Marietta Show today

Went to the monthly show in Marietta Ga, kinda quiet. I saw a few empty tables, and the crowd was kinda lite while I was there. I guess everyone is saving up for Baltimore........ As I was kinda short on time, I made a quick run- thru, then met up with Wayne Herndon to pick up some coins he had submitted......we laughed over some of the grades, he gave me some very good advice so I don't send the junk like I did in my last 3 submissions...........although I did make some nice coins, I did waste a bundle. We talked about the up-coming ANA, and I drooled over some of the most amazing toned Morgans I have ever seen. He has them in colors ranging from a pinkish-gold to a brilliant sea green, and every color combination in between. He also showed me a really nice bust 25c that had some real pretty blue album toning......I was so mesmerized by the colors, I never even looked at the grades on most of them. Anyone going to Baltimore really needs to check out Waynes table............I just wish I had the $ to pick up a few of them. I did find another coin for my military commem set I am working on.......the 50c WW2. now I only need a couple more to be done........the $5 WW2 gold, the USO $1, and the 2 Civil War Commems(If I can ever decide if I want to include them in this display I'm making for the set).

    Sorry I missed you.

    I agree, Wayne has beautiful pieces. Spent about an hour with him today myself. That bust 25c is amazing. I was looking at commems and had a hard time concentrating because the colorful morgans were right below. Class act all the way.

    Jeff - sorry we missed you - Dahlonega and I were a couple of tables down from Wayne - we had a chance to visit with him for a bit - as always class act all the way. As for us - we had a great time - there was some buying and selling, but nothing spectacular... Of course - SOME PEOPLE did make some major purchases and had grins from ear to ear - but we won't discuss that at this point image

    Stop by next month!

    Regards,

    Frank

    Will really try to make it to Birmingham on Saturday, Sunday is gonna be busy, got a BHRG adoption in Buckhead, then back to Paulding, then out to Jefferson, then have a 650am flight out of Hartsfield monday morning. Wish I had had more time to browse and talk today, but after I left Marietta, I went home to Paulding county, then back out to Gwinnett.
