Who is going?

I'll be there for a good amount of time, and MrKelso said he'd go...

I think DaveG is going, and TomB will be there... who else???

Jeremy

MrKelso

If the Doctor injects my back on Thursday i won't be going if i am still in pain. If the pain is gone i will bring my big face up there to see you guys and look for some Frankies.

To airplanenut;
Where exactly in Parsippany is the show being held? Is there a entrance fee? The last show I attended was back in late 69 or maybe 1970 at the Ben Franklin Hotel in Philadelphia. I'd like to attend a show that's within reasonable traveling(automobile) distance. Please let me know...Thanks.

Bustman

I'll be there.....I think?

razorface1027- I don't know where you're coming from, but if you can get to the big Route 80/46/23 interchange in Wayne, or Rt.287 it's
pretty simple.

Three ways to go:

Take Rt. 80 West to the Rt. 46 West exit (I think it's exit 47 but it's marked). Once on 46 West go to the to the third light & take the exit to the right for Baldwin Rd.
(Strauss Auto on right side of 46 & Burger King on the left). At the stop sign turn left, continue straight across Rt. 46 & the coin show is about 500' ahead at the PAL Building on the left.

-or-

Take 46 West from the interchange through Fairfield, Montville, and then into Parsippany. You will actually cross under Rt. 80 again.
After you go under Rt. 80, go to the third light & take the exit to the right for Baldwin Rd. (Strauss Auto on right side of 46 & Burger King
on the left). At the stop sign turn left, continue straight across Rt. 46 & the coin show is about 500' ahead at the PAL Building on the left.

-or-

If your coming from the Rt. 287 area, take 287 to the Rt. 46 East exit, go about 2 - 3 miles on Rt. 46 East, look for the PepBoys & Burger
King on the right. The next light is Baldwin Rd. Make the right onto Baldwin. Again, the PAL Building is on the left.

Parking is tough & your not allowed to park in the lots of the other buildings. You can park on the street & walk or circle for 10 minutes
in the lot like I do. It's a show worth going to with no entrance fee.

Much thanks to you MS-70...Yes, I'm familiar with all routes. I'll be coming from South Jersey, outside the Philadelphia area. Hope to see you there.

airplanenut

I'll be wearing my Hoboken Eddie's T-Shirt... I'm 6 feet tall and have lots of hair... you'll probably recognize me

ms70

Your welcome! I hope to be there, but I'm a little short on coin $$$ right now, so I don't know. I kinda went nuts on eBay this week!

razorface1027

LOL...You too huh! The old "Ball and chain" has dropped the hammer on me. I have to be a good boy for a while......just A WHILE.

Hey Jeremy,

I'll probably be there, along with my young nusmatist son. Perhaps we will get the chance to finally say hello.

airplanenut

<< <i>Hey Jeremy,

Considering you live 5 miles from me, it's about time!

...ironinc how it'll be farther from both of our houses than if we just drove and met each other half way

Oh, and who wants to see toned stuff? If you don't, TOO BAD!

DaveG

I'll be there.

Anyone want to set a time and place to meet?

By the way, there's tons of parking at Smith Field, which is just a short walk north of the PAL building.

airplanenut

I want to set up a time and a place!

But Tom won't have a table to hang around... drat!

Dave- does it start at 9 or 10?

Jeremy

DaveG

It starts at 9:00.

I'll get there about 9:40 or so.

airplanenut

We'll have to think of a time to meet... maybe 10:30 or so...

njcoincrank

I'll be there.



njcoincrank

airplanenut

...njcoincrank...

This time, you better introduce yourself, and not avoid me!

marcmoish

I may pop in this time Jeremy - before Yom Kippur I need some toned and lustrous sightings for the morrow





Marc

airplanenut

<< <i>I may pop in this time Jeremy - before Yom Kippur I need some toned and lustrous sightings for the morrow >>

Did I mention I'll be bringing toners?

Proof sets... singles... morgans... bust half... OH BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And yes, a big contrast is the show from what the night holds

fountainheadgold

why are there not any good shows in New England, Ct. I would like to go to NJ, but it is an all day deal

ms70

<< <i>why are there not any good shows in New England, Ct. I would like to go to NJ, but it is an all day deal >>



But that special coin is there waiting for you to take it home!

fountainheadgold

Ok, how do i get there, driving directions from New London

ms70

LOL!!

If anyone knows a better way than this, please jump in!

I would take 95 South, through NYC & come over the GW Bridge to Rt. 80 West. Then it's just what I posted above:

Take Rt. 80 West to the Rt. 46 West exit (I think it's exit 47 but it's marked). Once on 46 West go to the to the third light & take the exit to the right for Baldwin Rd.
(Strauss Auto on right side of 46 & Burger King on the left). At the stop sign turn left, continue straight across Rt. 46 & the coin show is about 500' ahead at the PAL Building on the left.

-or-

Take 46 West from the big Rt. 80/46/23 interchange through Fairfield, Montville, and then into Parsippany. You will actually cross under
Rt. 80 again. After you go under Rt. 80, go to the third light & take the exit to the right for Baldwin Rd. (Strauss Auto on right side of 46
& Burger King on the left). At the stop sign turn left, continue straight across Rt. 46 & the coin show is about 500' ahead at the PAL
Building on the left.

It's probably a 45 minute ride or less once you hit NJ. You'll have fun!

fountainheadgold

Thanks, i am going to try and covince my wife to take a road trip.

DaveG

How about we meet at 10:30 at the literature table outside the front door of the show?



Hey, fountainheadgold: I see a lot of shows listed for CT, although they're mostly smaller (20-40 dealers).

If you want a bigger show, try the White Plains show - four times a year. It's about 100 dealers in October and April and about 160 dealers in November and January.

DaveG

TTT

In case anyone wants to meet.

airplanenut

I'll be there, Dave... just confirmed I'll be able to get there a few minutes past 9:00...

Now, do I want to leave at 11:30, or 2:00???

Oh, everyone... bring your checkbooks and support me in the hobby with some great items I'll have for sale

Jeremy

No, really... seriously... do it!

marcmoish

so Jeremy what are we doing? who what and where?




Marc

airplanenut

I now vote 10:30 at TomB's table... back right corner table... he's got some really pretty ones! As long as you find me

Jeremy

MrKelso

It was nice meeting up with you Gentlemen today at Parsippany. We must do it again.

Bustman

I met Tom B and Airplanenut this morning. Two very nice guys. I feel I should apologize to Jeremy. I was talking to two other people and conducting a deal while meeting with him, so I was a bit distracted, and maybe a tad bit rude. I am sorry for that, Jeremy. Jeremy showed me a few nice coins of his. Boy, does that kid know his stuff.
Tom B did the worst thing anyone could do to a collector. He showed me this incredible IHC in 63RB with absolutely amazing tone. When I asked how much he said "oh, thats not for sale. I was just showing it to you." He still seems like a good guy, so I guess I'll forgive him.

EVillageProwler

Hey Bustman! You should've heard what TomB and Jeremy said about you!



EVP

marcmoish

yup it was nice bumping in to some of you members

Mr Kelso your patience with Jeremy perusing over his type coins (cool new $5 ), and stuff is admirable - I'm sure when he becomes a hot shot dealer or something he won't forget that.




Marc

airplanenut

Bustman- sell me that PR65 quarter and all is forvigen (for $50, of course )

Tom's coin, by the way, is Sinin1's icon... a marvel to be seen!

Marc- as for Coz... he was doing that as a business formality I've been working for/with him for a few months, and we only just met

Jeremy

Bustman

Jeremy,
The seated proof was a 66, so I'll have to get more like $65.00 on that coin.
It was indeed a pleasure to meet you. You will go far!!

MrKelso

Jeremy had a fine looking collection with him to show off on Sunday. The man is a walking book, a fountain of knowledge and a fine young man and he was wearing a realy cool t- shirt did you notice it?

Oh i almost forgot his pictures are most accurate.

airplanenut

Fine... $65 it is

airplanenut

marcmoish

Marc




Edited to add emphasis to cool.

airplanenut

Those shirts can be purchased for $15 each at HobokenEddies.Com

On another note - I was kinda dissapointed to find so few PCGS Merc's. Just none period. (well a few 40's in 65 plastic don't count Everyone had NGC's. Makes you wonder....one dealer mentioned Parsippany used to be NGC territory and everyone used to walk their coins in to them - which I guess explains why NGC plastic is all over the place. However since they moved down South seems now it is more evenly distributed. I also found lots of RAW - great for those looking for unslabbed coins. A true collectors delight.
One dealer - actually only one with truly better stuff had like 3 upscale merc's but way overpriced -....offering me a gorgous key merc with a very obvious water stain or something and making statements to the tune off I'll never find a nicer example yada yada yada for thousands of dollars over realistic price is well typical ....some of his coins though are truly super....
Too bad I'm not into SLQ's. SLQ had his usual display of some super coins....
Coolest table for me was probably the literature stand outside

Sorry, I did not make it on Sunday. I was actually not feeling all that well and slept much of Sunday morning. Hmm, I had a feeling I was going to have trouble making it in. Feeling a little better now.
