<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coinsandmedals, post: 3901179, member: 107435&quot;]As some of you may know, I just returned from an academic conference in Montreal. As any dedicated numismatist would do, I checked out some local coin shops. Without any real pointers from locals ahead of time, I just followed what I could find on google and went from there. This resulted in a lot of dead ends. I did explore a coin shop that was located on the top floor of a shopping mall. Their inventory mainly was modern RCM products, supplies, publications, and a handful of older Canadian coins.&nbsp; Although the owner was super friendly, he did not have the type of coins I collect. He handed me a piece of paper (in french) and told me that I might be able to find what I am looking for at the coin show occurring that weekend.</p><p><br /></p><p>I found a few hours between various meetings and talks to attend the show. Sadly, I was unable to find anything extraordinary for my collection. I did get to check out some beautiful Canadain coins and found myself super tempted to restart my Canadian large cent collection. I resisted and almost left the show empty-handed. There was one table that was always busy that intrigued me. Finally, on my third lap around the floor, a spot cleared up, and I wiggled my way through the crowd. Although he didn&#039;t exactly have what I wanted, I could not resist searching through his &quot;junk trays&quot;. In the process, I found this little treasure. Although not particularly valuable or rare, I could not pass it up for $12 (US). I had to have a little souvenir from my first ever international coin show!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1028212[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
