Whitman Baltimore Attendance 0

[Ryan S.]

It's always fun to see some pictures posted from coin shows, Charmy would do a great job of it, but I haven't done one for ages. How many of you went and did you notice anything different? I know the town has changed a lot since COVID hit and closed many businesses. Everyone cautioned me that the Summer Baltimore show would be pretty slow, which set expectations low, but I honestly think it was better than the last one. The trading rooms were super busy on Tuesday, the Wednesday dealer/early bird traffic was strong and Thursday's foot traffic was great as well. All the regulars complain about how many good restaurants have closed down out there in the past couple years, but our favorites like La Tavola are still kicking! It seems like Dollars have come down off of their highs, but lots of people were still buying them. Did anyone else have some highlights or new purchases?

Just rotate your monitor to the right, then stand on your head. All will be well.

Well, they have been on quite a tear in the past year or so...maybe they were due for a pull back.  I am not a Morgan collector, so I don't follow them too close.

Way overdue for a pullback.

No one is ever referring to SBA & SAC

Hehe, yeah I wasn't really sure how to reply to that one....I suppose I could have mentioned this was the June 8th-10th show. The November show was enjoyable too though.

The seafood is best at the November show, which is in late October this year, and there are exhibits at the fall show, put on by the Maryland State club.
