Broke my ankle 3 days ago I told you , you are getting too old to chase the wife around, besides she can run and you can only hop. Take it easy and get well.

My U.S. change that I've accumulated will be dumped in Coinstar and added to my wife's Starbucks card. Gotta make her happy so she doesn't mind when I disappear for most of the week! BTW, if anyone attending wants to trade some coins with me, let me know. I'm looking for most 2023 and 2024 circulating US coins.  |

I was at the show last Friday. Found it a bit disappointing. Only was able to buy one coin from a list of dozens.
Bourse area seemed quietish. One dealer mentioned the deals and excitement happen earlier in the week.
All in all, I spend waaay to much on getting there and attending, rather than actually buying coins. I won't be back.

NumisEd, I was a little disappointed myself, hoped I'd been able to buy more. I did get several coins and the trip was worth it for me. I was able to get very affordable airfare and the hotel across the street had decent rates for the one night I stayed. My expenses weren't bad, roundtrip airfare, hotel, Uber x2, admission x 2 days, total ~400 bucks. I would also recommend going the 1st (and 2nd) day the show is open to the public, perhaps you'd see better deals.

I stayed two days and spend around $1,000 total.
In addition to the coin show on Friday, I went to see a marionette opera (operainfocus.com) on Saturday afternoon, and friends later that evening.
