2 Baltimore Coin Convention (summer) questions...

1. Is the Baltimore Museum of Art within walking distance of the coin show?

2. Aside from Dick Osburn what other dealers should be on a list for Capped Bust Quarter window-shopping?

Thank you.

    No... the BMA is near the Hopkins campus and that is a distance from the Convention Center... at least 6-8 miles

    edited to add: the BMA is really worth seeing

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    Yeah, the BMA is hard to get to without a car, but a great museum.
    I say walk to The Walters Art Museum instead! A short .7 mile walk through a safe part of town, and one of my all time favorite collections in the country.

    ...is it an easy taxi ride to the BMA and back from the coin show?

    As of today, I have 18 Capped Bust Quarters in stock (viewable on the website). I'll be at table #1600, stop by and say hello!

    The Aquarium is a good place to visit within walking distance, but get there as soon as they open because they get crowded as the day goes on. Also Camden Yards is within walking distance, get your tix now as the Yankees are in town.

    The Walters and BMA are both outstanding.

    I don't think JHU is as far as 6-8 miles from the convention center. Google maps shows a highway route of 4.8 miles, but if you were to walk (and that, of course, could be a stupidly dangerous idea) it's a decent amount shorter.

    I suppose if I wanted to go I'd just call my dad and ask for a ride to his office image

    I'm surprised no one's mentioned Jade Rare Coins for Bust Quarters - where's Tassa when you need her?

    Plenty of taxis at the convention center. Coming back you will probably have to call for one though.
