5 Minute FUN show report

Got there Wednesday. Walked the floor for 4 hours. Bought 4 Bust Dimes - 2 new die marriages for my set and 2 upgrades. Successful day!

Got there first thing Thursday. Walked the floor from open until close (6:30). I didn't buy anything until 5 PM, but sold a bunch of stuff here and there.
Made a couple interested numismatic and non-numismatic connections and met some great, fun interesting people. It was a great day.

Friday I too got to the show early for the JRCS meeting (my first one). Finally put a lot of names to faces who are BIG in the world of Bust silver.
I bought a couple more coins - unexpectedly! Both were Bust Dimes (should be pretty obvious by now), and both were sizable upgrades (for sizable $$$ - to me).
I sold a bit more, and again didn't leave until a short while ago. I did make one minor cherrypick.

The bourse has been active and busy every moment of every day. The weather has been wonderful...even though I was stuck inside at the show.
I had terrible allergies which I was suffering and surviving through the entire weekend. But overall I was able to tolerate it.
Met probably 30 boards members, many of them for the first time in person.
I will get home tomorrow and take and post pics of the coins I bought.

Charmy has a couple photo's of me which she will post with her show report.

Cheers all. I enjoyed the show, meeting and running into y'all.

    Fun times,

    Enjoying club meetings today and a PCGS lunch. Slowly it seems like coins are getting back into the cases of dealers.

    It is a very sucessful show for buyer and sellers.

    Gold selling off $20 make may impact a few people.
    I seldom check PM's but do check emails often jason@seated.org

    Buying top quality Seated Dimes in Gem BU and Proof.

    Buying great coins - monster eye appeal only.

  • He left out the best part...he ran into me and then we all went to dinner together (sort of) at Vito's Chop house image

    "He left out the best part...he ran into me and then we all went to dinner together (sort of) at Vito's Chop house"

    Yes, it was surprising that he left out the best part. At least I thought he enjoyed himself at the dinner. I know I did (and so did Lauren)

    I don't know why he left you out either Mitch. I know I sure did enjoy talking about coins and the "game" with you and Nick (onlyroosies).image

    Nick is big on that "game" stuff. But, not sure if he actually convinced you to start purchasing modern coins. image

    He left me out too. Perhaps due to Nick (Onlyroosies) making me sit at the other table...

    We ended up with a table of 14 for dinner last night and, unfortunately, the restaurant had to break it into 2 separate tables of 8 and 6 (right next to each other but still tough to interact between the tables). Still a really fun evening capped off with some drinks at my hotel for 5 of us. Look forward to the next one!

    Ooops, I did forget about the Vitos dinner. I think we had a pretty good time and I enjoyed the conversation with everyone. The service and food were not always up to our expectations, but the company made up for it.

    As we were walking int'l the show kryptonotecomics had to run to his car and yelled out loud that he just has to TOSS SOME COINS IN HIS CAR. It was numerous and unexpected!
  • In my defense I arrived at Vito's 2 hours early and had nothing else to do but drink and after 4 beers and a jack and coke I was feeling no pain image
