<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RoslynT, post: 830415, member: 19660&quot;]<b>Enjoyed the show</b></p><p><br /></p><p>I also went to the Baltimore show on Saturday.&nbsp; My husband and I got there around 10:30 and were there until 2:30.&nbsp; We looked at everything!! It was the first time either of us were at such a big show.&nbsp; By the time we left the dealers were clearing out.&nbsp; I did get a chance to stop by and say hello to Charmy and Todd.&nbsp; I bought a 1858 Flying Cent from her since I know she is a trustworthy dealer.&nbsp; I don&#039;t collect cents but wanted one since for the novelty of having a coin that was only minted for two years - it was a VF+.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I was on the hunt for a 1935S Peace Dollar in AU or better to complete my Peace Dollar collection - but did not find any that appealed to my eye and to my wallet.&nbsp; I did finally pick up a 1852 silver 3 cent piece (trime) in AU.&nbsp; I have been eyeing trimes for quite some time now (notice my avatar) but never found one that I wanted to take home until yesterday and I bought it from a local Maryland dealer.&nbsp; I like to support the local dealers when I can.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My husband filled some holes in his buffalo nickel collection and also found a $50 Conferderate Note (02/17/1864) to his liking and the dealer who was from Florida gave a great price.&nbsp; The currency dealer said he had a really good show this year.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I spent sometime talking to a dealer who had a very nice selection of ancients - I never really spent much time researching them as I have focused solely on US coins but after talking with him and looking at his offerings - I definitely want to explore those some more.&nbsp; I was particularly fascinated by a silver coin dating from 300-350 BC.&nbsp; It was stunning and 2300 years old.&nbsp; Ancient should be appreciated for their beauty.&nbsp; I haven&#039;t stopped thinking about that coin and wish I had a little more disposable income to bring that lady home!! I took his card and he only lives about 10 miles from me so who knows!&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Overall what I liked best about the show was the variety.&nbsp; It was overwhelming a bit but I met some really nice folks and saw some things I have never seen before.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
