You may find some somber dealers around 10:00 as at that time there is a funeral for one of the collectors in the area who has been around the shows for a long time and hung out at the McIntosh table.
I will also attend the coin show in Grand Island, NE tomorrow.
Personally, I have ALWAYS had great success at finding exceptional coins at fair prices.
....and in attendance....is also the KING of coin cleaners in the modern era. He usually has 4 -6 tables FULL of coins that have been "enhanced" by him. He is careful to not list a grade.....but only a price.
Stopped by and snooped. Looked at non US coins. Saw a Dansco New Zealand Type Set Album filled with all denominations of coins minted from 1937 forward.
The coins were mostly MS with some being EF to AU. The latest date on the coins was 1967. Fun to look at.
I did purchase a 1953 10 coin proof set from Great Britain in OGP. The Royal Mint proof set OGP in 1953 is way better than its US counterpart.
I was at the show for maybe 40 minutes after a court hearing. I said hello to some dealers, walked the bourse, looked at non US coinage, picked up the proof set from Great Britain and left to go back to my office.
The bourse had, I guess, between 25 to 40 dealers. I arrived at about 1:00 PM. The bourse was very busy with the aisles being crowded. To move up and down the aisles you had to rub shoulders with others. There were some log jams where you had to wait for traffic to move.

I buy online but would much rather go to a show and see the material in person. Love coin shows!!
