It was nice to finally go to a coin show, what an itch to scratch. I arrived around 9:30, parked (very easy, good spot), went up and in a dew shot steps I was there. I expected a line (so I bought ticket online) but there was no line and I went right in. I wanted to buy a few Barber halves to finish the set (no success) and buy some cheap and fun stuff for eBay (successful). At one table I bought six ACG Silver Ike $ (I know,but for $10 a piece I could not pass). Overall, with few exceptions, the prices seemed rather high and I think the dealer have trouble refilling the inventories. I stopped by SLCC and showed them my collection and one of the people there took some pictures of my coin for die research.
The people counter never went above 250 people, the tables were nicely spaced out, there were sanitization stations. Some dealers were super happy "it was the best coin show I have ever had". There were some nice coins and a lot of cheap stuff. Looks like dealers had some time to clean up and organize over the last six months and were parting with a lot of odds and ends. When I talked to Ernie (who did not shave since the outbreak) he said he cleaned out the his safe and found stuff he kept there some 2005. I have a feeling that many dealers made similar housekeeping moves. I have not seen so much random bicentennial stuff before. I left after noon and some of dealers were packing already. I never validated the parking but when I was leaving the garage I got a discount anyway. Try parking any other city for $6 for half the day.
I bought this from Ernie and it will go eBay eventually - once I find box to fit it. It's probably close to 80-90 year old coin album and it's 14" x 9" - enjoy!!!!

Man to have come across that album back in the day, filled with nice glossy large cents!
Thanks for the report, and that's a cool old album.
SLCC = LSCC ?

Thanks for the report. Great to see shows starting up again.... even with the controls. Nice old album. Cheers, RickO
Nice report
That's a great album!
I was hoping it was going to be filled with coins!
I'm hoping someone will do it
I wonder if this is Arthur Lathrop Zerbey (1895 - 1987):

I have a large Wayte Raymond coin album and a few others. I gotta say I love mine. They are also sought after by many.
The one you’re showing is way cool. Thanks for sharing 👍
Different times... 13 years older than his wife and she had his first kid at 15.
"It's like God, Family, Country, except Sticker, Plastic, Coin."
I found another person by that name and he would have been 14 in 1939, the patent for this album dates to 1927 so the timeline fits better.
@sadysta1 I was at the show yesterday as well, it was quite Awsome and there were lots of cool coins.
Thanks for the report.
It might be his father. If he were born in 1895 he would have turned 14 in 1909. That is too early for Wayte Raymond albums. However, Wayte Ramond albums would have been very much available by the 1930's when his son might have turned 14.
