The Spring Gettysburg Show was this weekend April 2-4, 2026 and went well. The attendance was great and sales were very good for all dealers. Joe, an Ancient Coin Dealer, said that he sold more than he ever has, to include the FUN Show. The last person to sign into the show spent $22k. Everything from junk foreign to better date gold was selling.
.
The National Fly Fishing Lure Club was in the other ballroom. Those guys were selling a lot of vintage fishing "stuff!" I didn't know such a club existed.
.
We had no security problems at this show.
.
I bought very little and nothing to write about except a raw broadstruck Washington quarter.
.
Food....same old hotel food as usual.
.
I met several boardmembers! And...thank you for introducing yourselves!!
.
We had a new couple set up with me selling coins for the first time. Both enjoyed being on the dealer side of the table and are planning to return as dealers again in September. The next show is September 10-12, 2026.

Thanks for your report.
Very positive news.
Sounds like it was a good show.
I was at the show and bought a few things for my type set collection. I posted it in another thread . . .

I was one to introduce myself. I enjoyed chatting with you. Thanks for introducing me to a couple dealers you though might help in the pursuit of half dimes...
I did pick up one coin. It's an 1842 V-4 half dime - a very pretty AU upgrade to my VF from the Crain collection. I'm away from camera until Monday night.
