I'm at the Expo today. Had not expected it to be this large. Lots of visitors and dealers, although not every table is taken.
Decided on a zig-zag pattern to cover the entire floor. Made an occasional chat with dealers if I saw something I liked, although the majority of coins were Morgans and Bullion. Not as many world coins as I had hoped for. So, I only got to buy three coins from the Netherlands.
Most dealers seemed friendly, but I encountered one who seemed more like a used car dealer. I tried to negotiate on one of his coins, but he didn't budge. Suffice to say, I walked away. I refuse to pay a 60-100% markup.
The best things about the expo however is the exhibition of the Tyrant Collection. Absolutely fantastic and gorgeous coins. World class.
