What service/feature would you like to see at coin shows that isn’t already being offered? Why?

From the May 17, 2024, Numismatic News E-Newsletter Readers' Poll. This week's poll response is small but mighty.

Coin Show

Things missing from the coin shows I attend:

1. Working air conditioning. There are always lots of heat lamps and no fans. Please turn up the A.C.!

2. Food and drink. Dealers are always allowed to have sandwiches and drinks, but customers aren’t even allowed a bottle of water. It gets hot on the bourse! So a cool drink inside would be nice without having to go outside to find one.

3. Wide aisles. If you are large and if you have a cane or walker, you spend your day playing “squeezy” while going through the bourse, trying not to bump into people or tables or chairs or knock over displays. While amusing to the dealers that get to watch this dance, it is no fun for those of us that deal with this.

Grading by either NGC or PCGS. I would never use another.
