Albuquerque Show Attendance Tops 800
More than 800 visitors, which included 89 non-collector youth and families, attended the annual fall three-day show of the Albuquerque, N.M., Coin Club (ACC), held Nov. 15-17 at the Marriott Pyramid Hotel in North Albuquerque, according to the club.
Paid admission on Friday alone, from the 12:30 p.m. public opening to the closing at 5:30 p.m., topped the 200 mark – “a first in over 50 years,” Kathy O’Neill, ACC treasurer noted.
Sales on the 55-dealer bourse floor were brisk all three days especially for mid-range grade type collector coins. Gold and silver bullion items saw very little interest. Paper money and ancients fared so-so, according to the club.
“Collector coins did very well,” said Chick McCormack
