Parkersburg Coin Club Show Report Marietta OH

This was my first time setting up at this show. I had a great time, made some new friends, was able to buy and sell.......what more could I ask for?


The two things that I was most impressed with was the amount of public and the number of children.


I started off on a bad foot, I forgot my power cord for my laptop, my lights, one of my showcases and half of my inventory. My feelings of self disgust were soon replaced by the warm welcome of the show chairman. Everyone I talked to was overall pleased with the amount of traffic, most everyone was pleased with the volume of sales.

Here are some photos......












Edited to add: I was able to help out a forum member with a photo using my Dino-Lite Micrscope..




I spent some time with the Boy Scouts showing them the 1995 Doubled Die Lincoln Cent and 2005 extra finger Lincoln Cents on my Dino-Lite.

I let them know that it is possible to find these coins in circulation, the banks have rolls and rolls of Cents just waiting to be searched. You should have seen their eyes widen when I answered the what are they worth question.....
