    Yeah - I did that last time since they have the only kosher place in town. I was just thinking though, anyone who comes here MUST take the side trip to the Univ of Pen museum and see what is likely the greatest ancients connection in the US...at least. It is mind numbing.

    Why not go to the US Mint? Go to the gift shop and see what silver commemoratives they have. Ask the clerk if you could see 10 of the same commemorative and pick out the 70's with a loupe. I did this once and picked out 2 ms70's!
    Also, the food in philly is amazing!
     
  10. Check out the Perth Mint booth and see if they have any coins with birds. ;) TC

    I like the little Thai stand or Middle Eastern stand. They have good falafel sandwiches.

    Yeah I did. They have a real cute booth babe, but not the coins I wanted to look at. No Utrecht mint here. I was sort of bummed. Panda America is here and they have all those Japanese Perfect coins, but I passed on those as well. I did have a fantastic opurtunity to buy a 7K Sheckel.

    That is the worst butchering of the spelling of Philadelphia I have ever seen. I swear you NYC boys do that on purpose just to **** us Philly boys off.

    No, those NYC boys just aren't right. Something not good in the water there.

    Look at the special Pandas issued by the China Mint for the Philadelphia show. They should be at the Panda America booth.

    On the contrary, the water there makes the best pizza dough and bagels.

    Can't get that anywhere else.
