<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gopher29, post: 1169622, member: 5379&quot;]Sounds like you had a pretty decent time at the show.&nbsp; I attended a big show myself out here in the midwest today (Central States Numismatic Society Convention).&nbsp; It was, as you described yours, more a silver convention than a traditional coinshow.&nbsp; No doubt about it, silver is the main attraction these days at coinshows, coinshops, and even television.&nbsp; Dealers were pushing silver rounds at $50 apiece and SAEs at $60 and folks were snapping them up like the world was going to end tomorrow.&nbsp; For those of us old enough to remember, it&#039;s kind of reminiscent of the 1980 Silver bubble hysteria (Hunt Brothers).&nbsp; It will be interesting to see what ultimately happens this time to the silver craze.&nbsp; The good news is that for collectors like ourselves we can pass on todays seemingly high priced silver bullion and take advantage of the relatively depressed prices of numismatics.&nbsp; Before I left, I picked up a 1800/79 large cent to add to my collection in G-4 condition for $60.&nbsp; I said why not.&nbsp; I mean what is $60 today?&nbsp; A one ounce silver eagle?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
