Went to New York on Saturday to attend the NYINC. Got there for the 10am opening and left at 3pm. Wow, what a show!!! Nary a liteside coin in sight image nor that much Greyside either image. Although, I managed to find some nice ones (pics below). Lots and lots of ancients - I would say 60% of the dealers were ancients only.

Saw lots of nice British pieces. One guy had a tray full of red bun head pennies and half pennies. Saw a PCGS PR65DCAM Una and the Lion for only $42,000! image Lots of Brit gold + silver, hammered and milled.

There were 3 dealers who had lots of Conders - tempted but managed to look only.

Met Josh of Civitas Coins. Real nice guy. We had a pleasant conversation about his summer digs. Picked up 3 Canadian tokens from Josh.

Also met Karl Stephens. He had a bunch of German porcelain notgeld and Karl Goetz medals including a scarce American copy of the Luisitainia in lead. Most were struck silver and pricey. I picked up the red 1902 cent from Karl.

Talked with Scot of Heritage. I asked about that Aussie gold coin that Bosox mentioned in another thread. It did not meet reserve @ $350,000+

Spinks had two setups: one for coins mostly hammered and one for books. I bought the last copy of British Copper Tokens 1811-1820 by Withers. It is the 1999 updated edition. It has a section on "non local" Canadian tokens including Halliday - Tiffin - and Wellington tokens. Very nice B+W pics.

This was my first time at NYINC and I'll be going back.

    Nice pick ups! I will be moving to Idaho in June and am looking forward to traveling to some real shows this year, until then I will continue to look at all the show report postings and sigh...
