    Didn't go today. Was there yesterday.

    I had 19 coins on my want list and bought four of them. Who knows how many thousand coins I saw to look closely (hold) at about twenty-five and to select these:

    1881- O MS 64 DMPL Morgan (at least as nice as the next coin)
    1882- CC MS65 DMPL Morgan
    Calif Commem MS65
    Pan Pac MS65
    1936 Ty II PF64 Cent

    Sorry, I'm currently not picture enabled.

    I couldn't find a 1916 quarter or 1942/1 dime or several of the other high grade keys on my list that met my requirements. I guess that's why they're on my list, THEY'RE TOUGH!

    I wouldn't say that the show was crowded at all. Only occasionally did I have to wait to see a dealer's stock. There were numerous nice conversations with dealers about fractional currency to confederate re-strikes, to obsolete literature, to this forum. All in all, it was a lot of fun and well worth the four hour drive each way.

    One interesting observation: When I was in the car heading home, I noticed that four of five coins I bought were NGC. The fifth was PCGS. When I was buying them, I had no conscious thought about whose slab they were in.

    Felt a need to reply to this statement I quoted.......Good for you!!! And I guess you made it home OK, and didn't wreck the car knowing you bought the coin rather than the holder?

    Absolutely Stman!! Tons and tons of great, accurately graded coins in holders other than PCGS. I second your commendation. I'm so happy to hear of a collector buying the coin - NOT the plastic.

    Actually, it would have been easy to wreck the car while looking at myself in those beautiful DMPL mirrors!

    Veep... I've learned looking at coins coming back from a show and driving don't go well together. I came close to a wreck once looking at a beautiful toned Walker while driving home. Same thing coming back from the Santa Clara show in November. I didn't almost get in a wreck..... but missed my turn for the Golden Gate bridge in SF. Took me an extra 2 hours to get home because I was looking at coins while driving. image
