This is a twice-a-year show in Manchester New Hampshire. I enjoy this show and have previously written (on CoinTalk) about going. I went to the show Friday and Saturday. It was well attended but not crowded. Every dealer I spoke to said they had a good show. So sales went well. I went with the expectation of selling some of my silver. I am in the market (buying) for only a few things right now. It's not uncommon for me to go to a show and walk out - having bought nothing. I enjoy browsing and talking to dealers. Friday I met @ToughCOINS and we had a great conversation. He had a table set up at the show. We even talked about coins for a while. I walked around for a bit and sold nothing/bought nothing. I had came in with some silver (dimes and quarters) that I bought 15 - 20 years ago. I also had some ATB 5oz silver I wanted to sell. I did find a damaged 1914D cent (it was in a NGC "damaged" holder) that I would have bought with the silver I brought in, but the dealer who had it did not want my silver and the price was higher than I wanted to pay for with cash. I went back late Saturday, about an hour before the end of the show (not open Sunday). Many dealers had already packed up. @ToughCOINS was still set up so he and I chatted a bit. He pointed me in the direction of a potential buyer of my silver. I went over to that table and did sell my dimes/quarters. It was close to $1000 so I was happy I went back.
Thanks @fox. It's nice to see how coin collecting is prevailing in other parts of the country. It's also nice to see a bourse not saturated with white heads, LOL. I guess New Hampsire's not a big locale for retirees? Still, it's nice to see a mixed crowd. Did you by chance see Bethany Danielle, formerly known as @Mainebill when you were there?
