Everything I heard about the show from my dealer ilk all said it wasn't just good-it was great show. Legend had a GREAT show-something we really did not expect. Its the first show in 2 years we have been able to buy coins. Even more important, collectors were out in force-including many big collectors who flew in.
The CSNS people put a lot of work into it and may have saved what I thought was slowly dying show.
Lets hear your buys and CSNS stories!

What was that David Crosby lyric? "It's been a long time coming..." Since dealer attitudes about the show have been degenerating over the past decade or so, I'd expect the new bourse team's common sense and ability to listen has added some oxygen.
I sold several items for what I considered good prices. I purchased only one coin, a 1798 Bust dollar in XF45 CAC.
I thought it went for a reasonable price at $2,640. I was surprised that Fred Weinberg dabbled into these patterns.
I believe it has a 50-50 chance in getting a CAC sticker. The obverse deserves a sticker but the reverse is more problematical.
I like joking with JA that he is superb in evaluating metals but not as much in evaluating plastic.
