I'm back from the show, with only about $100 in purchases but I did get to meet some forum members finally! I met Becoka and Poorguy, each one at their tables. They both seemed really nice, and had a good selection, too. It was cool to see some of the Anaconda coins up close and personal (like the NGC 66* Bay Bridge-- WOW)
I decided to pay off my new Dell laptop instead of buying coins, which was a boring as hell choice, but I still feel ok about it. Here's what I ended up getting:
For my 20-coin "One Oz silver coins of the world" collection I got a 1979 Mexican Onza, a 2001 Libertad and a 2003 Panda. The 1979 Onza is annoying: It's too large for the 41MM holders, yet the larger holders won't fit in my Lighthouse tray. Arrgh.
I also got a 1948, 1957 P&D Jefferson nickel, as well as a 1957 P&D Franklin halves, a 2008 Redbook and some assorted world money to take home to my nephew, who collects the stuff.
All in all it was a fun show! Nice meeting everyone!
