Party time ! I'm in Houston (aka "Huge-town") Thursday night 12/4 and on the floor and the auction Friday and Saturday 12/5 and 6. Who's in ? PM me ! :hail:
I will make it one of the days, not sure which one yet...I suspect there will be 1 isle of world and ancients to go through...and about 98% US in all the other isles...so it wont take that long. I need to find the guy who was there last year with the notgeld...see if he has any more...and buy them all.
Is that the coin show at the George R Brown Convention Center? I am planning on attending...but I really have no funds to get anything. Maybe $100. I have some foreign coins I want to sell though.

This is an outstanding and very well run show. I highly recommend attending. The club does a fantastic job on this show, and the Brown convention center is nice. The hotel next to the convention center has a very good restaurant for lunch. I widh I could attend, but no such luck...
Well, I have had the flu for the last week, but I am much better today so I think I will still be attending the show, probably on sat.
well...as is usual, just a very small part of the show was given to world and ancients. All the same it was, as usual, a very nice, well run show. In some ways, I am glad I do not collect American coins as I would be somewhat overwhelmed by the number of American coin dealers and the HUGE amount of American coins one would be faced with. As it is, there is just one isle for world and ancients (to be honest, a bit less than a whole isle.) so there was just so many coins I felt the need to thumb through. Walked away with: 1. Queen Victoria Indian Rupee 2. George III Soho Penny (in much better shape than the ones I already have) 3. Sarawak (White Raja Charles Brooke) 1 cent There was one Exonumia dealer who had a small collection of notgeld and other tokens, I bought a collection of Nuremburg coins, a cool electric train token from Czechoslovakia, and a few other misc notgeld and tokens. All in all I enjoyed myself and didnt spend that much.
