<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shea19, post: 8167476, member: 90981&quot;]Had a very nice time at the show on Friday afternoon.&nbsp; As usual, it was a bit of a sensory overload, just so many incredible coins in front of you everywhere you look.&nbsp; My personal favorite that I saw yesterday was a spectacular Marcus Aurelius medallion…at $25k, it was <i>just </i>a bit out of my price range, but definitely the most memorable one of the day for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>While there was a lot of beautiful high-end material to look at, I found that it was a lot harder to find things to actually buy…there definitely were not as many dealers with mid-range priced coins as in previous years.</p><p><br /></p><p>My most successful table of the day was Herakles Numismatics.&nbsp; I actually met [USER=110350]@DonnaML[/USER] over at that table, and we spent a good 15-20 minutes going through pretty much his whole inventory…I think we both ended up doing very well there (and always great to meet other CT members!)</p><p><br /></p><p>I ended up buying only 4 coins, but I was very happy with the ones I got.&nbsp;&nbsp; My two favorite purchases were both provincials of Septimius Severus: a huge (35mm) provincial bronze from Pisidia, and a tetradrachm from Laodicea (a type I’ve wanted for a very long time) with a great portrait .&nbsp; I also picked up a pretty Salonina tetradrachm from Alexandria, and a nice ant. of Carinus, an emperor that had been missing from my collection.&nbsp; I didn’t get to take pictures before heading out of town for the weekend, but I’ll take some pics and share those as soon as I can.</p><p><br /></p><p>Overall, I had a good time and ended up with a nice haul.&nbsp; Sorry I didn’t get to see more of you this year,&nbsp; but I hope everyone still there enjoys the rest of the show![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
