Good Morning All,
I had a fun time in Philly the past three days. I saw a number of C4 f=
riends and dealers (C4 dealers are friends too of course!). This conventio=
n, C4 had a club table provided for free by the good people at Whitman.
We had it staffed almost all the time and signed up 4 new members! C4 had =
a full page advertisement in the convention program too. Mike Demling rele=
ased his book on NJ Coppers and I had to buy a copy. Also, Charlie Davis h=
ad Syd Martin's book on Rosa Americana coinage too. I bought my copy. Thi=
s will be my working copy. Something to pencil in notes and such. I'll ge=
t another copy to keep in good shape at some point down the road. Now I ha=
ve to get Syd to sign the book for me. I don't know why I like signed book=
s, but I do, especially when they're authored/edited by friends.=20=20
David Rittenhouse showed up at the Convention! Whitman has had reenact=
ors for each of their conventions, and very historically well informed too.=
I enjoyed the presentation and talking to him afterwards too. Len Augsbu=
rger (C4 member) and Joel Orosz interviewed Rittenhouse and the whole event=
was entertaining and educational at the same time.=20=20
Stack's Bowers held a multi day auction and the reports from C4 friends=
are exciting. I can't wait to see their coins. I don't know if this was =
the last of the Mike Ringo coins or not. I saw Vicken at the Stack's table=
, between him running here and there. Ya know... I don't want to seem lik=
e an old timer, but... I knew Vicken when he was in High School. He was a=
wonderful young man then, and grew into an upstanding adult. Actually, I =
knew John K and Mike W when they were in High School too, and look how good=
they turned out as adults! Life is too short to not surround yourself wit=
h good people. From my viewpoint, the colonial community is composed of 99=
% good people... people I enjoy being around. If you're a colonial collec=
tor and haven't yet attended a C4 function, you're missing some good camara=
derie.
I gave a talk at the convention "Treasure Under Your Feet", about metal=
detecting and many aspects of it. I brought a machine and many coin finds=
to display. I think it went well. Plenty of questions and there were a c=
ouple other well-seasoned detectorists there that added to the fun. Now th=
at the talk is behind me, I can sell the gold and silver while the metal ma=
rkets are high. Thinking of it, The folks at Whitman are just the most won=
derful! Whether it's helping me with the club table, technical help with t=
he talks, just very friendly & accommodating people. We have had a great r=
elationship with Ed Aleo and the Bay State Show these past 14 years (soon t=
o be 15), and I will miss working with him. But at the same time, I look f=
orward to working with David Crenshaw and Dennis Tucker and all the staff a=
t Whitman, when C4 has it's convention here in Philly in 2012. This Boston=
Convention will be our farewell to Boston and with the events in the sched=
ule, it'll be one you don't want to miss.
Real quick... Got to get to church... After I go to conventions, I alw=
ays check the Road Report that John Agre writes about the conventions he at=
tends. It's always a good read! Check it out:
