I will likely be there either Friday or Saturday.

CIVITAS · October 15, 2008 2:01AM

We'll have a table there.

I would have been at the show if airfare from SFO, SJC, or OAK was cheaper than the $535 for a roundtrip. Compare that to the $276 to go to St. Louis during the same time.

MOON? Is that the Minnesota Order of Ornery Numismatists?

nccoin · October 15, 2008 3:28AM

I'll be there Sunday morning. Hopefully there will be a few cents left to cherry pick!

Sorry wrong kinda Moon.

Heck of a place to have a show...

Geoman · October 16, 2008 2:23AM

I'll be there Friday - Sunday, helping out another dealer behind his table. Stop by and introduce yourself - I'll be working with Dakota Coins and my nametag will say Bill. We will be wearing the big bright yellow shirts.

Greg Allen Coins (ie: foodude) also sets up at this show. I believe it is advertised as a 118 table show.

Stopped by today, saw foodude and Civitas. Sold some medals for a fair price and bought a few Conder tokens, including a very nice one from Civitas (thanks again Josh)!

Didn't seem very busy today, some discussions overheard on the state of the economy and what it means for dealers and collectors. A number of dealers expressed reluctance to purchasing gold or silver "bullion" coins unless they could immediately flip 'em or sell them to the smelters.

Certainly not the usual "buzz".

I was there today, and will be there Sat. and Sun. as well- Table 104 I think.

MJH · October 19, 2008 11:47AM

SOLD SOME BUFFALO NICKELS AND A 1928 AU 53 PEACE DOLLAR

DID NOT FIND EITHER.
ALSO LOOKING FOR A FEW PCGS BUFFALOS TO COMPLETE MY REGISTRY SET , CAME UP EMPTY.

I went on Friday when it opened. Sold off some modern proof sets, a complete set of "BU" Franklins I bought about 15 years ago when I was dumb (before I knew what a slider was), as well as a Walker "BU" short set. To be honest, some of them had toned beautifully. I didn't take a bath, but I didn't realize much for holding them that long, other than learning from them over the years.

I did come away with an 1817 CBH in AU50 that was in the case as a common coin. The comet head had me looking at the reverse hoping for the single leaf and there it was. Old dip, retoning with a few more hairlines than I would like, but pushing AU55 details. It was a nice upgrade for me.
