The Chelsea Coin Show for May 23, 2010

Typically, a couple dozen dealers come to Richard Michalewicz's Chelsea Coin Show. Month after month, you greet familiar faces and make new friends. Most people in America collect American coins and you find a lot of that here. But we find other interests, so world, ancients, paper, tokens, and more are always bought and sold. Books are big here with Chuck Avery and Joe Falater present. Among Joe's wares was the new book World War II Finance: Canada and Newfoundland by Dick Dunn, Dan Freeland, and Harold Kroll.
As a writer, my collecting interests tend to be broad and shallow, but I was able do business with Richard Michalewicz, Chuck Sharpe and Fred Beksa. Even so, I enjoyed meeting Hanna Reid (New York City Coin Exchange and hostess for the Redford Coin Shows). I also met Ron from Black Hat Coins, a former collector who now buys his dealer table to find new homes for his silver dollars. I had to wait to say hello to Larry Swisher and Rich Parsons as they were fairly busy most of the morning.
Chuck Avery of Grand Rapids is a regular at MSNS conventions.
Joe Falater of Allen, Michigan, is a second-generation dealer.
