With time constraints for taking off work, airfare, 1-night hotel, and ground transportation attending the show will cost me about $30 per hour of time that I get to spend walking the floor. The collective inventory of the dealers listed on the website (and the luxury of evaluating all coins in-hand!!) make me think that it will be money well-spent. But I wonder how much other Forum members--particularly those who live very far from Chicago, Long Beach or Orlando--spend (per hour of floor time) to attend the major shows. Especially since we all know that every dollar spent getting to the show is one less dollar we have to spend at the show. numis18thc Report this Post to the Staff

jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4692 Posts	Posted 08/17/2014 03:12 am Long Beach show has been very disappointing. I only live a few minutes from there but can't always get there until the last day. Last show I went to, I only had time to attend around noon on the last day. Most dealers were gone. PCGS was ready to leave and seemed uninterested in helping customers. Makes me wonder why the show organizers advertise that the show goes until 5 PM when the dealers are not around after noon. I sent an email to the Long Beach organizers asking why they advertise the show goes until 5 PM but dealers are no longer there past noon....no response. That's my opinion of the show.

Because if they decided to close it at Noon and advertised it that way almost all the dealers would close down and leave the day before and there would be no one there when the show opened on the last day. Many shows used to be Fri, Sat, and Sunday but most of the dealers were gone by Noon Sunday. So they dropped Sunday. Now the dealers disappear around Noon Saturday and some leave Friday night. What's next, drop Saturdays and just have Friday shows? Report this Post to the Staff
shadz Pillar of the Community 1325 Posts	Posted 08/17/2014 08:05 am AS a CRH-er since a coin would cost more than face value, I have no use for shows. I would pay if someone had a small chest full of reales they would let me carry around for about 10 minutes (literally around, like walking circles around their table like trying to pace out a treasure location) to feel like a pirate, but other than that I can see every coin online or on TV, and holding them serves no purpose for me since metal feels like metal. I might also pay to try to swim in a giant pile of gold coins ala Scrooge McDuck. So I would pay 0/hr. Report this Post to the Staff
