I must admit I was a little sad to see one dealer who has been there for a
number of years showed up with not only AGC slabbed coins, but a bunch of
NTC slabs as well.

Despite the cold weather and the Super Bowl, attendance at today's show
was
quite well attended. I left at noon and it was still pretty well packed.

I was a bit disappointed in the lack of tokens at this show, but I did
make
a few minor purchases, including a 2003 proof silver eagle ($32), and two
Panamanian proof 20 balboas ($25 each). The latter are the size of
coasters
and quite pretty, and on top of that contain about 3.8 ounces of silver.
At
current spot silver prices, I got them basically as bullion, which is all
I
have ever considered them to be anyway.
