Quick Baystate Show report
1630Boston

Spent about 45 minutes at the show [some of us have to work for a living]. 
The show seemed well attended by both dealers and the public.
My friend Walther attended with me which was reassuring since "security" appeared to be unarmed.
Colonial coinage was 'non existent'.
A lot of dealer to dealer transactions seemed to be occurring.
Spent most of the time with Tom and Brian from Northeast @nencoin .
Met Jon @ScarsdaleCoin , he had a nice spread of coins and candy and was very personable.
Would like to have stayed longer.

Nice to meet you 1630 rest assured security is actually very good. Undercover officers are heavily armed!!! Plus with all the firepower from the dealers I believe we could arm a third world nation.
Thanks Jon @ScarsdaleCoin
You had some nice coins and it appeared that you had interested customers at your tables.
Again, nice to see a face to associate with a forum member.

cool
Have been going to the Bay State show for years now. It's always been a good show. Not like the old days in Boston though, but the parking is free and the show is easier to get to. The bourse had a good selection of material.
Lots of shows recently in the northeast. It would be interesting to hear how much the dealers are making and whether they can cover their expenses and turn a profit.
Nice report and the picture shows a really nice venue. As far as security, Massachusetts is a very unfriendly gun state.... caution to non-state dealers.... Cheers, RickO
