Got there for Day One, but skipped the Reading Terminal Market (I can go there any time I want, on foot!). If you want to see what I got, though, you have to venture into the US Paper Money forum.
Tried to have a plan, but found myself looking through piles of Hard Times Tokens, of all things! Maybe I'll wander in again on Saturday...

What's a plan? I'm rolling in guns blazing and hitting every junk bin I can.

Quick trip report: Just got home. Show was underwhelming. Sold a few odds and ends and put some money in my pocket. Bought 3 things and spent a total of $51. WAY too many investment grade/high end coins for my tastes.

So sorry! There seemed to be flocks of New Jersey coppers, and I thought of you.

I ended up meeting up with a bunch of EAC/C4 folks that I know. I saw 3 folks from one of my local clubs, a local dealer (who wrote a book on NJ coppers), and a local fellow detectorist. I did enjoy myself and lunch at RTM is always a plus! I had gone there with a budget of about $700-800 so only spending $50 was disappointing. I came really close to buying 2 different low grade 1793 wreath cents but in the end I couldnt pull the trigger on either. Almost bought a really nice 1794 Half Cent but a dealer friend pointed out a flaw that had not noticed which killed the deal for me.

Agree with the show being underwhelming. Was hoping to find a real nice 64DM Morgan, but came away nearly empty handed. Still spent about $100, but sold $1200 worth of coins, sooo...
