Glad to see space to walk around without elbowing 50 people...
Yes, busy morning!
Show reports please.
I’m glad to see that the show was busy. But there looks to be way too much empty space and too many empty chairs for it to be labeled “Jam packed”.

They had just opened when I took pics believe me it was packed all morning
Good to hear.

Can vouch. Almost didn't get parking in the garage.
Garage was full Friday morning when I arrived. Circled the block once and was able to score street parking next to the hotel. Place was packed today and last night was busy as well. Found a couple nice nationals and one confederate note. Probably going back in the morning
Hmmm .. I was in line at the opening, and walked the floor a couple of times which took me till 3. I thought it was a bit quiet, and later in the day, I asked a few dealers how the show was going for them. Responses were quite positive. Still, I never had to wait behind more than 1 person to see a display case, and I didn't feel any aisle crush that I sometimes get at Bay State. Maybe the aisles are wider in Manchester.
There were stunning inventories of colonial silver and early coppers, and numerous cases of paper currency, foreign and domestic. There was also a LOT of silver in all forms. Common slabbed ASEs were priced from 120 down to 80, so I got a couple of the latter for the grandkids (who aren't yet in kindergarten). I also picked up a roll of 1961 proof Roosevelts for about 15 dollars under spot. I did not see too much modern gold, and I saw only a few cases with 1/10-ounce eagles. I did catch bits and pieces of conversations that lead me to believe that silver is drawing many people to the show who wouldn't otherwise be there. It was good to see dealers patiently explaining rounds, eagles, 90%, sterling, etc.
Finally, many dealers had beautifully arranged and displayed their inventories. Others .... well, it sort of looked like they fill their cases with a snow shovel. But what else is new.

Oh, it was jam-packed all right (the aisles were quite spacious). More so than any Manchester show I can remember. Probably a combination of it being a holiday and no school. And bonus! My bald head is featured in one of those pictures.
In addition to the usual cast of characters there were several national dealers in attendance.

A @rarity7 sighting!

Well that doesn’t narrow down the field very much 😂
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
Some might say a picture would be worth a thousand words 😉
