IT’S HERE!
We are shaking our heads how fast the summer has gone. We are also shaking our heads how busy we have been up until a week ago. The ANA Show starts this Tuesday, so the summer is really over.
Collectors realize they can not let any good coin pass them. That big black hole has only grown and the supply of good and great coins has reached almost non existent proportions. It was a shock to us how strong and how well attended the summer FUN Show was. At that show we saw six figure coins trading hands. At that show, we had never seen that before.
Now, at ANA, we expect every one to focus on the few special coins in the auctions. As far as the bourse floor, with PCGS and CAC so tight, we expect to see very little fresh cool coins from dealers. And when we do see something neat and cool, it will priced super strong. The problem there, if we have first shot and we pass, if becomes even 2% cheaper, the next guy will buy it. If you are a dealer like us who gets a lot of first shows, its very frustrating. Warning: do not think too hard or long on great coins!
At this point we really do not know what to expect activity to be like at the show. The ANA show has for sure been on the decline. We expect this one to have a chance to better then last years total dud simply because of the location. The next issue to the show isn’t if the public shows, it’s if the coins do.
YOUR HEAD WILL SPIN
SEE US AT TABLES 523-527
Of course Legend will have millions of dollars worth of just MONSTER coins for sale and on display. We are thrilled to have as the highlight:
The MONSTER 1793 Copper set which includes the UNIQUE and fabulous Proof Ameri Chain Cent. This cent is quite possibly the very first Large Cent ever struck! It is universally considered one of the greatest coins ever minted.
There will be several other MONSTER coins/sets too at our table.
We expect this show to actually regain some of the past in terms of the great displays. You can bet we will be hugging the $20 1933 display moaning to buy the deal. Our own Black Cat will have his special Confederate Half and Cent over at the ANA Display. We know of several dealers who will have some mega coins as well on display. Even before it starts, we have the rare opinion, this show you will see some of the greatest coins only displays (most not for sale) that there has been in years.
If you come by, lets do some biz. Legend Numismatics is the strongest buyer on the floor for the coins we need! What do you have?
NEWPS
Sorry, nothing this week. We are bone dry! We expect to have a killer group next week after the show (we do have coins put back already).
Until then, check out our huge PCGS CAC offerings. We have some great coins that deserve great homes!
