Trump is winning because he is not PC. Let's talk in non-PC coin terms.

Doctors?
58 vs. 62?
Lasered proof gold?
Natural toning?
"Done Deals?"
Blue Indian Proofs?
Let's hear it. You guys need to speak the truth for a change.

Dealers polish up those websites and maybe organize a few well placed smaller boutique shows in places people actually want to go to.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
The coin show circuit will look completely different in a few years. Less shows/venues. The current structure is a joke and unsustainable. Shows are too frequent and some last a month.

I'm with you brother. You are very correct!
I guess those are "+" designations now in the PC world.

- Anything graded MS-65 or higher should *never* be ugly. or have negative eye appeal. Try not to collect these, they are always ugly at selling time.
- Dealers or sellers that pooh-pooh the 'millennials' are aiding in killing the hobby. The constant conspiracy grouch in perpetual misery might have been fine decades ago, but is a poor numismatic ambassador in today's social media world.
- There is really no excuse anymore to lack basic photography skills for taking coin images.
- Not taking flexible forms of payment at a show is becoming archaic. Yes, it's your business and you can say cash only, but how much money are you leaving behind by being inflexible?

Definitely agree on "too many coin shows", there are the usual local shows which I am sure that everyone could attend in their localized area. There should be a fewer Major shows, maybe one a month, and no longer than a week in duration. Do we really need more than one Baltimore, MD show per year? Florida? California? Chicago? Dallas? Dealers are spread pretty thin I would imagine, and are away from their offices too much to deal with phone-in customers or reply back to email inquiries in a timely manner.
Three shows a year is barely enough. This is the only national show in this area.

There are on 5 major shows....FUN, Central States, Long Beach and Baltimore and ANA a year.
And these are all 4 or 5 day shows except for ANA.
I don't understand this statement.

No it isn't. Mark is one of my favorite people here on these boards but I gotta disagree here on this note.
Carry on....
There LOTS of coin shows going on throughout the country, some major, mostly smaller..."just a pecking on the surface";

Aren't there three Long Beach shows, two FUN shows, two Baltimore shows, two ANA shows, and a whole pile of PCGS invitationals (arguably not major shows) along with the others you listed???

There IS an inner circle.
Yup. It's called "The Circle of Trust". There's also a "Circle of Rust". Guess which one I belong to.

Try being a collector without coin dealers. They provide a service that facilitates collecting.

That may be true, but a lot of them are also quite ignorant and sleazy.

Grumpy old men and snobby dealers steer YN's away from the hobby. Be nice, treat us "Millenials" with respect, teach us something (yes, we like to learn despite what you hear) and promote the hobby...you're going to need us to buy your coins some day!
Coin dealers have been grumpy and old since coin dealers were invented by Croesus.
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...

From my experience most are not that way.

With the instant info traveling at anyone's finger tips .. yes ...it is the start of the end of coin shows . but still nice to go
Let's see, what would be politically incorrect,
Did we really need to sign into law 50,000 $5 pink gold coins (approximately 75%, gold, 20% copper, and 5% silver) in 2018 to provide a $35 donation for breast cancer? It is a good cause, and I am fine with anyone who wants to, to donate all they want, but to force it on modern gold coin commemorative collectors it is a bit much IMO. Why not also make a $1.00 stamp with a pink ribbon that could be issued now for those that want them that is good for a 47 cent or First Class mail letter Forever and let those profits go there as well? Or maybe they already did as I don't follow stamps much?

Of course you don't have to buy it if you don't want
Very true, but since I collect them, I will buy it, but it is a trend that seems to be increasing to use coins for charity.
There were approximately 41,000 deaths to women and about 400 men died in 2012 from breast cancer and it is something that needs to be studied more and I am totally supportive. There are 27,000 men that died in 2012 of prostate cancer as well.
Hardly ever see much about research money for them, but maybe we can get one in blue platinum/palladium alloy in 2019, just to be fair.
I am pretty sure if Hillary gets into office she will extend the immensely popular First Spouse gold coins to include her husband, and I will have to buy that coin as well.
