Come on folks.....It started yesterday....
Inquiring minds wanna know....
I'm leaving in about an hour. One of my goals is to get to the ebay table I find out if they have a code ( like last year) for 5 free listings, no seller fees good in coins. If I'm successful I will post the code. Someone did it last year and saved me hundreds $$$$$$$.
How about some show reports folks?? Cheers, RickO
The show started a half day ago. Isn't it a bit premature for reports?

Just got back. Show seemed smaller could be my imagination. Line to get in at 10am was about an hour ( not an hour long line but a line from 10am to about 11am). no line by the time I left just after noon. Sorry guys ebay didn't give out codes for 5 free listings, they got cheap. They gave out codes for $10 off next purchase. Each code unique so if I post mine first guy gets to use it and I don't. Sold 2 foreign gold coins for melt. I made $35 after the run up in gold. I bought a coin at Stacks last night so picking it up saved me $17.50 parking was $15 so it was a wash. Worth going but I get bored quick, as usual it's impossible to buy unless price is no object.
All good so far. Lot of business. Positive attitudes.
I herd from two people today said it was fantastic, one a dealer, one a serious buyer
People were buying coins . I have been busy in the world coin area.learned a few things too talking to those more knowledgeable in certain series.
I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
The show seemed pretty well attended. I talked to a Dealer friend of mine who indicated he'd sold a huge amount to a few people where no matter what happened, he was free rolling the rest of the week. I asked a few other Dealers how things were going and everyone was upbeat.
I found one Dealer who had a number of gold CAC coins in his case. Since I have 6 myself and one (a 1938 D Buffalo in PCGS MS 65) is identical, I asked to view his and priced it. $175 was being asked, about what I thought it would be.
I've yet to see any PCGS PL coins aside from Morgan's. I'm looking forward to that encounter.
I found one Dealer who had a few very reasonably priced Redfield's. A few Paramount's too. They seem to have come down a bit in price over the past year.
Going back to pick up a re-holder and drop off a submission tomorrow.
Anyone wanting to save some money on parking should be aware that the CTA lot about 4 blocks north of the Stevenson Center has all day parking for $7.00.
More tomorrow.
Show report: my feet hurt. On the plus side my Fitbit is very happy with me today.
