    Agreed. A lot of the dedicated numismatists/stackers/collectors take the day off on Friday, otherwise they show up early on Saturday. Like many 2-day shows, it's all over by early afternoon on Saturday and many dealers have to pack up and hit the road for long drives, sometimes of several hours. I am lucky in that I am only two hours away from this one, but the Princess still likes me to get home before dark.

    Kind regards,

    George

John Frost of the BCCS will be there giving presentations both days. I plan to attend his presentation on Saturday due to work obligations(dang boss!) I should be able to fill a few holes in my albums and maybe a few registry slots, who knows!

    I’ll be there Saturday. :smile: Going to try to sell my 1954-5 box proofs and pick up either a little gold or a couple of Morgans. It is a great show. I’ve been going off and on since the 1980s.

    Please come by and say hi and tell me who you are here ... do we know each other? The weather should be pretty nice for the Smoky Mountains in February.
