The show had many interesting exhibits as well as booths set up by various clubs. I especially enjoyed talking to a Liberty Seated Collector's Club member about seated varieties and CC strikes, and sharing my similar thoughts regarding bust coinage.

As soon as I got to the show I made a beeline for the NGC booth, and I'm glad I did, since they actually closed up at around 11AM. I got there just in time to be the last to get my submissions in.
