Hi All,

We are supposed to have a coin show starting this afternoon, in Richfield Ohio

Today might be a bit dicey due to the weather, but it will be nice to have a decent size (~100 tables) show again.

I will have a table under Rocky River Rare Coins

Looks like the hours are: Friday 12:00-6:00, Saturday 10:00 to 6:00 and Sunday 9:00 to 3:00

Stop by if you have a chance

For more info: www.ohiocoin.com (I have no affiliation with them)

Thanks,

Greg

    is this the small show crammed into the hotel where some guy bilks people for 4 or 5.00 at the door?

    The weather is going to kill the show. If it was decent out I'd drive up that way because there's a Toyota Tacoma I wouldn't mind looking at for sale nearby.

    I honestly don't know if I could get out of my driveway at this point.

    Goose, you really hate that admission charge, don't ya? image

    They are advertising 100 dealers in attendance, the room can't be that small. Or maybe they are putting people in the hallway (I've seen that done before).

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    yeah, that drives me nuts.

    now about my driveway, I think it's time for my wife to get out of bed and get to work on it. Her college has even closed for the day so she has nothing better to do.

    I won't be going this time, but yes, it is very cramped in there. Very little space to work behind the tables; if there's 2 people back there, you're tripping over each other when you want to move. It's usually a very busy show but the weather worries me this time. I wish anyone going, a good show... and be safe.

    i think it's a bit more realistic to state 100 tables since i doubt very seriously that there are many more than 50 dealers. most have two tables and some have three.

    The show is going on as we speak. Roads were really bad this morning, but the snow is letting up now.

    Used to be a pretty decent show once upon a time - haven't been since moving to FL ~ yrs ago though image
    I remembered running out of money buying nice early walkers in XF/AU at this show once - coins were turning up that I just hadn't seen anywhere else, and not just at one dealer's table. I don't even see coins like this in quantity at FUN now.
    Is Carat Coin still in business?

    Da-mn! My girlfriend's cousins wrestled for Bedford, and one of my best friends wrestled for Cardinal Stritch, so I used to watch him wrestle Bedford in dual meets. You guys were a Michigan powerhouse for decades!
