[QUOTE="Andrew75, post: 881175, member: 25119"]This is a pretty cool review, thank you for it. I am from Milwaukee (Well currently, I am moving out of state in a month), and it is a pretty cool town for the most part. Anyway, I knew the show was in town this weekend, but after going on a date Friday night, and then partying afterwards with some buddies, I didn't feel like going. Add onto the fact I woke up Saturday with a huge knot in my neck and hungover, lol, I was going to skip it. But around noon I felt better, and it was such a lovely day I had to get out, so I took the drive to downtown. Finding parking on the street was pretty easy, and I walked a quarter of a mile to the show. I do like the Midwest Express center, saddened they are moving this show next year (Though, humerously, just happens to be the city I am moving to as well). I have only been to smaller coin shows since getting back into collecting 3 months ago, and I loved how large this one was- I am 23, 6'3 and 300 pounds, built like a tank, lol I usually stick out like a sore thumb at a coin show, so I felt like I could blend into the background easier here. Bourse floor was slow, and many dealers were a little bit more upscale, so I had a little bit of a tougher time finding deals that I was interested, but did alright- Got 2 Silver rounds (Johnson Matthey), and a Walking Liberty Half dollar. Left after an hour or so, and met up with some friends at my favorite bar in South Milwaukee. A fun Saturday. First post![/QUOTE]
