Today I had the opportunity to set up a small local coin show here in town. It's always fun to introduce new people to silver stacking and bullion in general. I find a lot of people at these small shows are more curious than anything. I was surprised today just how many came in trying to sell some coins then had around the house or from some dead relatives. If I was more prepared I could have scooped up a lot of junk silver.

We had most of our catalogue on display today and as usual the most fun part was just putting that 1 or 2 oz silver round into someone's hand.

We also have these Silver Cards for sale now be the poor display model was handled so much I'm sure the finger prints will never go away. It's just great to see people handling silver and getting curious about it.

While I was there looking around I came across a few 2018 Maples I've had my eye on for a while now and they were selling a bit cheaper than the online dealer I usually buy from so I had to pick up a few.

The first was this 30th anniversary maple, I really like the way the 30 pops and have great deep detail overlapping with the maple.

The second was the incuse maple, I really thought the incuse would be a bit more dramatic, but it's still a pretty cool effect so I had to add a couple more to the stack.

Overall is was a fun show, but once again quite small with only 5 other coin vendors, it was a mixed stamp show as well so there was lots of stamp vendors.

Next week I'm heading down to the big city for the Toronto Coin Expo. That's always a very big show. And I'm sure I'll be buying more than we sell for sure. There is always so many great items for sale and actually a few other bullion vendors. It doesn't help that we share our table with our friend John from Beaver Bullion. It's going to be an expensive weekend and I'm sure I'll have some exciting scores to share with everyone.

The stackitis is raging!
