<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nicholasz219, post: 7831880, member: 75641&quot;]I was happy to see some coin friends even though I ran out of time like usual and had to run out of there to pick up my daughter from camp.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I have to say the motto for the show must have been “Full Retail.”&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I could not believe some of the prices being asked.&nbsp; Common stuff, like denarii and Greek provincials priced in the hundreds when they are $20-60 coins.&nbsp; I did see some tremendous stuff floating around though.&nbsp; Even Berk’s pick bin was $25 per coin this year so I didn’t bother.&nbsp; ($10 per coin three years ago, no bin two years ago at the reinvented CICF and no shows last year.). I only bought coins from two dealers.&nbsp; I spent $140 in total and had prepared to spend much more.&nbsp; I just couldn’t pull the trigger on things I felt were overpriced.&nbsp; I wish I had had more time to just dig in stuff that would fill a side collection but I couldn’t.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>all of the provincial stuff I saw was either overpriced or super high end stuff I couldn’t hope to afford.&nbsp; CNG offered a Septimius Severus medallion for $35,000 that is spectacular.&nbsp; The fellow at the desk amused me by allowing me to look at it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=394251" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=394251" rel="nofollow">https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=394251</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I did find some fancy little buys that I’ll share eventually.&nbsp; I just wish there were more.&nbsp; Also didn’t see a lot of dealers set up that I should have including Civitas.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
