Atlanta ANA NEWP and Show Report

asheland · February 29, 2020 4:00PM

This was a last minute decision as a friend invited me to ride along to the show. It’s about 3 to 4 hours away from me.

It was a pleasant ride it started out snowing in North Carolina but was clear and nice the rest of the way.

I met @amwldcoin at his table. I heard other members were there but unfortunately I didn’t meet anyone else. I did see Julian at his table briefly.

A few random pictures:

I saw a lot of really cool stuff.
They were giving out elongated cents made for this show. I noticed they were mostly zinc Lincolns, I dug around and found a copper one and to my surprise, it was my birth year!

Anyway, I had a very limited budget so I wanted my purchase to pack in a lot of cool for my money. I was almost through the entire show and was starting to think I might leave empty handed until I found it!

It’s not a coin I need, but I like it a lot and love the holder. VERY high end for the grade I promise you!

Gold on gold!

Not the best show report, but I hope you all enjoyed it.

Sweet quarter eagle!

asheland · February 29, 2020 4:06PM

I overpaid for the quarter eagle.
I actually paid slightly over 64 bid for it. I normally pass on prices that much higher, but I had to have this one.

The 1903 quarter eagle looks very undergraded by present standards....... Thumbs up!

Best, SH

Smudge · February 29, 2020 4:11PM

Thanks for the report. Nice coin too.

Walkerfan · February 29, 2020 4:12PM

Oh, MAN!! I'm jealous!!

That quarter eagle looks really CLEAN and the NGC #3 is my FAVORITE holder!!

asheland · February 29, 2020 4:14PM

I’m very happy with it! The holder is MINT.

Winchester1873 · February 29, 2020 4:32PM

Nice coin! It looks like that holder hasn’t had a hand on it since the late 80’s or early 90’s! Well done!

ironmanl63 · February 29, 2020 4:36PM

Very nice looking coin!

USMarine6 · February 29, 2020 4:47PM

Looks 2 points undergraded for sure

1northcoin · February 29, 2020 4:47PM

Thanks for the report , photos, and sharing of that impressive find.

USMarine6 · February 29, 2020 4:48PM

BTW your show report sucks but your coin doesn't. Lol

BryceM · February 29, 2020 4:55PM

Very nice gold. I love that look.

Tom147 · February 29, 2020 5:04PM

I have to agree. Undergraded

asheland · February 29, 2020 5:06PM

Thanks everybody!

Coin Finder · February 29, 2020 5:12PM

Freakin nice for a 63!

Boosibri · February 29, 2020 6:55PM

Should regrade 64/65 or gold sticker

savitale · February 29, 2020 8:36PM

Within reason, you can't overpay for a coin you love. Beautiful coin!

If anything is done to the coin, it'll be stickered as this is one of my all time favorite holders. I believe it would gold sticker no question.

DrBuster · February 29, 2020 9:25PM

Nice pickup. Got a few things myself.

Yes, I agree with this. I think you did well buying an under-graded coin in a type 3 fatty for a little over 64 money. You should go for a gold CAC sticker.

hchcoin · February 29, 2020 9:49PM

That is a beautiful gold coin. Wow.

SkyMan · February 29, 2020 10:51PM

Nice looking coin. Congratulations on the Newp!!!

Paradisefound · February 29, 2020 11:05PM

I believe most had to have that one too so you score a wonderful find.....she looks under graded to me.
Thank you for the show report and say HI to Penny

Nice little report asheland and a super nice looking Quarter-Eagle, spectacular coin!

ms70 · February 29, 2020 11:52PM

Your quarter eagle looks fabulous! Enjoy!

ricko · March 1, 2020 6:01AM

That is a very nice gold coin... and I think it would definitely make 64, maybe a + as well...Thanks for the report, Cheers, RickO

amwldcoin · March 1, 2020 7:33AM

That looks like a lock gold CAC @asheland . Nice grab!

I saw you from across the room @amwldcoin . Didn't get a chance to say hi. I had no idea you cleaned up so well. Nice suit dude.

markelman1125 · March 1, 2020 12:53PM

Looks Ms 64 if you ask me, nice score 👍

shorecoll · March 1, 2020 12:57PM

I am also in the undergraded camp.

steveben · March 1, 2020 1:32PM

63?

Downtown1974 · March 1, 2020 1:44PM

That QE is fantastic! Definitely a candidate for a bean.

asheland · March 1, 2020 6:40PM

Thanks everyone!

divecchia · March 1, 2020 11:39PM

Nice show report and photos. Most of all congrats on the QE find, she is a beauty for sure. I bought a 64 QE last week and this one looks as good.

I’m happy with it and I’ve wanted a gold coin in the gold foil NGC for a while now so it’s a double win for me!
