Took a short trip to Long Beach Coin Show.

Arrived around 3pm and the place was very slow. I wasn't looking anything particular so I browsed around for few hours. One thing that I noticed was that the availability of bullion was very low. Most had signs that they are buying.

Here are some pics ~~

They are fantastic coins, although I wasn't too familiar with foreign coins. Lots of gold

Couple photos that I took were blurry

Looks like a big place. I keep away from shows like that. Some time ago I looked into what those dealers pay for a spot. Some tables rent in the thousands. Dealers come from far away and have to stay at motels or hotels. With food, travel expenses and those table prices, lots of output of money. All paid for with coin sales. Now think of how much more they charge per coin.

There are some big time dealers near front entrance where they bring hundreds of thousands of dollars worth items and deal in huge sum of money.

Once I saw a man who brought PCGS box full of gold double eagles and another box full of expensive coins to sell. I'm sure it was around $50,000 worth coins. For these guys, I'm sure expenses are fully covered.

Then there are small 10ft x 10ft sellers in the back who would have to charge higher premium to offset expenses.

I like this coin show because there are few fantastic dealers who come with wealth of knowledge and thousands (if not tens of thousands) of coins. If you need a particular coin, then most likely, they would have it.

Also, you get to see all types of expensive coins. One of my favorite is Panama-Pacific Octagonal $50 gold piece

I miss being able to go to that show. I shared a table there in the mid-70's.
