I love your show reports. Looks like a great show and super fun time. I agree, if someone doesn't like a show report they can always just close it and move on . I enjoy the behind the scenes and after hours fun just as much as the beautiful coins. The entire experience and people are what make a coin show worthwhile to me
We were not let down! Fantastic report. Unfortunately I past by Rosemont on my way to Wisconsin to attend a fishing rod building workshop - but next year I hope to attend. Thanks for the effort to share what we missed.

Thanks for the thread and all the effort.
It is simply wonderful to see all the new faces in numismatics and see that the baton is finally being passed to a new generation. There are just that many 40 and 50 year old faces. It's good to see more women. All we need now is more races and more diversity but this will take care of itself in time.
Did the feeling that it was a great show affect other dealers and the public as well?
I had considered coming to this one.
I asked a lot of dealers how their show was going and not one said they had a bad show; on the contrary, actually every dealer I spoke with said this was their best show ever! And the public was equally thrilled to be at a large show where they could finally see coins in hand and buy coins they'd been looking for!
That's GREAT NEWS!!
Thanks for the AWESOME report.
I really enjoy them.
Sometimes, it’s better to be LUCKY than good. 🍀 🍺👍
It is great to see one of your reports again! Congratulations on your award. I stopped by on Thursday to offer congratulations but you were super busy.
Great report! I love reading (and looking) through something thorough like this. My only criticism is there wasn't enough focus on the airplanes you took. In the past you've taken some shots of the wing and/or scenery, so I know you can do better
Another Great Report, Charmy. Thanks for sharing. Love seeing actual photos of the items, displays and, especially the dealers and forum members. Nothing wrong with the wine photos as well.

I’m happy for you and thanks for sharing your experiences! It’s pleasing to see that my friends are doing well and able to find things that bring them joy. Thanks for the amazing show report Charmy, you set the bar high!
Excellent pictures and show report. Thankful I upgraded my old computer to a faster one. Your reports only takes a few seconds now to upload, compared to minutes in years past....Thanks
Thanks for the report, another enjoyable read. The exhibits looked really neat, that would be a big reason for me to attend a major show, even more than shopping for coins.
Greaf report Charmy as usual .
I hope to see you at the Whitman show In Baltimore in November.
I know you like good food and resturants,you should try "Tio Pepe's " in Baltimore.
Quite a few dealer friends from out of state have been returning there for dinner at each Whitman show here. Thanks again for the report.
I've been super busy this week so when I saw your report pop up a couple of days ago I decided to wait until I could really take my time and enjoy it. I'm glad I did. Thanks for sharing and putting this together for us!
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
Charmy, it was wonderful to see you in Rosemont and to share a dinner with you and friends. Forget the nattering nabobs of negativity...your show reports are awesome!
So many fun photos and it is always great to see faces attached to names, some of which I have met, and many others known through dealings and reputation.
That menu from Gibsons was informative and the price of Alaska King Crab in Chicago caught my attention - after having ordered it at an upscale restaurant in Alaska last week where instead of getting one pound for $92 the damage was $79 for one and a half pounds. Like those pictured, the claws and legs were also enormous.
Again thanks for taking the time and effort to allow a vicarious sharing in the gathering and events by those of us unable to attend in person.
THANK YOU Charmy for the fantastic report! I'm always awed by the time and effort you devote to these. Really enjoy seeing the shows through your eyes and look forward to many, many more in the future
I enjoy seeing your coin show reports, and thumbed through this one yesterday... then later on watching a re-run of "pawn stars" I saw you on the show. Really cool coincidence (I had not see that episode before either)
The exhibits look great. I especially liked the Chicago Coin Club 100th anniversary medals. All were very well done, however. Next best thing from being there - thanks
Charmy, I met you way back in 2009, and you look exactly the same. Haven't aged one bit. I think you might be a vampire. Thanks for the report and photos. It looks like you had a great time!

THAT is a show report. Never been to a major show in 65 years of collecting. Going next year, God willing.
