I didn't see any Perth Mint specials. I was there for two days from 9 am - 3pm so surely I would have seen them! There was a ANDA special stand right near the entrance where you can buy the 3 show specials. Another one nearby where Belinda Downies shows off her ultra expensive items and RAM's special stand at the far end with the 5c forage table. The rest were dealers and the usual bullion guys selling bricks of silver and gold.

Yes there was a silent auction table with bidding sheets where you can write your name and bid amounts for each of the 1-10 numbered Vietnam War and Queen PNC. As you can expect, the #1's has the highest bids but the rest also attracted several each. Mostly from the same 2-3 people. When I left at 2:30pm on Sunday the highest bids were around $300 or so for #1 others weren't that outrageous. Like $50 for Vietnam for example. #8 was more expensive than others I can't help but notice. Because you can see all the previous bids the logical thing to do is to show up at 3:55pm on Sunday to bid. One guy was very keen and put down $300 even though the previous bid was only like $50-70ish.

The 5 cent forage table attracted bit of a crowd throughout the day. As I don't have a child with me I was not allowed to participate. I will have to borrow one next time.

There were a lot of "children" at the table who did not at all look like children. You would have blended right in.

Agreed. I am almost child size anyway.
