Stuff I got at the Santa Clara show

My trips to the Santa Clara show today were short. I was able to get off of work between 11am and 1pm. I met a few fellow board members and chatted for a bit. But I was a little bummed that my primary goal...finding Wiener Cathedral Medals...was just not going to happen this year.

After work, at 5:30, I travelled back to the show. Unfortunately, many folks were already packing up by the time I got there. Went by a few dealers looking for world gold, but saw nothing I liked until I happened across a little piece from Argentina.

No coin show is complete without at least some booty. Here is a little bit. Sorry, it's generally not US Type coin stuff. So I guess this post is in the wrong forum.

Some tokens:

Some medals:

A bit of gold from Argentina. Lots of chatter, lots of die polish.

Nice meeting you today, It was way dead by 5:30.....

You have a piece of gold that I want. That was one reason I went back to the show. No matter, I will be attending other days! Today was just an appetizer.

Well, you see, although I left my work at 5:30pm, it was dark. And I got off one exit early on Montague. And it's not like there is a familiar landmark out there. Most buildings look pretty much the same.
Before long, I realized what I had done and turned north onto 1st Street to try to correct my mistake. I felt like I was getting more and more lost but eventually the Hyatt appeared in front of me.
It took a while but I eventually got there. I probably arrived close to 6:30pm. That's normally a 10 minute drive. But mistakes + traffic jam = delays.
I don't know if I can get tomorrow off at all, but i'll be there Saturday for sure!
You seemed quite busy at the show!

Also, extremely DEEP relief on that Mexican medal! Awesome! There were two medals of this sort available, so I got to choose the one with the better devices.

No evidence of rub.... yet.
