Went to the show and was pleasantly surprised at the number of dealers with (to me) fresh raw stuff. Found a couple things and renewed some old friendships. Saw Mikey after a few years have passed, AgHoarder, Jayden, Houndog and a few dealers from the T.O. shows. Anyone who lives in T.O. or East should try to make one of these. We educated a few dealers on what to look out for, remarking their holders to reflect some varieties and new fakes coming on the market. A good way to spend a Sat morn.

Was nice to finally put a face behind the names. Had coffee with a few gentleman that have a seemingly infinite amount of numismatic knowledge. Also blew my budget for a long while. All in all a very memorable day for myself. Thanks guys.

AgHoarder it was a pleasure! we shocked more than a few dealers. Could have sold fakes more than once. Best part was the dealer who told me he knew the fakes better than me.....then counted out 65.00 to another with me offering for 3 different fake SML's that he didnt need to see 15 minutes earlier. TOO FUNNY. His look was priceless when I walked up and picked up the three fakes. Cruel but maybe now he will be a bit more careful. I was really impressed with Ian from Willow Coins. I will do business with him again. Houndog bill, look after my 42 will you! Bill as always a pleasure!

Had a great day also, seen a lot of old friends and had the opportunity to meet up with AgHoarder, nichelsguy & Okie which is always a pleasure.
This is a great show for those who like to look at raw coins and maybe do a little cherrypicking for varieties.
I never asked how many dealers were present but it seemed like quite a few and well attended also.
All we need now is to convince SPP to set up a table here. I'm sure it would more then pay for itself.

Nichelsguy, I was thinking of maybe getting that 42 pressed into a good luck ring, you know those aluminium rings with a coin in the middle.

Cheers, Bill
