Bay State Coin Show (Now In Marlborough, Massachusetts)

Last month the NH Coin Expo ran only two days instead of three.
Some reasons:
Dealers who have traveled a long distance want to pack up and leave for home. Another
is competition from local coin shows which run only on Sundays. Some dealers are committed to do a Sunday show.
Families with kids are likely to come on Saturday, especially if there is a kids seminar being held.
I am about a 2 1/2 drive away, coming from New Haven, CT. Would make for a L O N G day for me.
I'll keep it in mind.

So... did anyone go today?

I'll be there about noon tomorrow!

Fun day, just 45 mins away, well worth the trip! Went shopping specifically for a 1837 no stars Half Dime and a roman coin from the London mint - but... Got lost right away after getting my pink wrist band at a vendor table with case after case of awesome raw copper. Upgraded my 7070 with an 1803 (sm date/sm fraction) cent and an 1851 Half Cent, two holes I had been happy with til I saw his offerings! After almost an hour at three different dealers selling ancients I left with no coin, but quite an education. Picked up a new 1853 Half Dime for no apparent reason, two Peace dollars and a Morgan for the kid's type sets, a '48 Franklin with a sharp and strong reverse strike, and a '21 Morgan with some crazy die cracks. All purchases were raw coins. Some observations: 1. Give the buyers a flippin' map with the dealer's names and maybe what they specialize in. 2. The venue was way too small for the numbers of dealers they crammed into it. 3. The Barber and Seated Lib clubs had a table stuck in a side room behind a soda machine, unfortunately. 4. Lots of slobbed coin and bullion vendors. 6. Six dollars admission? For what, exactly? 7. Heard more than one dealer complain of slow sales to the public, that most coins were just shuffling between dealers. 8. Because you wrote "net" on your 2x2 you won't take $190 for your $210 coin? That's a pretty poor business model, buddy. I mean, really, if you've had it long enough for the staples to rust, maybe it's time to reconsider your price.
