People using Ebay pricing are not including multiple factors: 1) Is the price asking or sold price as the dealer mentioned in the video 2) Does the price have additional shipping charges 3) Don't forget sales tax 4) It doesn't factor in the value add of being able to not only see the actual item in hand, but also taking it home that day versus waiting days or longer for it to arrive 5) There is also value to cash and carry Obviously, there is value to the dealer to sell at a show - no Ebay or Paypal fees, no worries of lost packages or bogus claims by unscrupulous buyers, etc. So this has to work both ways.
I've found that quite often when I respectfully walk away I tend to get another counter offer before I am out of ear shot. Like you say, haggling is an art. I think personally for me the key to getting good deals is to show a bit of interest but not that it is a deep thing for you. You need to seem like you can easily walk away you just kind of seem interested. It works the best for me.
I bet that coin show was lots of fun! Great additions with that Canadian and US commemorative half dollars and the Leif which has been on my bucket list for a while! Well done!
Be polite, stay out if other people's deals. If your gonna set for long periods of time and go thru dealers books and bins , buy something. Even if it's a couple bucks. Haggle but don't argue. And always ask before grabbing, oh and don't walk away with something even to ask a buddy, call them over. Keeps hands and coins you are looking at in plain site. Have fun! Number one rule. You will learn something guaranteed.
@@scratchoffgal2016 nothing to be nervous about , but I do remember the feeling. Most dealers love to talk so soak it up. Lots to learn. Take a couple trips around the floor b4 ya buy anything. Have fun and set a budget, easy to get carried away.
if i see a dealer flat out ripping someone off .. sorry i can not hold my tounge and will tell that person to buy it elsewhere as i find it all but criminal to take advantage of first time buyers.
Hi. Spectacular, nice group, Glad to see you got a few more Commemoratives. The older designs are my favorites, especially the 1794/1795 Flowing Hair pieces. I bought a lower grade 1795 half when ai was young, 11-12 years old for $30-$50 , A good investment ,over 65 years ago. Upgraded to a better condition a few years ago, now I have both. Thanks, Bill
Its been a long time when I was able to go a show! But everytime I did go, all the dealers are so informative... they want to pass on the knowledge they have! It is there passion! Besides the more we all learn the better negotiators we can be. That's when it becomes more fun! 🇺🇸👍
As a coin collecter been to hundreds of shows number one rule never buy a coin with a hole in ,and never ever pay asking price ,there's always wiggle room 🤔
Great Video Speg You have got me interested in commemorative halves, they are beautiful, I myself would prefer to have them out of the graded cases, I like to hold them ,get the feel of them, These ships are beautiful, Thanks
Thank you for going over some coin show etiquette. I will definitely take your advice, especially since the FUN show is coming up next month and that will be my first time attending a coin show.
I love coin shows, try to go to them when they pop up. Went to one this weekend and picked up a couple 19th century proofs in pcgs with CAC stickers. A 1883 or PR 64 quarter and a 1882 PR 64 nickel. Love the treasures they have to sell. Thanks for the show report spegtacular 👍
The biggest thing to conscience of is to be respectful. If you respect the dealers they will (mostly) respect you. I've seen dealers who are jerks just like anyone can be a jerk but for the most part they're decent and even nice to you if you are respectful to them.
Love these coin show videos. Great job, Speg. You always succeed in driving me jealous, hahaha 😆. So envious. But that's all OK, because it shows how good you are.❤👍👍
Man this was a great video. You took some really good shots at the coin show. I very much enjoyed. I had no idea there was a 2008 Eagle with an 07 reverse. That one dealer selling the 2020-w end of WW2 gold coin for $3000 was insane though lol. I was like what?! Nice commems! I love ship coins too
Four cool pickups. I couldn’t make that show. Unfortunately I was working. That ship on the reverse of the Pilgrim is beautiful. Still have Summer FUN on my schedule!
Beautiful pick ups speg. Nice info on how to behave at a show or lcs for that matter. I picked up a 5oz Armenia Noah's ark coin on ebay for $145 shipped $29 a ounce from a seller who was not a silver seller just happen to have a couple silver pieces. Had some toning but overall a beautiful coin.
I actually never have been to a coin show. Maybe I’ll go one day. Nice pickups you animal! As for etiquette, I’d imagine busting out a Sigma and verifying coins in front of a dealer would be rude.
18:49 and 19:54 The halfpenny in England when I was a kid had a sailing ship on it and I do agree they make beautiful designs. Not as gorgeous as the ones on the coins you showed but still nice. If course those halfpennies were copper. The ship looks better on a silver coin but I do have a 1951 Proof Halfpenny that has killer tab type toning. Common coin but so pretty.
If you're lost just drive up a hill and look.....oh....you're in Florida....I forgot that the highest point in Florida is a landfill.....carry on ;) Have not been to a coin show for it seems like years....oh...wait... I miss them, always looking for something new or interesting or sometimes just a super deal!!
@Listing with Les LOL first space mountain is not a mountain at all...steel and cement and plaster at best. I like my mountain better...glaciers, and rivers, and critters...lots of critters!
Great Video! I was eyeing the newer commemratives for $25.00 each...They had about 15 I think, If you bought all of them and could sweet talk them down to $22.00 or $23.00, you would be getting a very low mintage, mostly proof, U.S. Mint issued coin for very little over melt. Melt is $20.21 as I type. No body likes them, but they are a real value, everything considered. I buy the gold sets off of E-Bay and often can buy for just a little over the melt price of the gold.
One part of etiquette that you always practice and have mentioned before but I appreciate in your videos is asking permission to look at and pick up someone’s coin. It is very courteous and demonstrates treating someone with respect.
Really appreciate and enjoy your video’s Spegtacular, so much fun looking at all these great coins and rounds at the coin show ,shows like that are hard to find here in Australia. Take care mate .
Please pump and hype the classic commem coins. I am down on most of these. But it would be nice to see these neglected US coins get the recognition that is deserved.
18:47 and 20:35 Do you have any opinions or videos about different grading services and holders / years of slabbing? Like there are some strict grades on green PCGS slabs. Not always but sometimes those coins look nicer than the grade. Some earlyish NGC slabs I have - not so much!
Totally new in this world, looking forward to some coin shows towards Toronto 2022 However the Coin market confuses me at times, I don’t know if there’s any apps out there to help, please let me know. But I’ve literally seen two coins side-by-side one worth $11 and the other one worth $140 and to me they look almost identical. Open to any suggestions
I would ask the dealer if he wants to advertise his shop. Let them explain their products, full time or part time etc.....views would increase and you would help the hobby.
Would you say that there's a lot of different sets of commemorative collections.. if I started collecting them.. would I need to know about different sets.
Great video and coin etiquette is common sense and goes both ways. As a collector I've been passed up by table dealers probably because I look like "lower class collecting ruffian!" One-time there was two tables that happened to have the same certified Morgan dollar I was looking for. Table one dealer was clearly ignoring me then immediately gets off his butt to help this other guy in slacks, collar shirt, and a tie. I was clearly standing there waiting to see this 1904 P MS63 dollar he had. So, I mentioned I was before this guy and he actually had the balls to tell me most of his coins I couldn't afford! I walked 4 feet over to table 2 dealer and he had the same 1904P in MS63. So, I pulled out and waved my 5K wad of Franklins making the purchase while laughing at and making direct eye contact with this moron at table 1. I then went on to purchase 2K more in certified silver dollars from table 2! What is even better, tie guy didn't buy anything! Coin show etiquette...it goes both ways!
Nice pick ups, all coins i have, guess we have good taste. I bought that maple leaf solo also without the eagle. Love the commems with ships, just got a really nice Long Island at a coin show last month to replace the banged up one I had prior. Leif Ericson set I bought last year when LCS had one in, not my usual cup of tea with modern commems but that set was hard to resist. Got it with the Icelandic coin that came with it also
I'm not sure how I'll know next time. They didn't post this show on their FB page - I guess because the main guy past away? Anyway, I'll try to find out. Thanks for your video!
Great video Speg!! Love how you touched on etiquette. Nothing worse than poor etiquette in general, but especially at a coin show. Top 1 for me. - Do not interrupt the conversation between the dealer and another buyer. Wait until you are acknowledged.
As a dealer (in other collectibles - not coins), I highly appreciate a possible customer waiting their turn until I am done with the present customer...especially IF we are close to making a deal.
What dealers lack to understand is that, "Yesterday's Price is not Today's Price". Prices fluctuate on a daily basis..They need to get with the times...
I’m Jonesing to go to a coin show . These 80 hour work weeks leave me no time for crap anymore. Lucky dude . So I’m not aloud to grab someone’s gold coins without asking dang it . Lol 😂 If someone just grabbed my coins without asking I’d probably loose is . Great video sir I to love ships on coins some of my favorites. Great job on the pick ups
There's a big coin show in Denver next weekend.. and it's closed Sunday. I work Thu-Sat at the post office. Does the event promoter think that EVERYONE has a 9-5, M-F job?
I love coins, my brother from another mother. Lol just kidding. If I am selling a coin. I always try to keep in mind that the next person needs to make money on it as well. So I always like to leave room in the coin for the next person. Never ask another customer in front of the booth or in a coin store if you can buy what they are selling that is just inconsiderate. Just like the coin guy said he threw someone out of a show for that very reason. I also think no question is a bad question so the dealers should have patience with any and all questions.
I went to my first coin show the other day. I went in with x amount of money and a list i spent all the money and didn't get a single thing on the list lol but thats ok because i got some amazing coins. Definitely seen some awsome things you only see at coin shows. I've never seen a 5oz gold bar in real life but this guy had 5 or 6 of them in his box 🤯
I went to a coin show here in Salt Lake City. I found a good size roll of cash in the parking lot. I asked if they had a lost and found thy said no. I said oh well I found this. They didn't want to take it. I said its not mine someone will be looking for it. They took it don't know what happened to it.

I like coin shows a lot. Sometimes I spend a bundle. Sometimes I don't. But I always have a good time!
Sometimes it’s nice to just go and get ideas or be around other coin nerds :)
Thanks for sharing your experience & pick ups. Beautiful ships!
Good video, it’s like being at the show. It’s nice to see what’s out there and available in other places. I liked your pick ups, thanks for sharing!
FUN!! That is collecting. I prefer the 500+ varieties of bust half dollars. Thanks Spectacular show.
Big like 1.2k! Amazing video and thank you so much for sharing!

Love Florida. This is like a bazaar of the great coin shops in FL.
The biggest thing to conscience of is to be respectful. If you respect the dealers they will (mostly) respect you. I've seen dealers who are jerks just like anyone can be a jerk but for the most part they're decent and even nice to you if you are respectful to them.
Ain't NObody gonna fall asleep on your vids!! Not on my watch anyway!! We luvs your too much to take a little nap on YOUR time!
Love these coin show videos. Great job, Speg.
You always succeed in driving me jealous, hahaha 😆. So envious.

Thank you Shashank!
How can we squash this pesky fly claiming to be Speg and "pinning" comments?

Yoooooooooooo Speg! Man that pepsi lighter was soooo nice at the beginning! Some sweeeet coins too!
Just one thing to add. If you’re looking for something, ask. Most dealers have more inventory behind them in boxes then they do on their tables.
Excellent point. That’s helped me a bunch.
Slabbed W West Point Quarters already in Coin Shows👀. I saw Ikes too👀👀👍👍. Good videos as always.

You did it!
I love the commemorative! Something you don't see every day
Guys voice is so recognisable now. Knew it was him talking about etiquette 🙂
Bro I love the Leif Ericson coin I know it’s not worth much but the design and story is so cool to me so I bought it anyway
Huge fan of your channel from Bangladesh...Jerry 🥰🇧🇩
Wow! Across the world. Thank you.

Dang the commemorative craze is going to catch on! Currently the are the best value out there, based on many factors including low mintages

Nice pick ups, all coins i have, guess we have good taste. I bought that maple leaf solo also without the eagle. Love the commems with ships, just got a really nice Long Island at a coin show last month to replace the banged up one I had prior.
