"It is with regret that I have canceled my booth at the New York International scheduled for mid-January. The primary purpose of my setting up at that show has been to renew friendships and acquaintances with clients and colleagues from Europe and Asia. Several of those have already told me that they will not travel based on the possibility of having to quarantine in the States should they test positive while attempting to return home. Unfortunate - as we have recently purchased the ancient and foreign library of Spink and looked forward to offering the better titles in New York. At this point we have no intention of writing a catalogue but will add lots periodically to our numisbook.com (vcoins.com) web site."

I hadn't planned on attending shows in January, but it's shaping up to be a smaller turnout at FUN and NYINC. A number of people have canceled their plans. Even on our own street New Years celebration plans quickly went from inside to outside to canceled as the virus spread and affected more households. Here's hoping for a better rest of 2022. Stay well and stay in touch online, everyone, -Editor
