  If you are coming this weekend, there is a small show in Leesburg, VA on Friday and Saturday.

  I firmly believe in numismatics as the world's greatest hobby, but recognize that this is a luxury and without collectors, we can all spend/melt our collections/inventories.

  How far is Leesburg from Burke, VA?

  Coming from Burke VA s/b easy. I'm coming from Vienna VA and its simply 66 E/495 towards Tysons'/Dulles Toll Road - Greenway, and it is pretty much off the last exit on the Greenway. Took me a bit more than 1/2 hour when I went to the summer show.
  
  My question is will the dealers show up the day after thanksgiving? If you're a dealer and have family obligations it seems the timing is less than optimal.

  Even coin-folk need a "Black Friday". If Wal-Mart can have Black-Friday sales on $1000 computers for $200, maybe Julian will mark down a few of his 1G coins to $200

  Not so quick. Think of my product like the new playstation; the one that they stood out for several nights before and are now selling on Ebay for 3x what they paid for.
