    There was a report about an earlier Las Vegas show, but I haven't seen anything about the current one.

    Someone shared a grade privately with me from that show and then I saw someone post grades from that show on IG but that's it, no reports.

    It was very slow on the bourse but the auction did well.

    I heard the auction set quite a few records. That was good news. The small spaced boarse floor as slow as I've seen.

    Just arrived home. Yes, the auction went well but there were very few dealers in attendance. Everyone was practicing safe distancing and wearing their masks.

    The emptiness of the town really struck me. I expected to be accosted by zombie hoards at any moment.

    Here are a few photos from the trip.




    Q: When does a collector become a numismatist?



    A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.



    A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.

    These have been one of my favorite shows to go to, but the airport has never looked like that before on any of my trips. I'm glad that the show was held, but I bet the atmosphere was very subdued.

    I just lost a former coworker to this virus a couple days ago, and she was my age (< 60). This damn thing is for real, and the severity level is different for everyone. I'll look forward to going back when science says it's ok.

    I had a dozen Morgans on my watchlist, and got blown out on all but two, and I thought I was making crazy high bids. Here are the two I won. The 1879 S was so unusual I had to have it. I love the toning pattern on the 1899 O as well.

    1899 O PCGS MS64+ CAC

    If I had been bidding on Morgans that "chinstrap" 79s would have been a target, it is so way out there in its toning pattern. congratulations on the wins.

    there were some amazing coins in that Civil war set too.
