Madison show report (New G$1)

I went up to Madison WI this morning to go to the show. We picked up my grandfather (peace dollar collector) who had some nice freebies sent to my by board members (Thank you evp and WingedLiberty)
We got to the show and it was pretty nice. Pretty packed, there was lots washingtons and frankies and a suprising amount of patterns. Lots of $20 and $10 gold coins, and a bunch of mid to late 1800's proof coins. I was searching for drapped bust dimes and G$1s. I found many very nice flowing hair coins and some great bust coins but none were in my price range. I found a very pretty 1856 G$1 type 3 in NGC AU-58 and picked it up. It pretty much cleaned me out cash wise so I was done with buying for the rest of the show. Morgans as usual were pretty hot as well as Saints and seated material. Over all it was a very nice show with a bit over 20 dealers which packed the Sheraton's ballroom up to the brim. I'm trying to get pics of the G$1 now so it will be just a little while till you guys can see it.

Hi Kid! That was a nice little show. I bought a $2 1/2 indian that I already started a thread on and another thread I started because of a low-ball offer by a dealer. I seen the dealer that had all the NGC gold but I never got a chance to look it all over. I'll be waiting for a picture of your new coin. mike
