Re: What were your worst show experiences?
When I was much younger, I asked a dealer at a coin show if I could see a coin in his case. He said "No. You can't afford it." Actually, I had a lot of money and I could have very easily afforded it. I saw this dealer at many subsequent coin shows and I always just walked past his table.
Re: Saturday morning coffee with coins
Good morning Saturday crew. I'm with @Inspired70 ... hot, black and rich coffee tastes extra good this morning ... and the weather has been grand here on the Coast. Was out on the beach last night for the sunset into the ocean, and up early this morning watching the rise over the bay.
Lovely coins this morning @Inspired70 and @Copperindian That's a fantastic cherry @DCW And @Crag, WOW! That must have been quite a surprise. A large-sized FRN from the bank?! Bring that teller their favorite coffee!!
.
I looked back at my post last week, when I was down in CA, and realized what terrible quality the final image was ... the one's that showed the coins (of course)! I didn't realize how bad the tablet was for coin images. But I think the reel box made up for it! ![]()
Anyway, here's six of those ten coins again this week ... as I was enjoying the box one last time before it went back to the SDB today.
.
The first image is of the two OGH 1809's. Amazingly, these are same Die Marraige (but different Die States) ... the AU50 is the rarer 106.1 (r.4) and the AU53 is the more common 106.2 (r.2)
.
.
Next up is probably the finest 27-116 out there (all things considered) and an intoxicating 06-119 that had some of the most hideous auction images ever (the advantage of lot viewing).
.
.
Finally, the two coins that probably stop the most hearts, my 11-103 and 21-101a. My friend Lance @lkeigwin didn't want to let the 1821 leave his house when I visited him during my travels.
And for those interested ... yes, he looks really good and seems to be adapting to his new reality very well, all things considered. He was in pretty good spirits too, and we had a great evening chatting, having pizza and bourbon, and doing some show and tell.

Happy Saturday! ![]()

Good morning, a teller asked me if I wanted this note with my rolls yesterday.
And at a good price 👌

Post some random coin images if youd like to!
Lets enjoy the day by posting some of our own coins.
These coins are carefully placed in this box. They may not look like it but they are. These are all Morgans I have accumulated for my next grading batch which is going out next week. Hoping for some DMPL's and PL's.
I also have my ANACS photo grade coins in here. My Morgan book is in the safe. It’s time to dig it out and add a few loose purchases.
I love this hobby!
