<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BNB Analytics, post: 698347, member: 20117&quot;]Okay, time for the 2009 Van Nuys Coin Show report by yours truly, BNB!!!!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Arrived at 11:00ish from Santa Monica.</p><p><br /></p><p>Walked in, paid my $3 fee, and saw the show. Very very small venue, but very personable.</p><p><br /></p><p>I spoke to a dealer about my 1908-d no motto and the dealer + customer agreed that it is an AU-55+ uncleaned, totally authentic.</p><p><br /></p><p>Went to a few other dealers and some said AU-58/MS.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, that&#039;s that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mike arrived(Finally got his tire fixed after a flat) at around 12 pm and we met up. We also met up with brad on this forum. Mike and I did the rounds a few times asking dealers questions, trying to sell, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>The overall vibe of the show was kinda slow and the crowd died out towards 2:00+ onward.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some dealers I noticed packed up early.</p><p>I officially(well, sorta) became respected by a few dealers when I&nbsp; went to sell some coins and told them of my limited successes on ebay.</p><p>I gave/received business cards and plan to hopefully do some business down the road, maybe even set up one day <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I ended buying some nickel cardboard holders for my hobos and 2 ancient roman coins for $90 for both.. Pics are on the way.</p><p><br /></p><p>Overall the show is a B because there was the typical stuff being sold, typical dealer talk, and same ole same ole. Now things are becoming a routine the more I go to shows so at least I learn what&#039;s hot and what&#039;s not..</p><p><br /></p><p>Boy, the 1995-w Silver eagle.. GORGEOUS.. Wish I had money for one.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Mike did okay too but I&#039;m sure he&#039;ll piggy back on this thread so he can explain in detail what he bought and /or sold.</p><p><br /></p><p>I stayed from 11 am to close(4 pm) and time flew by fast.</p><p>I will be at Buena park next week so I hope to see you all there.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now onto the pics,[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
