This Show was great, lots of dealers, so much cool history, It was awesome. Even get to see a mint error half cent worth $250,000 up close. Most expensive coin I ever held.

Anyone also go to the show

    Nice seeing all of the coin pictures - highly doubt that the half cent error would find a buyer for 250K (or even a fifth of that).

    Yea fair point. I don’t really know much about mint error anyway, still a vary cool coin.

    Nice coins! I was there as well. Didn’t buy anything, nor was I really planning to.

    This is a nice sized show. About half slabs and half raw. A few world coin dealers and two with ancients. The usual bullion guy was there, he was doing business but no long lines or anything special obviously going on while I was there.

    Pretty much everyone was wearing masks. A few people were wearing them over their chin rather than covering their face.🙄

    I saw an 1801 Eagle in NGC F15 I briefly considered before remembering that I shouldn’t buy something that far out of my knowledge base without more research. Also saw a PCGS MS65 1921 Peace Dollar asking $6400. Nice coin but not for me at that price.

    Northeast Numismatics was handing out flyers that said Help! Coin Shortage! or something to that effect. I saw a couple collectors offering coins to dealers but it was very modest stuff.

    @savitale, saw those coins too 👍. It’s such a great show, I think the guy who I bought/ traded gold for had the 1801 eagle 👍👍. He did have an Ms 64 1810 half eagle

    Great new gold @markelman1125! Did you trade in your other Saint towards the new pieces?

    Additional comment certain bullion dealers were selling at 20-24 x face for silver sat afternoon we ran a deal just for fun $100 bags at 17.95x and absolutely no interest from the public.

    Who is the dealer with the elipitical cent? Seems like he has a large selection of error coins of all types.

    Interesting. Last month at the Melbourne FL show, silver was flying out the door, including bars, rolls of Eagles, and junk Morgan dollars. At today's show, very little demand. Morgan dollars by date, and especially CC's, were the hot ticket. A wholesaler from the national circuit was walking the floor, and had acquired two dozen and was looking for more. I heard several remarks at tables that fielded queries for CC dollars, and they said they were sold out. The only ones I saw were either low grade, problem coins, or ones priced at moon money.

    Does he have any online presence? I see a few interesting coins in his case....
