Should've gotten this yesterday, but UPS missed me by 15 minutes. I had to go to work. I'm gonna sit on the sidelines before I buy any more gold.

You know, I say the exact same thing right before I end up buying another one!😂
Nice cc DE, congratulations!👍

Why?
Because I got my 1892-CC and 1852-O $20's I just under a month and a half.
These were the top 2 out of 3 most expensive dates I wanted to get. Those ate up most of the the budget for this year.
I do want to add some more CC's and more somewhat common dates, but that will take a number of years to do.
Throw a coin enough times, and suppose one day it lands on its edge.

Picked up a few coins at the ANA national money show today, was a great show lots of wonderful coins!
I'm incredibly sad I didn't get to make it to the ANA show. I took off work to go on the first day, but I ended up staying home due to warnings about heavy snow and dangerous driving conditions on the way there. How did you like the show and how was the weather?

Too bad you didn't make it, I am fortunate to live 10 minutes from the venue and also had taken work off. While we did end up getting wet heavy snow measure in feet, it was above freezing both days and the main roads were wet, though don't standing water in the roads, my residential streets were terrible but all the main roads were fine. It may have been worse towards Denver, not too sure about that.
The show was great, nearly all the dealer tables were set up and well stocked with a great variety of coins, currency and bullion.
I find a handful of pieces I was looking for, the SLQ was one i need for my dansco set and a little lower grade but the color matched the rest of set so I couldn't pass it up. The Proof mercury also matches my registry set in terms of grade and color, and was a real nice coin in hand. There were a handful of others I was considering but I'm traveling internationally this week and due to the trip I had to stick to my lower budget. The coin displays did not disappoint, I was glad to see the finest known 1943 bronze cent and a few incredible large cents. The collector exhibits were nice, but nothing there was really an area of my expertise, lots of ancients and ancient gold, lots of currency. I didn't spend much time because I wanted to get in and go shopping. Here are some other pictures, I realized after leaving I didn't get any pictures of the bourse unfortunately. I was there early Thursday, attendance at the show was definitely lower than in the past for obvious reasons, but I left at about 2:00 Thursday and it was starting to get busier when I left. I will say the show did not disappoint and I hope everyone had a great time.
Another one for my Buffalo variety and error collection.

Obviously, great toning. Pricing was pretty good. Fairly decent branch hand with even a small stem split. Skirt lines OK for this issue. Eagles trailing leg shows some detail & better than many.

I love the coin pics while driving, it shows the kind of collecting commitment that we all strive for

Always wanted one of these. I had a colorful 10C, but no H10C. Won today in SB auction at a fairly good price.
Love these H10C’s - could put together a pretty decent Registry set but I need to buy a couple early ones first.

Not a coin purchase but a book. 🙂
One for the silver eagle collection:
I think he’s going to send it to SB for a Grif.
Big coin, lots of room for stickers.
