Today I decided to go back for a third time to this show. I wasn't planning on going back today but this morning it was rainy and cold so I decided to make the 35 minute trip south again.
This show started on Friday and ends today, Sunday. I was really surprised how much floor traffic there was on Friday. Being a work day, I thought the bourse would be empty. Not so. There was even more traffic on Saturday, and even today there were a fair number of people there eventhough some of the Ohio dealers took off last night.
The dealers who I talked to all said they had a good to very good show. I spent most of my time at the show socializing with people but I did buy more than I was expecting too. Some of the new coins have already been posted in this tread and this thread,. I picked up a really nice Thai coin today which I'll try to image sometime.
My most enjoyable time at the show was talking to Steve Corvo of Corvo International. He only deals in World coins and has a very nice selection of material. He also is very easy to work with, very friendly, not the grumpy old man syndrome you find with so many dealers. He is out of the Cleveland, OH area and mainly does shows in Ohio and PA. I highly recommend him if you ever see him at a show. He also said he had a good show which is somewhat surprising to me because this area is not noted for World coin collectors.
This was the second year for this show at its present location, before it was in Niagara Falls, NY, Roman will remember that one, and this year was far better than last in my opinion.

Thanks for the report!
(When I used to drive to Toledo every year, we would stop overnight in Hamburg)
