Attended the show on Thursday and Friday maxing out the days (Left 6AM Thursday, return 10PM Thursday). While exhausting I enjoyed every minute of it. Cozy show small enough to fully cover in 2 days. Relatively well attended from my perspective. Dinner with friends spending the evening sitting around the dinner table listening 6 other guys talk coins and politics. Quite an enjoyable evening. Todd @ BlueCC Photo imaged some coins I brought and 2 medals below which I will share once processed. Otherwise, sold, traded yet mostly picked up a few coins and medals and this scarce Taler from Atlas which I really like. 1669, GERMAN STATES. Saxe-New-Gotha. Ernst I Taler.

You have some beautiful coins. I'm 6 months into learning German and love reading German coins now that I can. Do you have a German background?
Great coins as always. You have a good eye. I wish I had known you were going to be there on Friday. We had a meeting of the Hungarian Coin Club of the Greater Washington Area on Friday. If you're interested, let me know the next time you're at Whitman. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk
