This month, with the spike in gold and silver values on the commodities' market, people brought silver and gold for appraisal and to sell.
As expected, people talked and speculated about the metals' market and whether the values will continue to rise, become stationary or fall back.
As for the day, the weather provided a beautiful fall day with sunshine and temperatures in the low 50s in the morning and low 70s by mid afternoon.
On the floor, an interesting discussion occurred about three-cent pieces, in particular, the silver version versus the nickel coin.
The silver version, called a trime or a fish scale was minted 1851-1873. This was the smallest coin produced by the US Mint. One side contained a six-pointed star while the other showed a Roman numeral III inside a decorative "C." There were design variations through the years, but the main components did not change.

The Mint struck the nickel three-cent pieces 1865-1889. These coins, though still small, were larger than their silver counterparts in diameter, thickness and weight. Their designs differed, too, with Liberty on the obverse and a Roman numeral III inside a wreath on the reverse.
The silver trime is a favorite. If interested, the Red Book and online resources such as PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service) and NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation) show images of the coins and have discussions about their mintages, variations and rarities.
As an alert, we do have the dates for the 2026 shows, our 39th year. Please note, we will be at a new location next year. You can obtain a 2026 flyer at the show. Plus, we will update the web site, the newsletters and the recorded message with the new location details after the December show and before the January show.
Of course, we will finish out the 2025 year at our current location.
Now, let's take a look at just a few items from the show.

Dealers at the coin show bring other interesting vintage and collectible items to display and sell.
Our first example this month is a small collection of vintage coral necklaces.
From antiquesknowhow.com:
"Coral jewelry is made from the skeletal remains of tiny sea creatures called marine polyps. These little animals secrete calcium carbonate to build those intricate, branching structures found on the ocean floor.

"Coral jewelry is made from the skeletal remains of tiny sea creatures called marine polyps. These little animals secrete calcium carbonate to build those intricate, branching structures found on the ocean floor.
"What makes coral so rare is how incredibly slowly it grows - maybe a few millimeters per year - and it lives way down in the deep ocean where it’s tough to harvest. Plus, not all coral can be turned into jewelry. Only “precious coral” (mostly from the Corallium genus) has the right qualities for making beautiful pieces.
"Coral has been treasured for thousands of years across different cultures. For instance, ancient Egyptians buried it with the dead to keep evil spirits away, Romans put it on their kids for protection, and Victorians saw it as a symbol of good fortune.
"In Italy, red coral is believed to protect against the “evil eye” and help with fertility. This rich history is part of why coral jewelry is so collectible today, especially vintage pieces!"
A coral necklace would be a beautiful addition to a collection.
