Attended what for me is the social event of the year. Perhaps you have heard of it; the NYINC!
Met Mr. Eureka and 1960NYGiants at the Smythe table. Spotted Civitas, but he looked so intense at some dealer's table that I did not want to interrupt him. Since I am held hostage to the Oyster Bay line of the LIRR, I could not stop for lunch. I already had problems there when they cancelled my train. I like to be at the opening bell and make a mad dash to the Margolis table, but it was not to be, this year.
Biggest successes: having come too late to successfully battle the crowd at Magolis, I wandered more sedately over to Donald Young. Much to my delight, I was there alone. A long, leisurely browse through his stock, though he told me that someone had come in on Thurday and cherry picked much of it.
Another success, though not as momentous, was finding a Swedish 1 Skilling copper, 1802.
Biggest failure: couldn't find a 4 Skilling copper from between 1849 and 1855. I am putting together a small and limited type set of large Swedish coppers, and I find this item somewhat difficult.
As soon as I get a chance, I will post some medals. Have fun to those who will be in NYC today and Sunday.

Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
I, too, am working on a report and will post later today once I get the pix OK.
