    I will be at the Baystate Coin Show on Friday, November 18. It is traditionally perhaps the largest and best coin show in New England, rivalled only by EBW's New England Coin and Currency Expo in September in Bedford, NH. I have been attending the Baystate Show for perhaps 20 years now, and wouldn't miss it. The venue has changed the interior recently, putting dealers in several small rooms instead of one big room, but the show attracts a good mix of dealers from all across the country. I recommend it.

    I plan on going... haven't been to a show since Baltimore.

    I'm considering skipping class on Friday, but that might not be a good idea, as I have an exam a few days later. That might mean just Saturday for me image Or, Friday morning and Saturday image

    This is the one show that I try to attend. I've been there four times, but I must admit I don't like the new layout. I prefer one large room as opposed to the many smaller rooms.

    I went to this show last year, it was the first big show that I had been to, I was a bit overwhelmed. I work in Boston so I will probably just stop by after work on Friday.

    I usually attend this show, but I won't this year. Apparently, some genius scheduled it in conflict with the Santa Clara Expo. The Santa Clara Expo is a far better show in comparison.

    I first attended the Bay State show in 1969, I believe. I can't even remember what year it was.

    I do recall going to the Bay State show in November 2000 and it was also split up in an infinite number of rooms as well, I believe in the Boston Sheraton.

    So is this split up into many small rooms something new? I thought otherwise.

    The show nowadays is held at the Radisson Hotel on Stuart Street in Boston. The bourse room being spread out amongst a bunch of smaller uneven rooms is an annoyance. I would be in attendance if it weren't scheduled the same time as Santa Clara.

    Speaking of an annoyance, the NY International Coin show literally follows the Florida FUN show!!

    What the heck is going on?????

    I think the ancients and foreign have their own room...everybody else is scrambled into their little cubicles they call meeting rooms.

    Spent several hours at the show today, and actually bought 3 coins. Very happy about that.

    1875 PCGS 20C MS62 (for my type set)
    1926-S Anacs 5C F-12 (old Anacs slab...old school graded, if you know what I mean) -- Nice 2/3 horn...tale and LIBERTY are both separated from the rim.
    1938-D 5C PCGS MS66 (REAL!! nice -- again, for my type set).

    Saw many folks from the boards there...although they might not have seen me.

    I almost pulled the trigger on a raw 1836 $2.5 gold (I thought it looked Unc++...and I could've bought it for premium to AU50 bid), but some of my friends (probably wisely) talked me out of it. Thanks Darrin image
