If I had any concern that the planet would run out of coins before I was able to add some that interest me, I think my concerns are unfounded. I've never seen so many coins in my life (my first FUN). There are things I learned:
1. My collection of mostly VF and EF should be hidden and never shown again! :) Seriously, there are some beautiful coins at the show.
2. It takes time to find what you want. I simply did a walk by for 2 1/2 hours today (had to work until mid afternoon). Had I been buying today, I might have had a chance to do enough research if I'd planned 8 hours.
3. Dealers were really friendly and helpful.
4. I didn't know what kind of attendance to expect but I was surprised at how few potential buyers there appeared to be. Maybe because it was Thursday.

Wow...it sounds like a great show! I wish I lived somewhere remotely near. Did you happen to see the display of pattern cents at Rick Snow's table? That would be something to see!  |

I only saw about 1/4th of the displays in the time I had. I am looking forward to that and will see it tomorrow or on the weekend.

Looks like it was a cool place to find coins! Does the 1804 have a rim break over the RTY in LIBERTY?

No, it's just looks like it because of the scan.

Possibly die state I or II then, depending whether there's clash marks under the chin. |

You should see the coins at the International Coin Shows at the Rosemont, Illinois Convention Center. At the last one I thought I'd get blinded by so much claring Gold or Platinum. Just tons and tons of coins I would think no one could afford.
