Santa Clara coin show pickups

LanLord

I saw a 1913 Liberty head nickel today. Interesting, I want one, but doubt I'll ever actually have the denaro to afford one.

I also saw a booth where a guy had 5 (count them 5) 1916 SLQs - I want one of them too - this I can do with a little patience.

I did pick up:
1825 cent in EF
1807 large stars half dollar in EF
1839o bust half in VF
A 1964 Proof set with a pointed 9 dime and AH half (11 clams on this one - I don't wanna talk about how much the other cost)

Pretty good show, but they made you wear a large (4"X6") badge in the show and if you removed it the badge geshtopo would come and bust your chops - kind of stupid if you ask me.

very nice score. Congrads
I just pick up a 31 half capped bust today. he had a xf 39 half but it was a little more than I could afford and with a layaway on a 1917 type 1 SLQ.

Maybe this is common at coin shows, but 90% of the stuff on display are Morgan dollars, which I like, but some other people here think ms morgan isn't pretty.

When I saw Shania's photo in your sig line, I was going to congratulate you for the best pick up of the show... then I realized you were writing about coins.

1807 large stars half dollar in EF
1839o bust half in VF

Nice score with the other busty types, even if Shania wasn't one of them.
