Is anyone going to the Whitman show in Philly next week? http://www.whitmanexpo.com/contentPages/Main_Philadelphia.aspx I guess it is their first time in Philadelphia? I've little experience with coin shows in general, are there usually good deals to be had? Maybe bump into somebody from CT and have lunch, a glass of wine, etc...
I'll be there on Friday as well. Scoping out some Peace Dollars. Any dealers here attending? Would love to throw you some business before patroninizing non-CT dealers.
I am trying to peer pressure my wife into a 4 hour road trip so I can go... C'mon honey all the cools kids are doing it
I went today, first major coin show I've been to in YEARS. Sold a ton of stuff, pocketed about $1k, bought a PL CC Morgan, then rolled out to RTM, got dinner, and headed home.
Well, gotta hit the rack. My day will start at 0600 tomorrow. If all goes well I should arrive at the show at opening time. I'll have lunch across the street at the Lancaster(?) Market. (Psst, don't pass it up; there's GOT to be something there you'd like.) For the rest of the time I have four targets: - a MAJOR upgrade of one of my IHCs (this is a definite; all arranged) - try to convince a dealer to come down in price on another coin I really want. They've come down some but their asking price is still above all retail prices I can find. - I would like to sell one modern commem set. - After that it's a search for other items on my wantlist.
Reading Terminal Market, you mean. It's awesome! I love RTM so much. Got some fish for dinner while I was there. Wish I worked in the city every day.
