ANA show report

Tibor

Got back from my trip to Atlanta for the mid winter ANA show.
The show was steady for the most part. Several dealers there that
dealt exclusively with ancients. The show cases were loaded with
$100+ coins and quite a bit of Roman and Greek gold. None of the
dealers there had the usual double row boxes with the cheaper
world coins. I usually pick thru the Hungarian section looking for
$40 or less pre 1940 coins. None of the foreign dealers brought
cheap paper money. Something like 25@$20 selections. PM was
not flying off the tables, odd since everyone was concerned about
the stock market correction due the Coronavirus situation. Dropped
off some coins with GC and submitted a few with the folks ATS. The
show was good time for me. It is what you make of it.

Hmmm...you must not have made it to the back corner of the room. The dealer next to me was pretty much all world paper money, most of which was not expensive! 1st time I've seen a dealer put out large notebooks of currency!

I must have missed him, oh well.

I was able to attend on the first day for the first time at any show. I unexpectedly found one coin that I really wanted. I don't think it still would have been there if I had come on Friday or Saturday as I have in the past.

I also saw plenty of ancients. Other than the coin I bought, I didn't even try to ask if they had other coinage I have bought in the past (South Africa and Bolivian early decimal).
