Cool, see a couple lots I will bid on, too bad about so many high start prices on some of the Canadian coins, probably see a lot of unsold lots.

I was going to get there Fri morn, spend the night, and then leave Sat PM. I don't think that I'm going to stay now. Everyone should stop by to see SPP (in the room to the right as you go in the door.)

Unfortunately, due to conflicts that I have with other commitments, this will be the first Coin Expo that I will have to miss. That means my bodyguard (the twoonie man) will be missing it also... Remember, coins are my hobby, and not my career... apologies to all in advance who were planning to visit me at the show. I _will_ be there at the spring show for sure. That said, I would still encourage everyone close to the GTA to attend this show. It has a strong dealer attendance, and an awesome atmosphere for collectors. In my opinion, it is one of the best shows in Canada. Jared, I hope you have a superb show!! The 1967 medal presentation is one I would have loved to have seen!!

I went through the both days catalogues and found quite a lot of VERY high starting prices... maybe, I'm just cheap but I would think if they want to sell their coins at auction, I would think they would start their prices a bit lower. Good luck to those that want to bid. Edited by SHAFTA9a

Looks like I can sign in with Facebook and send a cheque for payment! I am on a tight budget but I may have to try to bid on some of the lower value novelty lots.

Press Release - September 24, 2015 Bank of Montreal Half Penny Can Sell For $40,000+ at Auction Toronto - Rare Canadian Banking Tokens, spanning 175+ years, anchors Toronto coin auction by Geoffrey Bell Auctions at the Toronto Coin Expo Oct 1-2-3, 2015. Historic Canadian Bank Tokens and Banknotes will be auctioned off by Geoffrey Bell Auctions in Toronto. The highlight is the coveted 1845 "front view" Bank of Montreal half penny token (est. $40,000+), the only one outside of museum collections of just four known to exist. With distinguished provenance, this red and brown copper proof is sure to take top honours in the auction. The auction's nearly 900 lots are punctuated by several fresh-to-market collections from around the globe. Geoffrey Bell Auctions is pleased to be featuring the Richard Cooper Collection, boasting of one of the largest private collections of the Bank of Montreal side-view pennies. These "side views" can sell in excess of $15,000, and the Cooper group includes the finest examples to be sold in Canada. Not to be outdone by the tokens and coins, a number of very rare chartered Canadian banknotes will be offered. A Bank of Nova Scotia (Jamaica branch) one pound note dated 1900, 1 of only 2 known, is estimated at $10,000+. As well, an 1872 Niagara Bank $5.00, the only one in private hands, has the possibility of selling for $25,000+. To conclude this outstanding auction, there is a dazzling array of medals and decimal coins, enough to satisfy the most discriminating collector. These rare items and many other rare coins, tokens and banknotes will be available for viewing at the Toronto Coin Expo prior to the Geoffrey Bell Auction October 1-3, 2015 at the Toronto Reference Library, located at 789 Yonge Street. The Toronto Coin Expo is Canada's premier coin & banknote show & auction. Hosting world renowned coin and banknote dealers.

I'll be there Saturday. I wanted to come on Friday too (my classes end at 2 on Fridays) but I have a conflict with the aviation club event, and it's one I really don't want to miss.
We didn't see each other in the Mississauga show dollarman, I'll be looking forward to meeting you in the Expo.
