MSNS Show Thanksgiving Weekend

Once again, as 49 times before, the Michigan State Numismatic Society
will be holding its annual Fall show this weekend. The convention will
be at the Hyatt Regency, Dearborn. You will find 165 dealers, several
club meetings, and more.

The show opens to the public, Friday, November 25, at 10:00 am. The
show runs Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The bourse is open from 10 to
6 on Fri and Sat and 10 to 4 on Sunday.

The MSNS website is at www.michigancoinclub.org

I'm on the fence right now as to whether
I will be going or not. At this time the
roads are slippery with strong winds
and whiteouts. Hopefully weather conditions will be better Friday or
Saturday. It will be about a 75 mile
drive one way.

I only attended today, Friday, for a couple of hours because I have to
work, but I was able to find what I needed both for gifts and for
research. I have an article submission due about Ann Arbor's wildcat
currency, so I bought two for images.

The show was fairly brisk. Even though there were a few unsold tables,
in point of fact both the Main Floor and the Annex were hopping. There
was a lot of buying and selling going on and from what I saw it looked
like neither a buyers' market nor a sellers' but just a market, fairly
brisk with everyone seeming pleased.

It was pretty easy to see all of the mainstream items and areas of
course, but the minority reports were in as well with errors, ancients,
world paper, etc., etc., all doing well.

Former ANA president John Wilson was there with Nancy. ANA governor
Pattie Finner is there with Rollie. Severl other CSNS "gold jackets"
were floating about. Cliff Mishler is manning the Krause table. John
Stoutsdyk is representing Heritage. I was pleasantly surprised to see
Craig Whitford Auctions at his usual place, with lots of activity, of
course.

Ron Stoutsdyk is there representing Heritage.
Cliff Mishler is there for Krause.
Former ANA president John Wilson is there with former ANA governor
Nancy Wilson.
Present ANA governor Patti Finner is there with Rollie and you can find
a few other Central States governors there as well.

I was pleasantly surprised to see Craig Whitford auctions back at his
old table.

I bought a few notes for an article I am writing, and I found a few
things for gifts.

The show runs through Sunday.

What what what?
Isn't Mike Marotta there, manning the "Arguments For a Dollar" booth?
