Annual Ocean City Coin and Currency show this weekend
WELCOME WINE FEST
By Kara Hallissey Staff Writer (Sept. 30, 2016) Unique coins and currency will be showcased this weekend in the Ocean City convention center on 40th Street during the 14th annual OC Coin and Currency show. The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. Admission is free. At least 30 vendors will be available to buy, sell, trade or appraise coins. “There is a lot of history with confederate currency from the Civil War and colonial notes from the Franklin time period in the 1700s,” Promoter Carl Ostiguy said. “Stop in and look around. There is a lot to see including museum quality pieces. It is a great hobby.” The event will feature currency from shipwrecks, large and small sized coins, early American to colonial and treasure coins. Vendors and dealers will also feature coins and currency from all over the world. “There is a lot of people looking to buy, and it’s very educational,” Ostiguy said. “There will be gold, silver and platinum. Old money from back in the day.” Older coins used different mixtures of precious and semiprecious metals making their value higher. Coins from 1964 and earlier are generally worth more than face value. Hundreds of people are expected to
come out to the convention center this weekend for the show, which is hosted by the Salisbury Coin Club. Make sure to check out the half-price bins. Dealers can price out coins and currency or attendees may choose to sell their collections and pieces. For more information, contact Ostiguy at 443-623-7025.
