Come on out to the Brookpark, Ohio monthly coin show on Sunday. It's a smaller show with perhaps 30 dealers, but there always seems to be something good that comes out of it for me. I'll be attending with a dealer friend in an attempt to further my education, but also in the hopes of getting a shot at whatever he might buy at the show before the vultures walk into his shop on Tuesday!!! There has always been a nice crowd at this show and with bullion up and the year off to a robust start it should be well attended. I would add that although CW lists a starting time of 10 AM the doors are open for dealer set-up around 8 AM and collectors are welcome to enter early and browse.
Look for me or ask for me at Affordable Jewelry and Coins which should be easy to find-----just look for the crowded table with the giant "We Buy Coins" red-on-white sign!!!

Is it worth going?
i'll be hoping to find some nice Proofs and perhaps some singles for Modern Crap sets i'm working on like Ike Dollars. there's usually a guy with quite a few to search through.
I don't go every month, but a couple of times a year works for me.....
Can't spend to much with the bigger show at the end of the month.....
here's a prime example, a tasty little gem that graded MS68 at NGC!!
if I get to feeling better and depending on what (if) my wife works Sunday, I might come up if it's not that one guy's gig.
The entry fee for that show at the end of the month is always great and gets me swearing, but what you going to do, that just takes a few bucks out of my budget for the show.....
Keets what exactly is that?
it's a Gold Dollar size tribute to Hendrik Hudson issued by Thomas L. Elder in 1909 and catlogued as HK-371. the obvers is of course Hudson and reverse is his ship, The Half Moon. the detail is astonishing and the surfaces are a lovely Matte-like Proof which seemed in vogue at the time. if you look closely you can even see the tiny figures on the ship and the designers initials and half-moon at the end of the lettering. the color is superb and when you consider a nearly 100 year old gold medal at MS68, well, i can only smile at my good fortune!!!
I have never been able to exactly figure out why Nelson is loved so much?
Or is simply because of the prices he charges?
like i always say, I'll show you, I'll hurt me" is a stupid philosophy to go through life with, but i digress. many will stay away fro hundreds over a five dollar fee and i don't fault them for their decision.

Me, I'm just a stubborn SOB. I went to one show a few years back and it was in WAY too small of a venue. People were packed in like sardines and you couldn't take step without bumping into someone or someone bumping into me or my kid. Plus I had to Pay to go into that.
I've never been back and will never attend one of his shows ever again. Thank God that the snail mailings and emails finally ceased at some point.
You pay shipping fees and commissions when you purchase else where so.....
