Westchester County Coin Club welcomes new members
Show Report for Fri....
not a lot of action, some dealers report slow sales, some had fair sales....public turnout light....
most dealers agree that WESPNEX should be one of the best shows in the area of tri state NY, NJ,CT
yet it is not reaching its potential

This show is in lower level (Nov/Jan shows are upstairs)
Big drag for many was that show supply dealer failed to show today....many lost sales to him for many people asked me where he was and that they had planned to buy items....
Some nice new coins turning up from several dealers (myself included) Millers Mint, etc...from Portland ANA show
My show specials this show include 5 pcs of the new 5c for a 25c, peace dollars $8, 2004 silver eagles $8, red books $10, 1 oz gold Krug $425, and the 2004 state quarter at face....

If you have some time Sat or Sun please stop and visit my table....
PS: bring your own food, stand food is awful...or visit city limits diner next door or deli delicious next door

I made it there Friday & would describe the activity pretty much the same as Scarsdale Coin does. One observation I made was at a dealer's table that had almost all gold- Some customers were going back & forth with the dealer about some double eagles & the dealer had to get on a cell phone to check the current metal prices! I guess that's an indicator the market is pretty volatile & moving fast as far as gold is concerned.

Also, I only collect US coinage, but I do have a slight interest in ancient coins. I stopped by a table specializing in ancients & the dealer was a really great guy. He saw me taking a casual look & he started to tell me about some of the coins. He was really pleasant to talk to and made me walk away with a little bit more numismatic knowledge than I came there with. He showed me some fascinating coins, one being from 610 BC. Amazing. I wish I got a business card from him so I could tell you who his is but I forgot. When you walk into the bourse he's on the left wall about half way down.

The highlight of the show: I finally got my 3 Legged Buffalo! PCGS slabbed of course! I'll post a pic in the next few days.
