<p>[QUOTE="illini420, post: 1195405, member: 19423"]I went yesterday (and will go again tomorrow) and I had a decent time at the show. This particular show I didn't think was nearly as exciting as Long Beach has been in the past. PCGS didn't bring any major collection to display like they typically do, so that was a bummer. Also, as Charmy noted, many major dealers didn't show up to this show or instead chose to walk the show instead of being set up. In the front half of the convention center, it seemed like 20% or so of the tables were empty.</p><p> </p><p>That said, there are many many awesome coins being displayed by some of the dealers!!! The highlight for me was seeing two of the Indian Cents that were struck on $2.5 gold planchets!! I'm not much of an error collector, but those are probably the coolest coins I've seen and to see two of them in a case side by side was really neat. Another dealer had a 5-coin Pan-Pac set that was all in slabs, but also had one of the original copper frames that the sets were originally sold in. Pretty sweet![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
