    The show is sponsored by a coin club (The Gorham Coin Club), and as such we try to keep it devoted entirely to numismatics. I doubt there will be any stamps there.

    Still a few tables left at this show next Sunday. If you are in northern New England, why not stop by?

    Just a quick reminder of the Portland, Maine show on Sunday. And to address a few issues brought up in another thread, there is plenty of free parking, there is no admission charge, and the venue is located right at the Turnpike Exit 48, with plenty of restaurants and hotel/motels nearby.

    Well, I'm off to run the show. I hope to see many of you there. And who knows, perhaps if someone finds something nice, either Barndog, Chumley, Onelinx, Yellowkid, Thisisthestran...., or Mainejim will write up a coin show report.
