<p>[QUOTE=&quot;princeofwaldo, post: 2058133, member: 24091&quot;]Was at the show too.&nbsp; First timer.&nbsp; Traded a 1904 China Dragon Dollar (NGC AU58) for a 1901-A Prussia 5 Mark in NGC MS65, and also got an 1867-A France 5 Franc in NGC MS62 in the trade as well.&nbsp; Both nice looking coins, the 5 Franc is a real screamer and looks a point nicer than 62.&nbsp; And so, I didn&#039;t spend a dollar on coins.&nbsp; AND since I had ramon noodles, probably beat your Campbell&#039;s soup on the cheap-o scale as well. About even on hotel expenses, but I flew and the $100 for round-trip taxifare from and to the airport puts you way ahead.</p><p><br /></p><p>Generally, a pleasant experience.&nbsp; I thought the lighting in the hall was bad, and no number of lamps on dealer tables can make-up for that.&nbsp; Also, the food was horrendous (and expensive) at the convention center.&nbsp; I really thought there would be at least one sit-down place where you could get waited on.&nbsp; As it was, most of the food vendors were way in the back and they didn&#039;t even have a counter to eat at much less any tables or chairs.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I sensed there were a lot of dealers there for their last time this year.&nbsp; Guys who do the show circuit only and who are just hanging on by their fingernails.&nbsp; Unless there is some massive rally in precious metals prices over the next 12 months, I won&#039;t be surprised if the show is a third smaller next year as a lot of these guys give-up and pack it in.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
