Wow, it's the first I heard of it. New Bedford is right next door too! Maybe I'll throw my oldest son into the car and check it out.

Well it wasn't a very big show and really no world coins that I could find. I did have fun running into a friend and we talked about our purchases over the last few months. On the drive home I stopped by to see James Johnston in Franklin and bought a 1643 Christina Swedish 1/2 riksdaler from him. He purchased it from Dmitry Markov several years ago and it is a nice AU with luster. So I still came home with a big smile.

I must have missed you. You would have noticed my very inquisitive 5 year-old poking around.

There were a couple of guys from northern New Hampshire that had world coins, just not on display. They were the last table on the outside if you were walking counter-clockwise. I managed to pull an AU 1889 Ethiopian 1/32 Birr from their 1/2 off bin for $5 and a VF 1939/6 Iceland 10 Aurar for $2.50.

I also found an UNC 1906 IHC for $20. I'll post pics when I find time.

Oh, I also picked up a 1715 Swedish emergency Daler and some more pedestrian stuff that fit some sets that I've been working on.

I'm glad you found some nice buys! I did stop at their table and looked over their colonials.
