Road Report

On a surprisingly foggy morning Team CRO headed out to Devens with admittedly modest expectations.

How come? Several reasons:

1. It’s suddenly full blown summer here, and everyone is out and about boating, swimming, biking, golfing, etc.
2. I had already heard from some of the localish dealers that they would not be here for this installment.
3. Ditto some of our local customers.

So I honestly thought we might be sitting in a quiet room doing very little business today.

But I am pleased to say that I was utterly and completely wrong about that, since most every dealer missing was seemingly replaced by some new guy(s), and collector attendance was excellent.

Including some long time customers, and some new people we’d never met before. Including one gentleman who was impressed that we filled out the price stickers on the back of each coin in pen (as opposed to pencil, I guess), thus indicating to him that our prices were not subject to rapid, random or frivolous changes. I have to admit in 20+ years of doing this I’d never heard anyone mention that before, but of course at CRO we are always ready to learn something new.

In addition to that educational opportunity, business was robust, and we bought and sold coins from start to finish. Including some fancy colonials and high grade gold coins that never made it to the website. Which once again illustrates that we never know what will happen, and we pretty much have to be everywhere all the time lest we missing something good.

Speaking of something good, we’ll have plenty of such things on our next EB going out this coming Tuesday.

So, as we always say, you might want to keep and eye out for that.
