Message:: [QUOTE="geekpryde, post: 26807860, member: 36248"]I had a good time on Saturday, but didn't purchase a single thing. Had a few great conversations, notably with Cabbage Coins and David Kahn Rare Coins, and a smaller collector/dealer I met at a Maine show that I enjoy talking with, John's Coins, (I think out of Billerica MA).     Also chatted with an older dealer specializing in medals and tokens only, but didn't catch his name. It's really a great show, perfect size for 4 hours of shopping and talking.  Parking is ridiculously easy, just enough security (not too much, not too little), and everyone seems like they were having a good / relaxing time, dealers and shoppers alike. I am unfortunately at a point where the coins I need are rarely seen in grades I can afford.   I compare it to hunting, most times you go out, you don't see anything to shoot at, and even if you do, doesn't mean you're going to bring anything home.   But it still can be enjoyable to just go. I also was very excited to go out to eat after the show at a Vegan place I love called "The Green Beautiful", but since the last show, it went out of business.   That was a bummer, I was looking for super light and fresh for the drive home, but had to settle for mediocre noodles elsewhere that settled in my gut like concrete. I did at least get some nice chilled spicy cucumbers. [ATTACH=full]1711054[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
