PNNA show

rickoricko Posts: 98,721 ✭✭✭✭✭
Spent some hours at the PNNA show today.... very well attended.. Russ did make it today. He did not make it yesterday (work, not phone calls). Looked high and low for an 1876 CC seated dime.... found some, but poor quality. No cathedral medals. Dealers at the table did seem to be overly solicitous.. very friendly, constantly offering to help, asking what you were looking for, quickly bringing out material not on display. Lighting left a lot to be desired. No food - so bad food was not an issue. Did get to see a really nice chain cent and a few other rarities. Overall, a good show, although I did not buy anything. As Russ said, better than spending the day at work. image Cheers, RickO

    I went on Friday.
    It's definitely the biggest and best show in our area.
    I agree that the majority of dealers did seem especially eager to help.
    Hardly any true rainbow toners to be had, and the couple that were around were priced sky high.
    Dr. Eugene Bruder had the best stuff...cases of eye appealing type coins.
    I ended up NOT buying anything because I'm hoping to grab a couple of coins off Ebay tonight.
    My friend picked up a nice undergraded MS62 Pan-Pac commem half in an old fattie NGC slab.
    All in all a fun time.

    Rick forgot to mention that he caused my blood pressure to rise, and my heart to palpitate. image

    I was chatting with a guy today who buys from Marty on eBay. Sure is a small world!

    Russ, NCNE

    Oh yes.... While perusing various tables, I thought I saw a raw 'birthmark' Kennedy... so quickly chased down Russ. His eyes bulged and he moved faster than a cat on a salmon. Well, it turned out, I was wrong... it was actually a 'spot' of some sort in almost the right place... but sure got Russ a-breathing hard. image Cheers, RickO

    Thanks for the report. I like reading about different coin shows. Sad that you couldn't find anything to buy. image I'm going to a very small local show tomorrow and it's possible I'll come home empty-handed too.
