Bellaire Coin Show

Cam40

was today and is tomorrow.I spent a few hours around noon there today. JB spotted me and we chatted a minute or so.
Sorry JB .I had to scope the floor and go eat before I passed out . I would have talked longer otherwise.Maybe next time
we,ll exchange life stories.


The coins I picked up I,m pretty happy with. 1912 S Lib 5c in fine.raw.light corrosion..was priced right I believe.
1934 P Peace Dollar raw in AU55-58 at a fair price. Love those Keys.
Also a few odd raw Jeffs to add to a close to complete set. Hey I,m a slow starter ok?

One highlight for me was seeing a couple of Lincoln errors. Both raw, `83 DDR ,and a `84 double ear.
...i may kick myself one day for not grabbing those then...glad I know the dealer and is local I guess..


Other stuff I picked up..a 1977 Redbook 30th edition for $3 and a grin.
some nic-0-date for that dateless S I had. I tryed on two dateless Buffs.The S is a `23 S and the other I had laying around
turned out to be a 1917.
That stuff really works.To bad your have to doctor the coin like that to get to the worn off date.

Need a price for a coin in 1977 ?

this show is in such a small place so it makes it look busier than it is. Not alot of fresh material (looking forward to Central States and TNA over the next 2 weeks) so I only bought 8 or so toned Bust halves and a few odds and ends. A noticable shortage of higher grade Morgans which I find strange. I will go back in the morning to scoop up a few more items and also to kick some tires a little bit.

I only saw one dealer with ANY toned Morgans and he has had those for awhile. None of the old timers want to buy the toned stuff, oh well.

I did pick up a 1795 toned Flowing hair half in VG that I will post photos of, if it is still around in a few days.

Hey, very cool, some Houston guys. I was there today as well. Picked up a nice pink/orange toned 55 Frankie. Got it from the guy with the toned Morgans.

Also grabbed a beautiful little golden toned 36 Merc in 65, maybe better from a guy with just a few items in a large display case. Got both at very good prices.

Going back tomorrow for a 28 Peace, looked at 3 of them, still trying to decide which one is coming home with me.

I saw some early `50s Proof Sets one dealer had.One had a nice CAM Washington in it. `52 I think.
Another had a nice CAM Frankie.
The rest were mostly non-CAM coins.

I might have to slurge...
