But found none as usual. imageimageimage

A dealer buddy did let me take a shot of this to let you enjoy. Not the best photos as the lighting was terrible and I had the shakes. Cool Coin I think. He also had a 18/17 but my photos were the Pits on it.

The show was a busy place with the dealers commenting that thier inventories of coins was shrinking and not much material was around to replaced the inventory. Crowded by 11 AM which is a little unusual for this show. Collectors seemed to be buying if what they were after was present. Saw two board members that I knew for sure.

    That was my same experience at Tacoma a few weeks back.....And nothing to be found at the local coin stores, though I did find some in Downtown Portland but they were in the older holders and price on the high side for the grade...

    Nice 16! I would like one of those in ANY grade; even though, it is not a Merc.

    Just because I would like to own one--doesn't mean I can afford one. Maybe If I win the lotto???

    That was cool of the dealer to let you take pics of his coins. Thanks for sharing them. And, I see nothing wrong with those pics, dang good ones. I myself went to local dealers yesterday, with no luck on any material, not even a decent circulated dime. Seems things are getting dried up. Probably a good thing anyway, with Christmas just around the corner. I sure hope everyone has a great Holiday.image

    Oh I looked at a couple of Mercs but highly unusual restraint was used as they would have been duplicates again. image

    Dennis the Dealer is a Very Cool Guy. He is also on Ebay now as "vanrarecoin". Just a great dealer that really enjoys the Hobby as it should be. He knows how to Grade also. Big image

    Lucy:

    Yes !!

    Its Steve Jones from Vancouver Rare Coin. When you are in the area stop in and see him. Bald Guys....He has them. Many of Them. Watch his Ebay Auctions as he probably will start putting some of them up.

    We had a local show this weekend and I found a 20 p in 65fb that has a little tone around the edge. Pic is in my set below.

    also found 3 toned morgans that look purdy.

    We had a local show this weekend also . I picked up a 38-s Merc MS67 FB. But it has some toning on it. Why I bought it, I dont know. Must be the power of " Lady "
