Readers are leaders so the saying goes. Sometime back I received in the mail the info on that coin show. I didn't read it carefully since I go to a coin show there every month. However, this is a state show and a little different. It was a 4 day show, Thursday for dealers only. Friday to Sunday for people, not that they are different. I arrived there on Saturday about 8:45AM to find the show dosn't start until 10AM. Back home. Sunday I arrived at about 9:55AM and still had to wait to get in. Should have read that thing they sent me. Finally at 10:00AM exactly, they let us iin. I noticed about 1/3 of the tables were empty. Asked about that at the door and was told many dealers left yesterday. Most of the dealers left were the ones at every coin show there every month so I knew most of them. After walking around for about an hour I finally sat down at a dealers table I knew real well. He produced a bunch of coins he knew I would be interested in and said he had them aside in case I showed up. I bought about half of them. Nothing of any great value, but all in MS grades. He had several well cleaned Lincoln Cents that he would sell me for a really cheap price. A 12D, 12S, 23S so for the price I took them also. Will leave them on a kitchen window ledge for about a year. Some time back at one of the shows we discussed how I put most of my coins in the Whitman Classic Albums. This dealer said he had piles of them and didn't know what to do with them and would bring them someday for me. At this show he had 3 large boxes of them and told me to take as many as I wanted for free. All looked like new. I took about 40 of them, very heavy so it took 2 trips to my car with them. Not sure yet if I'll use them all but just couldn't pass up the price. Spent another hour or so walking around talking to other dealers and then finally left. Pretty nice show. I did notice an increase in women and kids at this show compared to shows in the past. The best part of the day was on the way home. In a town called LaGrange, on LaGrange Road, a few miles from the show, a large store was having a very large outdoor clearance sale. A lady was demonstrating Weber Grills so she was cooking all types of food and putting it out on tables for help yourself free food. I ate Chicken, Polish sausage, meat balls, Cinamon rolls, ham, and lots more and again, free. Being a little embarrased, not to much though, I did ask if it was OK to pig out and she said, please do. Lots to get rid of. Great day.
I was there, and i thn i saw you, i was wearing a brown American eagle shirt. I had the medium lengtnth blode hair.
