I went early and stayed about an hour. A smaller show, but there were some dealers there that I hadn't ever seen (or a long time ago. Saw Andrew, Jayden, dollarman and Jimmy but found no coins that I needed/wanted.

I on the other hand just got home lol, I went with some stuff to sell/trade since I was anticipating a much larger show but ended up leaving with much more money than I started with. I walked out with a hand full of Coins including 2 very low ball 1953 dollars 1 SF and 1 NSF, a pair of dollars, ICCS 1966 ms 63 and 1967 ms64 both of which are unbelievably nicely toned. And a couple extra pieces that I already forget what they are lol. I was happy to meet okie, jimmyD, slurexe97 and john100 in that order. I really appreciate okies help on a coin and the help from john100. Overall, I won't complain because there is nothing to really complain about. It was a great time and I loved meeting some great people.
Feel free to call me Will.

Mississauga is a little too far of a drive for me, but I DID go to the show in Windsor today.
I was able to buy 44 coins, mostly 50-cent and dollar pieces. Didn't buy any of the "BIG" coins I needed; just picked up commons. Either the choice items were overpriced or a lower quality than I required. I dropped around $180.

It was a pleasure to sort through coins at the same table with okiecoiner and because okie was there I did not have to spend to much time at the show  . Okie thanks again for passing me the 1919 you found. Nice meeting you thedollarman if I can be of any help with large cents please let me know. Jayden we seem to run into each other a lot at the shows good to see you. |

The show was smaller than I expected. I arrived a little later, so I only met thedollarman and john100 there. I had a really interesting chat with john100, learnt a lot of new stuff.

anyone mind me asking what they picked up at the show, I know there was very little selection but hopefully someone got lucky?

I didn't get anything. I'm not one to cherrypick either, at least, not yet.
dollarman, if you don't mind me asking, what's the story on the toonie? I did catch something about a beaded toonie, but I didn't want to interrupt.

I did pick up a copy of the Charlton 2016
Canadian Coins Catalogue and a couple of coins for my
granddaughter. I did not see anything for myself but I
did go mainly to browse.
With free admission and free parking, certainly can't complain.

The beaded toonie you can see it at PCGS# 25126987 have no computer skills to upload pics. There are 5 graded by PCGS as trial pieces or test coins, it's my guess they were struck by Sherrit mint who at the time supplied the RCM for many years planchets for nickels and our loonies. These test toonies were a chance for Sherrit to supply toonie planchets which eventually went to a German company. Edited by john100
