Perhaps the price is just too steep.
Is your conscience at rest if once put to the test?
You awake with a start to just the beating of your heart.
Just one man beneath the sky,
Just two ears, just two eyes.

Customers were walking in by ones and twos. I my self saw as many
as one customer at some of the tables. This market is still sizzilingly stagnant.
Dealers in desperation dragged a collective assortment of dull, dipped, scratched
but blast white gems that have been in stock for over 35 years. the total of dead stock
must have weighed in at almost 3 tons of metal. I saw Mark sweating and working furiously.
Saw MikePrinz squirrling away newps to smuggle back to his want list customers. Laura was zipping
around the floor in search of DIMPLE DOLLARS on all of her 16 cylinders. When Laura makes a dealer
an offer they cant refuse, they better not say no. Lauras threats of physical harm are not to be taken
lightly. Mike Defalco sold all of his stock to Laura and then spent the rest of the day looking in his
pockets for some kind of coins he could sell. There were nasty dealers and there were nice dealers.
Saw Rick Tomaska but he kept phasing in and out from the fourth dimension. You know
Length, width, hight and Deep Cameo. All you could hear was Rick calling out Frost, frosty, need frosty.
CC dollars are selling for double gray sheet ask, If you want a nice Barber quarter or half in Gem condition
you will have to mint them yourself. Not too much in the auction. Perhaps 10-12 coins of good value the
rest seem to be cast off bird droppings. Saw a lot of dealers selling their dogs so that they could buy the
other dealers cats. A lot of fluff, fuzz and feathers. Of course the Gray sheet will duly note that prices
remain firm and stable for the time being. Now lets get ready for the next episode of Bizarre World.

As for what the show seemed like, it did seem pretty empty. I did love looking at some of the really cool coins! I saw and held a gem red 1877 Indian Cent, and I was also really impressed with some fully struck ms66 41-s and 44-s Walkers I saw! Only if they had a nick or two to knock it down to 64 and my price range! I looked at the Lincolns in Superior's auction, and I really loved the 15-d, but don't have the money for it, and the same with the 65rb 23-s. I must have seen 3 or 4 65rb 23-s's at the show, and many 20-s's and others, so it really doesn't seem like 65rb Lincolns are rare. The 23-s in Superior's auction was the best though. As for 64rd Lincolns there were hardly any, and I bought the only three decent ones I saw at the entire show. Anyway, it'd have been nice if I had had more time to gaze upon lots of other cool coins and stuff besides mostly cents, but maybe some other time!
