There was the big Pate Swap Meet this week (Wednesday - Sunday) north of Dallas. I picked up 7 common date Morgans for $10 from one guy. Saw some common proof sets for $10 and some Mint Unc sets for $5.
If you walked the meet at looked at each space, it takes just over 21 miles to cover it, all outside, all in a parking lot.
Some differences, how do you think this would play out at a coin show?
- Many spaces do not have anyone there. They are out looking for stuff themselves. You see cell numbers to call for questions, and some have little boxes / Cans, etc to put money in if you want to buy stuff. Others say on the phone to give it to the person in the next space. I had several people leave money in the console of my truck.
- The weather was great, so many people did not bother to tarp or cover their stuff at night. Some sleep in campers, or tents at their spots, others in the NASCAR campground and others just go home.
- No problem with counterfeit parts that I saw.

Stranger things have happened...
Sometimes folks just don't know, or even care, what stuff is worth.
