Spring Baltimore Update
The year is flying by. It’s tough when coin shows are bunched together. We had Long Beach, Mid-Winter ANA and the Baltimore Spring Show back-to-back to back. We opted to attend Baltimore due to the past strength of the show. This year was not a disappointment. The show itself was very strong. We sold a lot of our top-quality retail coins and marginal wholesale coins all to dealers. We left the show before the public came in o...

SCAM Alert!
Very Important SCAM Alert!

Welcome to the latest Rare Coin Enthusiast. This issue will start with my thoughts regarding the November 14-16 Baltimore Coin Expo. Chris and I left for the show on November 12th.
