Ok.... Here's my show report.

Got there at 9am on the dot. I assume some dealers went home after Thursday & Friday as there were a number of empty tables. What was there was a large variety of nice inventory. If you're into currency there were a couple of currency dealers with beautiful material, graded and raw. I was tempted to buy a $500 note just because..... but I stayed focused on coins.

In the end I didn't find anything on my want list and I wound up only buying a couple of green PCGS boxes, LOL....

The gem I got from the show was getting to speak with some of the dealers, all of whom were super nice and liked to chat. I met Wayne Herndon, who's name I've known for ages. Great guy. I enjoyed chatting with him for a bit. I was delighted to hear the Intercept Shield track style box for PCGS/NGC size slabs is making a comeback in a month or so! I'm a fan of their protective technology.

Sorry.... I didn't get a pic of my Nova Lox Bagel from Manhattan Bagel. I know we're all used to the cuisine that goes with coin shows.

Thanks for the report. I realize it was the last day of the show, but did you notice any movement in the bullion arena? Present dip in prices should be sparking some activity. Cheers, RickO

Thanks. Reports help us all understand where the market is heading and how it is doing in different areas.
