Dan and I hit the Issaquah-Eastside show today. As usual, same dealers, mostly the same material we see at every show in this area. Nothing in my normal collecting sphere to buy, but I did pick up three pretty coins, so at least I didn't leave empty handed.image

    just curious Russ, how much, if any, premium did you pay for the colors, over what "ordinary" colored coins would cost in the same grades?

    Wow, I particularly like the purple Cent. What did you do, soak it over night in

    Welshes Grape Juice. I generally dont like copper, but I surely Love that "PURPLE PENNY".

    Baley,

    In order for me to know what "premium" I paid, I'd have to actually know what un-toned coins would sell for. I don't. I don't have any pricing information for stuff I don't normally collect. If I see something I like that I can afford, I buy it. These were all small dollar purchases.

    Nice coins, we have a small local show here tomorrow. Going to look for Frankies!!!
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

  • That 30 D is at least MS65- which is going for $115 in RD

    Neat coins Russ. I really dig the Lincoln. I was there today as well. Same dealers/inventory - it gets kind of old. I've seen the day coins at 10 straight shows. Yawn.....

    I almost picked up a nice orgirinal VF 1914-S Barber half, but I felt it was overpriced, so I passed.

    Always looking for original, better date VF20-VF35 Barber quarters and halves, and a quality beer.

    Dave,

    Yeah, I told the dealer with the Lincoln that I thought he was asking too much for it. He comes back with "why do you think it's too much". I came back with "because I'd like to get it for less".image We had a good chuckle, and he knocked $10 off the price.

  • That cent is WAY more awesome in person though. The camera (even as good as Russ is with it) doesn't (quite) do it the justice it deserves. It's almost eggplant purple.

    The Lincoln and Morgan are very nice, but I like the Jeff, and would have purchased it too.image

  • Russ,

    That Jefferson is fantastic. Nice buy. I like the Lincoln ; but, the mickle is really more eye appealing

    to me.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Buy the best you can afford the first time around.

    We are finite beings, limited in all our powers, and, hence, our conclusions are not only relative, but they should ever be held subject to correction. Positive assurance is unattainable. The dogmatist is the only one who claims to possess absolute certainty.
