I spent all of two hours at the show Friday, starting when the doors opened.
I visited Chief coins first. This was the guy who a year ago sold me an 1850 shilling and a BU 1882 sixpence. He had only one long box of British. He told me he sold $8,000 worth of his British coins to a British dealer named Smith at the FUN show. He has not had time to accumulate any more material since that time. I bought three rather ordinary coins from him, all coppers.
Next I went to Larry's coins. I spent almost all of my money on his stuff. He did have a pretty decent selection including some new material.
I was able to find a couple of decent coins onesy-twosy but nothing much of note. I did latch on to a 1932 penny with lustre, very hard to find.
There was one dealer who has the same 1887 gem BU farthing for sale for $95 that I saw at the monthly show eight years ago. He has never cut the price and there it still is.
Overall, it was a pretty miserable show. I'm glad I hit up Chief when he had his stuff - it's all gone now.

Digipics. I'm still learning how to do them.
Still, some very attractive pieces, Wybrit!

Hey Farthing, was that you by chance at Shakespeares around 1130?
As it was I was able to scrape together a few coins needed. I did find a nice looking 1922 maundy 3d and a 1902 maundy 3d that was misattributed as a circ. The highlight was a 1919 BU error farthing with stated brockage, however after more study I don't think it is since it does in fact have a reverse strike where the error is. Its almost like an indented error about the size of the obverse bust in about the same shape. In any event it gives me something to track down.
The wife found a single coin to add to the world toned collection, a beautiful splash of colors on a Polish 1923 5 Groszy.
Time was just shy of 2 hours.
