New York Coin Show a Disappointing Experience
I recently attended [a New York] coin show, a two-day event. This used to be a much larger show where I made many purchases, but it was downsized from a larger regional show to a ballroom show at a Marriott a few years ago.
I went early on the second day, Saturday morning, and about half the dealers had packed up after the first day and gone home. Needless to say, I would not have attended if I knew that in advance. So a show that should have had about 35-40 dealers barely had 15 and some of them only did currency or foreign coin. So, in effect, it was less than 10 dealers selling U.S. coins I left after 10 minutes, vowing never to return to a show I have gone to for
