I went this morning. There were hardly any US coins there, and the few that I did see were all raw ASE's. You guys would probably hate it. But for me, it makes up for all of the other shows through the rest of the year where there's only one or two ancients dealers. It really was a banner show for me. Met a lot of dealers and gave my card to a number of them. Have a chance at a few good jobs too, I believe.
And what would a show be without coins?
