I was just curious if anyone was going to be attending the Frederick, Maryland Coin Show on Friday, October 19 and Saturday, October 20. It's actually in New Market, Maryland I believe. It will be the first show that I am working as a dealer, as we have a table set up. I am excited to be at a show from the other side of the table. I think it will be a fun and interesting experience. It's a small show, but maybe I will see someone from Coin Talk down there.
How small is "small"? What name will you be selling under? I'm about 1 1/2 hours down the road from the show.
I'll go I live just down the road in Columbia, Md so I'll hop over and check it out. I'm looking to upgrade some Mercury Dimes and get a few AU/BU Walking Liberty Halves. Why don't you wear one of those beanies with a propeller on top so I'll recognize ya. Later, Steven
Now Marine, would you wear a propeller beanie as a "cover"? I did'nt think so... From one TexasJarhead to another, square it away Marine. RickieB
are you going to be there both days and you have to tell us what type of thing that we can notice you with i wlil probly go becuase its around 35 min away from my house
I wish I could go. Its only about a 45 minute drive from my house but we've got other plans for that weekend. Maybe next time.
BTW, 30-35 dealers is not a small show. It's a nice comfortable size. Hagerstown is about the same. The only really larger ones I know of "locally" are the yearly 2-3 at the Baltimore Convention Center. And the quarterly show in Vienna and the NOVA show are a bit larger.
Hagerstown actually had 52 tables at their last show with probably 30-35 dealers. Its always about the same amount of tables there every show.
I'm not trying to be critical. I just want to get something straight in my head. Does 52 tables mean 52 dealers? I know several dealers occupied more than one table. My favorite had 3 or 4. ~~~~~~~ Oops, sorry. Now that I read your whole post, I see it answered my question.
I swear I saw the OP give us the name he'll be dealing under, but I can't find it now. And I assume the opening hour on Friday will be 10AM. I intend to be there. Got a couple hard-to-find holes I'd like to fill. Not rare, just not offered often.
