Hi Everyone!

Over 50 years ago, the Whitman Expos Coin and Collectable Expo came to Baltimore. And recently given our proximity to some very large metro areas, and our great Convention Center, this buyers and sellers meet-and-greet have been three times a year occurance.

It features a lot of coins, but this medal dating back to the 1700s, is worth over a half a million dollars. Collectables are a big deal.

We were joined this morning by Michael Pfeiffer, of Whitman, and John Kraljevich a reknowned numismatist. A coin expert. 

But also an expert in much more. 

This collectable thing is a big deal. Old maps, Jewelery, or as John, (left in the picture), said, anything you might think is valuable may just be.

The show starts tomorrow and runs through Saturday. Here is the specific Baltimore page from the Whitman website for more info. https://expo.whitman.com/baltimore-spring-expo/schedule/ . 

With a valid the ID the expo is free. John added don't be afraid to bring something you may want to find a buyer for, or bring pictures and at least make some contacts.

Marty B!
