Went to the Manchester show this past weekend and I have to say it was way bigger than I have ever seen. There was so much variety from your standard U.S. type coins to shipwreck, ancient’s, and foreign. It was a blast. I was especially exited to find a table specializing in U.S. shipwreck gold, and gold rush coins. Anyway it was a fantastic show and I definitely look forward to the next!!!!

Also Need to add photos!

The Floor

The U.S. Shipwreck Gold. Ended up trading for an 1857-s MS63 PCGS SS Central America $20 coin!


More Ancients and shipwreck coins!

    Nice show report. I love to hold coins with my own hands... even better when they're unholdered.

    Glad to hear the show was a success. I had prior commitments so unfortunately wasn’t able to make it. I’m looking forward to the December show!

    Not a local show it’s truly become a B+ Regional show

    I rate National shows as A range
    Large Local shows are C
    And tiny 4-6 dealer shows as D range

    I had a great time -- but clearly not as good a time as you. What dealer had that $50 slug? I'd have liked to have seen that.

    Oh - that $50 Humbert slug - did it sell? It's in a F15 so maybe actually a trace of affordability. I have "NH" right in my name and am sad to have missed this show, if anyone knows about the $50 give a yell.

    He has more on his website though not of the same type I held. 2.5oz of gold. The history and the shear size of those is so cool. You can really feel the weight. I would like to have one someday.

    Thanks guys, I have been searching for one of these forever, the F15 caught my eye because that might be the most affordable one short of a mangled up details slug. Unfortunately it's not listed on the site, will keep checking back.
