Well had Friday off and decided to drive down to Richmond to a coin show. I figured I'd see some new dealers and fresh stock since I never had gone to the Richmond Show. Show was smaller than I exspected and very slow. About half the dealers are at most of the other shows I have attended. Here are a few of my finds. Hope tou enjoy the pics and as always comments are welcome.
I Know from the pic the 41S does not look full steps but they are all there. Also thought I'd include this one I got in the mail yesterday!
We had a show here in Portland on Sat. The show was lousy. half the tables were no shows..The fact is, the small shows are dying..It's the same with train shows. I am aslo a train collector and operator.. The internet is killing them, and being an ebayer, I can understand that. I go on ebay and I have 50,000 dealers 18" from me.
You can look here http://www.coinshows.com/ but this does not have all the shows. Type "Coin shows and your state" in Google see what it comes up with. Good Luck!
Well with Gas as high as it is it's not worth driving to the big show for me. I have decided not to go to the Baltimore show anymore and I won't be going to Richmond again. I usually budget about $100 - $200 when I go to a show but when cost me about $50 to get to a show for gas and parking it's just not worth it and as you said I can sit in front of my computer and have 18,000 dealers at my fingertips weather ebay, teletrade or numberous other coin auctions. That way I'll be getting coins for that $50.00.
