Folks were overflowing downstairs waiting for the doors to open. Over 600 came in immediately at opening, I cannot remember a show with the aisles packed w/public in decades. Waiting for a dealer's report,

I agree - all afternoon, I was constantly walking sideways to get down the crowded aisles. Sometimes, I had to go back to certain dealers' tables three or four times before there was a chair available.

Nice talking to you today. Always nice to put a face with the forum name.
always good to hear that a show is busy and dealers are doing well!!!
HAPPY COLLECTING
Reports of the hobbies' death have been greatly exaggerated.

Any 1982 cents come by you yet?
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
Thank you for the report
Well now, I guess the sky is not falling after all.
Didn't think so.

This is good, NO?

While I know many of you deal in/collect coins that are not bullion
related i.e 16-D Merc., 89-CC Morgan, I'm curious if the recent spike
in PM's has helped the overall mood at the show.
Standing room only at the coin auction when I walked by.
Good to hear there are many attendees.... Hope to see a lot of reports. It would be interesting if someone includes comments on bullion movement... Cheers, RickO
Glad to hear that things are busy and there are so many people! Would be great to have some photos of the crowds.
Some of the pieces I'm following are edging higher and I'm curious to see where they end up.
Thanks I2. Hope you meet many forum members. Great to hear a positive report.

A lot more scooters than previous shows but then again it's Florida.
that's always good to hear
Probably the same crowd but 20 years older.
The show is white hot nuclear. The mood is very positive. There's been a steady stream of people at the table, and they're BUYING! Best show I've had since the spring ANA show here in Orlando 2 or 3 years ago. I'm very, very pleased.
It is nice to see some happy news and positivity in this hobby for a change.
Yes, I agree with all of the comments. Several of the dealers I talked to have said they've had their best FUN show in years. The crowd finally started to wind down late this afternoon but it was still very crowded until about 3:00 or so. Heck, even the talk I gave this morning at the early hour of 8:00 am had 25 people show up (even without any free food!).

Mostly blue hairs? lol
The whole worlds off its rocker, buy Gold™.
Cannot answer that. I only look at the ladies.
Hi Insider, what were the most interesting people and coins you interacted with so far? Are you having greater success getting some of your numismatic knowledge across easier in person than online?
I'll reply later. I'm going for drinks
with the CU guys.
Noticed strength in the Morgan listings today.
(ie got outbid on everything)
I went specifically looking for gold billion. Brought mid 5 figures cash. Didn't spend a dime.
Asking prices. Percentages over spot was not to my liking.
