I'll be wearing black, and trying to hide from some crazy old guy wearing a red or orange shirt... and also hiding from another crazy old guy who mutters nonstop about twoonies...

Ill be one of the few Asian dealers at the show, and will be sharing the table with the OTHER Asian dealer at the show. Ill give you the task of figuring out which one is which since we apparently all look alike =D

 KingGeorge, hope to see you there, keep an eye out for me, i'd be glad to talk and help you out any way I can, being a newer collector at such a big show could be overwhelming..i remember the first time I went to a large show. and you'll like Wizard1's table..he is great when it comes to bills/notes. Feel free to call me Will.

Hi DollarMan. I will definitely keep an eye out for your Chicago hoodie :) It seems like half of this hobby is talk to and learning from people who have been collecting for a longer time. Thanks!

I can't make it. I will be listening to the live auction though.
It was hard to budget my money for this one (too many amazing things) but I have two items in round 2 I will be bidding up (if not winning).
SPP, your talk sounds very interesting. Any plans on recording it for Youtube? I don't quiet have an eye yet for discerning 65s from 67s. I imagine your nickel dollars will be used as teaching aids?

Looks like I will be there as well, not sure how much I can afford to buy... but it will be fun to see whats available at what price. Jeans and a Blue T-Shirt that says Underwood 2016.

I had a great time Friday. It was sooooooooooooo nice not being stuck behind a table at Coin Expo. Breakfast with two old friends (Bill and Gene) and then I got to chat with a bunch of dealers and collectors, met some new faces, hunted down a few errors, and got to examine, one by one, the Edward and George V 50-cents of the Perth Collection. Imagine, holding a lovely toned 1931 half in your hands.... graded PCGS MS-68!  Also enjoyed a nice pub lunch with Bob and Henry from the RCNA and met Kevin (editor of Numis-notes). Not having a table and acting like a dealer, brought the joy back to me why I love coin shows...

The story on the grading of that 31 was the best. PCGS at first would not grade it as a business strike because it was too perfect. You can easily understand how the Mint Masters of the past could have special privileges when requesting a few of the fresh strikes way back in the 30's,.. and possibly still today.. ..and as the owner said, these were probably rare presentation coins (in holders) to select visiting guests or dignitaries.. Thank goodness that some have survived in such preserved pristine condition.. |
