<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 124467, member: 4552&quot;]Today was another coin show in a town called CountrySide, Illinois. I had a choice of going to this coin show, a gun show, opening of two different outdoor flea markets, indoor flea market or just staying home and saving money. So naturally I went to the coin show. I got there about 15 minutes before it was supposed to open and it was crowded already. Why don&#039;t people go by the start time so I could be without all the corwds? This is a great place for a coin show because the washrooms are clean,&nbsp; lighting is great, parking is abundant and free, entrance to the show is free, easy to find the place, Large room with plenty of aisle space. As usual the great majority of buyers were elderly people. Some younger ones, a few YNs and a few females. One dealer had a large display of jewerly and I asked how come and she said she sells more of that than the coins. Possibly many men feel guilty when spending so much on a coin so feel they should bring home a sorry about that gift. There is always a lady at the gun shows around here thatdoes the same thing. About 90 or so dealers and several were selling currency. This is actually a coin and currency show. This place is only about 12 miles from home so not a bad trip each month. One dealer told me the coin market is so booming that a few years ago he would gross $100,000 for the entire year and now does that each month. As usual I spent to much money on coins so left about 10AM. Also, as usual I purchased&nbsp; everything from basically the same two dealers.&nbsp; It was way to crowded by then anyway. I never realized how many places sold food until the ride home from the coin show this morning with out having breakfast. Every corner seamed to have a place for food. Another coin show new Sunday but probably will be a dud because of Easter. Hope every one had as great a weekend as I did.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
