Message:: [QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 3910050, member: 73489"]Westchester Coin Show, 11/29-11/30 Update: Not much to say that I didn't in September (look at my post a few before this).  If anything, it looked like 1 or 2 dealers didn't show up compared to last time.  Definitely alot more dealers 5-6 years ago at the Westchester Convention Center.  I was under the impression that when this quarterly show was at the WCC, they held the November show in the main floor because they had more dealers and could command more space.  Apparently, that is no longer the case. I got there 10:30 AM (show opens at 10) and I would say dealers outnumbered attendees at that time.  I stayed until about 12 PM noon and by then attendance had picked up, maybe it doubled or tripled.  A friend stopped by 1:30 PM or so and said it was even busier then -- late-arriving crowd apparently on the 2nd day of this show, whereas Parsippany NJ folks are packing up by 1 PM or so. I spoke for a few minutes to an OOS ancient dealer who had 2 cases of interesting coins. He'll be at the Mt. Kisco show in 2 weeks (anybody going ?) and also the NY Numismatic International at the Grand Hyatt right after FUN.  Had some interesting coins with emperors and dicatators I never heard about before.  A Caligula gold coin piqued my interest -- up until the time I found out it cost $3,500.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie4" alt=":mad:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> More and more of the dealers have multiple brands with which to market (the ancient guy I chatted with, him and his firm he was affiliated with only dealt in ancients):  Saints & Morgans, Currency and Bills, Raw ungraded coins in those white square things, and foreign/ancient coins.  Didn't see as many bullion dealers as I do at the Parsippany, NJ show. Heard a couple of dealers extolling ancients/foreigns to one another with the much lower pop numbers.  Thought it might be one of the guys from CT at first ! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> That's about it.  I'm looking forward to the Mt. Kisco show because that's an exclusive NY neighborhood and I believe it's different show promoters, so maybe it'll have different/more dealers and attendees.  As of now, I plan on attending and if I do I'll report back.  Mt. Kisco is a Sunday-only show so if anybody is planning on attending (and I believe there will be even more ancients/foreigns there than at the Westchester Marriott), let me know and maybe we can hook up. <a href="https://www.coinzip.com/Coin-and-Collectibles-Fair" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.coinzip.com/Coin-and-Collectibles-Fair" rel="nofollow">https://www.coinzip.com/Coin-and-Collectibles-Fair</a>[/QUOTE]
