That is both good news and bad news. Always glad to see an updated resource, but I do wish I had gotten my TITANIC stamp listed only to help avoid anyone getting duped. I used the counterstamp on quite a few coins (mostly ones dated 1912 or 2012), but most of them have not yet been distributed to either collectors or circulation, as appropriate, and so there is little to no knowledge of them in the hobby. I did spend one counterstamped 1912 nickel early on (a few years ago) in a small town on the Western edge of Massachusetts – I put it in a collection canister for some Boy Scout fundraising effort, and it has recently turned up on eBay being offered by someone in the NY Catskills for $450! I am sure he does not know what it is, but neither does anyone else, so I am hoping that no one buys it.

 

Jeff: Please check out my P/M to you in regard to your stamps.

Great write up!!! and SEXY SEXY SEXY pieces!!!

 

Enjoyed the synopsis. I was curious about the lack of public attendance at the show. Is that the norm for an ANA event, or did weather (or some other factor) play a role?

 

Amanda:

Is there any chance that you're going to to Central States?

 

Now that I know coin shows don't really start until after-hours I'm hanging out at the bar next time.

 

jallengomez, I have learned more at the bar than in the shows... sad, but true

 

Hi guys! Sorry I fell off the planet for a bit, but I caught a bug over the weekend (of course).

@thejaxcollector ... This was my first trip to Atlanta, and so I didn't really know what to expect. But if all the press surrounding the Saddle Ridge hoard wasn't enough to get butts in the seats (as it were), then I don't know what it would take. I overheard many dealers lamenting about how Atlanta "just isn't a coin town and never has been", but I can't personally attest to that. I do know that it was one of the slowest shows I've ever been to, though.

@mikenoodle: Yes, I will be at Central States! I can't seem to lay my hands immediately on our table number, but I'm sure I'll find it somewhere in the next few weeks. You must stop by my table if you're going to be attending!

@jallengomez: It is SO TRUE. Coin shows really get kickin' every night at the bars. There's usually a swing where people will meet in the bar for a pre-dinner drink, then it'll be fairly empty for a while as everyone goes off to dinner before everyone crams back into the bar for after-dinner drinks. It's a wild and crazy world out there! And as Mike said, you can learn an awful lot just listening to others talk around you!
