It was HUGE! Dealers whom I have never met before. When asked if they attend Long Beach their answer was "No". They follow the ANA show and thank goodness. I hit it off with three dealers that I have never met and got some great coins at great prices! Overall, great show! Tired! swcoin.ecrater.com

Our local coin club is getting together with the coin club 70 miles south of us and we have rented a bus and 25 of us are headed down on Saturday. I can't wait, I love big coin shows.

Just arrived back home after the show. WOW! I saw some incredible coins, met some really interesting dealers that specialize in the coins I collect and even added a couple new coins to the collection. Anyone having a chance to attend a big ANA show should make the effort to go. |

I have just walked in the door from the best coin show I have ever been too, and boy my feet still hurt! One of the surprises I had was the $100,000 US bill. They didn't have one, what they had was a full sheet of 12 ($1,200,000) and another sheet showing the back. In addition. they had full sheets of the $10,000, $1000 and $500 bills. The Smithsonian Exhibit was just outstanding. The highlight of the show, for me, was the 1787 Brasher Doubloon which has been described as "the single most important coin in American numismatics" . If you have never been to a ANA show, I would advise you to make the effort. |
