Quick ANA show report

Due to a leg and back injury over Memorial Day weekend my time walking around was limited to about 2 hours. When I was no longer able to walk (I did take advantage of the open dealer spots to sit and take breaks) I came to the conclusion that I was really glad I attended. The Tyrant Collection was amazing. I will add a few pictures below. Way too many coins to picture. I only took a few photos of coins I found related to what I collect. The DE Saint at GC was worth seeing in person and Witter had a nice DE Saint as well.
Dealers had top quality coins on display. Legends, Witter, Doug Winter, Mike's Coin Chest, Minshull, GC were all tables I made sure to visit. I have a hard time looking at a coin for just 10 mins and then handing over thousands of dollars so I came home empty handed. I will check in with those dealers after the show to see if the things I viewed have sold. It was nice to check in with these dealers as all my business with them has been over the internet.
I didn't write everything down so my numbers may be a bit off. Graded MS69 ASE's were marked $55 and MS70's for $75 at several dealer tables. I was looking to fill in a few dates going back to 2015 but that seemed high. I wasn't a strong buyer so I did not bother to ask how firm things were. I also had no interest in handling things that so many others may have touched. One dealer had stacks of raw Liberty's. All denominations. That was cool to see. How I would love to walk up and buy a roll of DE Libs in AU or MS. Even a roll of Eagle Libs would be fun.
Here are a few Tyrant collection photos. All are probably available in TV but I was more after just a slab shot.

Sounds like you had a nice time.
What does 'DE' stand for ? Dented edge ?
Sorry, Double Eagles (DE). Witter had a $3 Million Saint on display, Great Collections had the 1933 that just sold for $19 Million and then the coins of the Tyrant collection were just outstanding. I am a small timer staying under $10,000. Many here can visit their SDB and see high level coins. This show made those available to me.

Maybe it was due to the drop in silver prices but I did expect to see a lot more 90% silver out. I saw only a few dealers with it visible. I was a bit rushed as I made my way to the economy section of the show.

I’m going to guess, that like FUN, many people (buyers and sellers) are traveling long distances and don’t want to be carrying so much bulky material. Also the expensive table space is probably better used for higher margin coins.
@pcgscacgold... Thanks for the report and the pictures .... Truly remarkable coins. Sounds like you had fun and it is a great show. Cheers, RickO
Another great report.
