exo, thanks. Right now in my collecting process I care less about variety's etc. Maybe some day. I have no limit on time at the show so I can feel out many dealers and see.

A question to all the EAC suggestions, how do I find if a dealer is EAC affiliated or not?

That's the thing of it, ExoGuy. Your words are wise, and it's perhaps only my own experience that EAC pricing is as conservative as its' grading. Made a fair piece of money flipping things bought from serious EAC guys.

No recommendation is as important as "shop around," though.

Absolutely the best book for grading early copper, including large cents:

My apologies if someone already mentioned this - I have not read through the entire thread.

You will quickly see that the grading of early copper is more stringent. This book is worth the $.

No worries Pete, thanks for the suggestion. Tight budget and will definitely think to buy the book in the future.

Dave, what's the best way to shop around, I'm sort of new to big shows too. I went to a smaller one and ended up sitting with a guy and just chatting about coins/life for almost an hour without buying anything. There weren't many buyers though, however at a bigger show I may feel like shooting the breeze/browsing and not buying comes off as disrespectful or a waste of their time. Any insight there?
