A few years ago, coin dealers ranked Baltimore as America’s favorite city for numismatic conventions, thanks in part to how many of the United States’ coin collectors and dealers live within easy traveling distance of the city, and the ease and accessibility of the Baltimore Airport.

Recently, I spent three days immersed in the Whitman Coins & Collectibles Expo. It was the most dynamic convention I’ve been to in a long time. Action was nonstop. I spent most of my time in and around the Stack’s Bowers Galleries auction, not in the sale itself as much as outside in the lounge area talking with friends — dealers and collectors. This was quite a change from my normal time going to the bourse, which I was able to visit only briefly.
