Greetings from the bourse floor of NYINC

CIVITAS

Got a fancy new-fangled cellular connection for our laptop, so I figured I'd give it a whirl.

I see there have been a few other reports on the show. Gene (NYGiants1960) came by earlier and spent a few bucks. (Well more than just a few. Thanks again, Gene.) Didn't bump into anyone else yet. Mr. Eureka has been behind us the whole time, so I guess that's two forum members spotted.

Things have been pretty brisk. I think we're in for another year of a strong world market. The Russians are still clambering for material, but many seem hesitant at the new levels. Auction prices were a bit weaker than expected I guess. Many requests for Finland, Colombia and even Cyprus.

Ancients are a bit slow, but we don't have a diverse or large enough inventory to accurately judge the health of that market.

Most dealers I've spoken too have a pretty positive outlook on this show. With metals climbing, this could be a very good year for the "Darkside."

Hope all is well at the show. Sounds as if I am missing alot. Are there any big dealers from the UK present?

Glad to hear it is a decent show for you, someday I will do NYINC, will we see you at ANA Atlanta?

Safe travels.....

CIVITAS

coinkat: There's a few big UK dealers here. Baldwin's at the very least. Spink too. Did a little business with Stephen Lockett from London Coin Auctions (just traveling, no table).

rhound: We plan to be at the Atlanta ANA. No definite plans yet. The ANA did something weird with their applications this year, and I don't recall what it was right now. I think they went all digital or something to that effect. Going to have to look into that soon.

Much Canadian at the show?

rhound1977

Hope to see ya at Atlanta, I have one of those fandangled SPRINT aircards they are great when you have a decent signal.....

CIVITAS

Canadian seems to be less in supply this year. We had a few new pieces that Gene grabbed. He said he was having a bit of trouble finding coppers.

rhound: We've got the Sprint card too. Still on our 14 day trial period. So far, I'm pretty well sold on it.

Is one an 1858 5c LD?

My plans got changed and I was not able to come today

Any ancients with that 'Old Cabinet' toning look?

This is awesome - chatting with you while you're doing a show!

Man

I still haven't gone. Had an hour and a half to kill for lunch, went to take the subway up there and forgot NO SERVICE take a shuttle bus.
That would take more then an hour.

I'll see if I stop by tomorrow, just like ajaan I'm looking for Canadian or French.

How are the crowds and prices?

Ben may have told you that I stopped by on Friday, when you weren't looking.

Josh - It was great to see you again. I really like the 2 silver $s, 1935 + 1936 I bought. I think the 35 will go MS63 and the 36 MS62. The 1899 dime turned out to be the small 9s variety. I showed it to Ron Guth and he loved it.

Don - Canadian material was in short supply. Bought 4 nice large cents - 3 raw Red/Browns from Karl Stephens and a 1906 PCGS 63RB for my registry set from Mr Kruenzer (I think that's his name).

No 1858 LD fish scales. Lots of common date $s and circulated silver.

I'll post a show report with some pix tomorrow.

I attended the NYINC show as well on Saturday but due to all the rain, I did not get there until 3pm.

Met with Mr. Eureka and saw Pistareen and decided at long last to rejoin the ANS. Plunked my $50 to join them!! I am now a member for the first time since 1969!!!!!! Scary!!!

Did not get to see any other darksiders at the show. Hardly any Canadian coins at the show.

I did not like the set up at the show with all the broken up rooms. The show seemed pretty well attended despite the weather.

I did get to see two items that REALLY EXCITED ME but I must admit that I must keep it a secret for now!!!

Left at 6:30pm, drove home and by the time I got nearly home had to drive in near blizzard conditions with blowing snow. What a change in weather from a balmy 55 degree day.

Thank you for posting the report, it is interesting to get a 'feel' of what is going on.

I find it interesting that Canadian coins are becoming more difficult to find. I visited a small antiques fair in the UK where there were a few coin dealers. Only one had a stock of any Canadian( he only had eight and I bought the lot ! ). I will post pictures when they come back from PCGS.

Again thanks for the reports.
