Visit planned to Manhattan.... Are there any....

Crazy4Coins

coin galleries or collections in town that would make my visit even better? I'll be in town the end of October. How about any big auctions ? I know since where talking about New York that there has to be something there I can't afford to miss...

I hear the ANS has a great library, and I think you may be able to see some coins.

Go to the Fed. Call in advance and take the tour. They take you down into the gold vault. On the way out see the ANS museum with some great rarities.

Well, under normal circumstances, I would think you were, as your nic states, "crazy" to go looking for a coin shop/material when going to a different town. Well...I was in two little towns (pop 2500) over the weekend and CAUGHT myself looking for a coin store. Tis a strange sickness we share!

Have fun

Downtown NYC is where it's at!

The ANS coin exhibit is at the NY Fed. Definitely worth the trip. No appointment necessary there, unless you want to visit the gold vault.

The ANS Library is close by and also worth a visit. You should call them for an appointment.

The Museum of American Financial History is also in the area, as is the NY Stock Exchange.

But most importantly, stop by Smythe and buy some coins!

BTW, all of the above are closed on weekends.

The NY Stock Exchange no longer offers tours, courtesy of our Arab friends.

Andy - where exactly is Smythe and are there any weekend hours?

Longacre

Stacks is also in the City, and I think they have a retail establishment.

Eureka-- do you know where I can find anymore information on the Fed tour? I am in the City all the time, so hopefully I can get away from work some afternoon and take the tour.

Thanks to all... I'm defintely looking forward to making the trip.Sounds like I've got a few extra places to visit now. Anybody know how close these places are to the Hilton? Are they within walking distance?

Smythe is at 2 Rector St on the 12th Floor. No weekend hours, unfortunately.

No. Sorry.

Not walkable, but it's an easy subway ride. You don't want to take a cab. Too much traffic.

Stacks is on West 57th Street between 6th and 7th Avenues. Very nice little shop with friendly personnel.
