Super great to meet @Lakesammman and Charmy today!
Show was quite busy early and then an afternoon lull while the Seattle Mariner’s won their first playoff game in 21 years!
Very little time to wander away from my table and shop for myself, perhaps tomorrow…
My PCGS order that i thought was going to make it to my house BEFORE the show actually arrived at my local PO today, alas the hobby will have to wait for the Portland WCC show next month to peruse…
I purchased a handful of decent type coins that were offered to me by a gentleman who was liquidating his 70 year collection…i kinda think the best pieces in his box were gone before he landed at my table…
Looking forward to Saturday and the collectors filtering through the door!

    Quick, Saturday update!
    Met @Swampboy, we traded a few stories and he bought a couple coins, Sounds like this guy can play the guitar, who knew!
    Sales continued steady most of the day until the Mariners game was on…And yes, they rallied from 7 runs down and and swept aside the Bluejays! On to the Astros!
    Sales picked up in the last hour with Type coins in the 50$ or less category being the most popular…
    I purchased a few raw Buffaloes before the show opened for my XF/AU album…i brought very little gold but a lot of folks were inquiring about pre 33 gold…
    Looking forward to Sunday!

    Very slow Sunday lazy last day…
    Told myself beforehand i would be happy with a particular number in sales, took until 2 pm for my first sale of the day, to be fair i expected this as the Seahawks were playing at 10 AM just as the show opened, they lost..but before long folks began to filter in to the show…
    A 1K goal and nearly got it with a single coin sale and made a new friend to boot!
    Sold a handful of coins after that and decided to wrap up at 3pm…
    Overall impression is that the collector/ type market remains fairly solid..
    Looking forward to Portland next month!
