Not hearing anything from Ottawa on the forum, anyone go, what was it like, well attended? Pick up any coins, auctions, surprised - no chatter.

I was there. It seemed be well attended and dealers I spoke to seemed to be happy.
One dealer was selling stuff for 1/2 off, including some of his world silver, so you could sometimes get stuff for below bullion. You can be assured that I was there.
There was the usual mix of low and high priced junk, low and high priced good stuff, and the mint was selling a 1 Kilogram gold coin for only $69,000 Can. I passed on that one.
The Geoff Bell auction seemed to fetch good prices for most stuff. I won one auction and picked it up at the show. Mr. Bell and his staff were very pleasant to work with.

I was only able to browse for 2-3 hours, but I did find nice things. Among other things, a 1951 quarter with a clash, my first for that year.

I was at the show all day Friday and Saturday. Similar to previous comments, good turn out, dealers seemed very happy, very nice displays for the competition. I was able to pick-up some missing coins an paper money for my collection. Above all, was able to talk with good friends and kudos to volunteer who did a great job, always available to answer question.

I was there from Tuesday until Saturday. I had an exhibit in competition but did not win one of the prizes. The bourse was well attended, particularly on Friday. I collect ancients so there was not much for me. There were 3 dealers who had ancients and they did not have anything I needed. In the end I bought a coin book and digital calipers for measuring my ancient coins.
Overall it was a good show and I will go again.

Good show, great tours, interesting auction, lots of meetings and forums. Well worth the time and expense.

Proof Nut would have to agree. Excellent show. Really enjoyed the RCNA Ottawa Convention. |
