Coin Show Williamsport PA Sunday August 7th 2011

Yes I plan to attend and I should talk to Myst more often. We do hit it off so well but I hardly find the time to hook up.
So I will be writing to Myst and hope we get together and it would be nice to see you and meet you too.

It is a small show of about maybe 15 or 20 dealers, they have a couple tables each and there is some very high end coins to be seen as well as a nice bargain dealer just as we got in the door last year. Me and Myst picked up a good number of 1/2 price coins that surely were bargains but not anything really hard to find elsewhere at the show.

The bulk of these dealers probably do all the PA shows and for some this might be the only show they do.
Some I liked, some I walk right by the tables, so that might just be my problem.
I figure, I am the customer, they should at least be glad to see people shopping and try to do what they can to make them happy.
A couple are not my kind of dealers but I can easily fill an afternoon and have a great time every year if I don't dwell on what isn't perfect about it.
This is at every show for me, not just here.

They have nice free hourly door prizes by admission ticket stub numbers and also a good ticket drawing that you don't need to be present for but those are a buck a chance.

The kitchen is just outside the showroom door and so is a bar where you can belly up to and have a beer or a soda if you want while you eat lunch.

Parking is generally not a problem but there will be plenty of parked cars around the building.Last year there was a separate function at the pavilion behind the show which made parking a little irritating.
It is out of the way off Rt 15 in a residential area. You might think you are getting lost but don't worry, you'll find it.

I think that I could try to be there at 10:00, lets see if Myst can make it then too? Hey, I can come and go twice. I should try and meet you, that would be neat. You probably know what I look like so you'll have to introduce yourself. I will probably look stupid for a second trying to figure out what you are talking about.
That's OK with me if you don't mind.

Are they having a kid zone?

Wow, I just got home from the coin show and maybe it was because it was morning and early but it was hard to find any really nice everyday US type coins at a bargain.
There were some amazing coins for sale though.
Everything just struck me as being awfully expensive.

Everyone was advertising they were BUYING GOLD.
I saw an $18,000.00 price tag on a 1776 Continental Currency Dollar.
Many Flowing Hair coins and beautiful gold coins and paper money.
Plenty of Key dates.
I saw an amazing type coin set in high grades.

Another great thing was meeting three amigos from CCF there.

Myst me and pyrbob got our picture taken and just after we got done this guy is standing behind me and says ...
pssst: Are you wheezy? It's beaglebailey from up north of Williamsport.
I said "Hey great to meet you, you just missed being in the group picture"

We didn't get to talk to him to much but he was nice. We all kinda spread out then and did our own thing.
I didn't spend much money at all. I had more fun meeting people from CCF than looking at coins really.
I did get amazed though when I got to look at a small binder with a bunch of Henning nickels in it. There must have been a roll of 1944 no mintmark nickels in there and a 1943 no mint mark too.

I'll let the guy who showed me that chime in for himself.
There was a lot of people there and I had a good time.
Here's our picture without beaglebailey in it.
