NY International Numismatic Convention - January 2022

Also, they used to have antiquities dealers, but the last couple of times I went there weren't any anymore. Perhaps they decided to exclude them.

Thank you for posting about this show. I'm so there, just reserved a room, unless the s---storm that has been going on for 6 or so months stays hanging overhead, may go anyway,lol. I'm from LI and miss it. Besides it looks like a ton of dealers will be there.

 

As someone else stated, if you're attending the show please take some pictures of the event to share here. Those of us who can't make it really enjoy getting a feel for what this show looks like.

For those trying to decide what days to attend...

Typically, I make a list of any coins that will be auctioned that I want to see. I attend the Sunday before the show, to preview the lots. This is a good opportunity to see the best coins at leisure, meet up with friends, and obtain free (!) catalogs.

Thursday it costs $125 to attend. This is a good day to shop the bourse. Coins from $1 to $100,000.

Friday and Saturday it costs something like $20 to attend. These are good days to go back to the tables that had coins you wanted that have since been sold and kick yourself for not being bold. Saturday is the educational program. Those programs can be good places to meet people.

I've never had good luck on bourse Sunday.

 

well, counts me out, lol

 

I haven't been since the Waldorf days. I miss the free auction night buffets.

 

If you go, prepare yourself for a staggering, sensory overload!

 

Are dealers willing and available to work with collectors on Thursday? It sounds like it is intended to be a "vest pocket" dealer day. I could see folks being too busy with dealer-to-dealer business to bother with the general public.

 

Te veo aya

 

It looks like I will be attending. I will try to bring some more buttons to give out to fellow CT members. I hope to see some of you there. Terence

 

A few dealers sneak in a handful of US Coins. Even mint errors. I have acquired some nice examples from this show. Especially Foreign errors.
Example..
Got this raw and submitted to NGC the same day!

 

Do you know which day you'll be there?

 

I will be there Sunday to Sunday, I leave Monday Terence

 

I meant, which day are you planning to go to the NYINC?

 

When the doors open on Thursday it's a feeding frenzy. At least that's the way it was at the Waldorf. I haven't attended for some years now. My experience is that most dealers take early birds seriously and the floor is less crowded than Friday and Saturday. By the time the doors open on Friday, the ripest cherries will have been picked. Well worth the admission price for serious buyers, imho.

 

Hmmm. I might save more than the $125 if I get to a coin first on Thursday before another dealer does. At least I can try to convince myself of that logic. Anyone else thinking about going Thursday?

 

Depending on COVID, I will attend on Thursday. It's well worth the $125 to me: I've bought several of my favorite coins by being able to swoop in quickly as the show opens. To your earlier point, dealers definitely will sell to collectors on Thursday but I wouldn't expect many discounts from their asking prices - come Saturday, that might be a different story.

 

I forgot to mention that my plans to attend are predicated on the assumption that the cataract surgery on my left eye that I've scheduled for the Monday of that week, January 10, won't interfere with my going. I've been relying almost entirely on my right eye anyway lately, so as long as I can still see coins out of that one I figure it shouldn't be a problem! (I'm supposed to have the right eye done later in January. The left one is definitely more urgent.)

Of course, the $3,000 I'll have to spend on the laser surgery, just for one eye, in order to correct the astigmatism, may be a deterrent to splurging on coins at the convention! But that's what credit cards are for, right?

 

I will also be attending...for the first time! I'll be there for Triton and the first two days (Thurs and Friday)!

Hoping to meet some fellow CTers!
