This was one of the worst-attended shows I've been to. The room had loading-dock energy and was extremely difficult to find on the third floor of the convention centre. I found nothing to buy but dealer-to-dealer business was strong. Lots of decimal coins and paper money. Anything token or medal-related was quiet. Those who brought the right material for the venue did okay. But the lack of attendance was sad.
The 5 cent vickies, I have most of, but I do not have a 5 cent 1858 large date yet. I could not pay the price the vendor wanted and gave it back. I will wait for the right price and quality.
Yes agreed, there were a lot of bank notes and pre-conferation tokens, but it was too expensive for me.
I agree attendance was poor for a show of that size.
Edit: I was disappointed Gatewest Coin was not there. They were at the
RCNA show in 2013.
Unfortunately there are not too many of us left. I personally know 3 collectors and/or dealers who passed away in the last 5 years. All grey hair fellows.
Edit: Also coin collectors who have left the hobby. I took a long pause from the hobby. I have not given it up yet. I find the hobby relaxing and fun. Coins do not yell back at you, and my blood pressure is lower when I am in the coin collecting hobby, taking new photos, looking for more, and updating my inventory.
