The amount of activity we are doing is furious. Within the first 2 hours we had sold a record amount of coins which broke every expectation we had of this up and coming show. The dealer to dealer activity is as busy as I have ever seen at any size show. We are paying VERY strong money for any PQ for the grade coin we can get our hands on. If you are reading this and thinking about bringing your PQ coins to the show we urge you to do as we have a large checkbook waiting for your coins NOW, we want first shot at your coins and are willing to pay top dollar for your coins. Don't miss out.

I have just turned 3 people away while writing this so I will have to end this message to service all of our customers.

stay tuned...............

    the general public has been let in and it is a MADHOUSE. Everyone seems to be coming to our table and spending huge amounts of money. We are buying tons of NEWPS NEWPS NEWPS. We will be spening so much time over the next week on imaging and writing up descriptions on our NEWPS.

    I can say we have spent more than anyone at the show and the crowd knows it! They just keep bringing all the top 5% of the grade PQ coins to our table since all the buzz around the room is we are paying more than anyone.

    WOW


    stay tuned...............

    And also fresh from the Pasadena coin show. Saw JBSteven and as advertised, it was an active bourse. I was looking for a '96 orig. roll of silver eagles but there was not one on the floor. Was also looking at slabbed, unc indians and saw a few, not more than 10 slabbed ms coins. Did see a $5 '09 o and the guy let me look at the o for a minute. It was a good o. Man, coulda had it for 8 k's but had to pass. I mean, they are nice but pretty strong.

    Saw a a couple of 4 digit transactions, both from the same place, one for a want list and one for gold, he had 'em standing in line. Plenty of activity. Saw $1000 paid for some early currency by two different guys at the same place...standing in line there as well.

    Wanted to see if there were some slabbed ms65 fs war nickels but none jumped out at me and I didn't see any. Showed a guy my chopped trade and we talked about it for a minute and he reached back into the goody bag and drug out his...had 12 chops and a nice coin. He said it was unc. and I challenged if any chopped trade could be unc., by virtue that it has not only been handled, it has been CHOPPED! His opinion is that they never openly circulated and therefore there can be uncs. But I'm learning so we can just have two opininons and I can't totally discount his. So, an interesting visit to a nice show.

  • MadMartyMadMarty Posts: 16,697 ✭✭✭
    You should see it, dealers are buying a boatload of PQ coins here in MI at 15% back of MS60 money, chartering flights and hand delivering to Jason....
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    Just got back from the Pasadena Coin Club Show a while ago, and it actually was pretty busy for a Friday after T-Giving. The Show coordinator told me late in the afternoon that they had over 300 customers registered at the entrance.

    Saw Jason Stevens, DizzleCC and Loan Shark (and Loan Shark Jr.) while at the show. Rumor has it that once again Louis and I failed to hook-up with one another, even though we were both there (I was there from 2:00-6:30pm).

    Although I did not find any of the coins needed for my Morgan Registry Set, I did purchase about 5 nice quality budget priced NEWPS including the following Morgan and Peace Dollars:

    1882-O SEGS MS-62 (Lustrous Semi-PL) Morgan
    1898 PCGS MS-64 Morgan (Looks like a 65)
    1921 NGC MS-63 Morgan (Slightly PL)
    1922-D NGC MS-64 Peace (Great circular Obv Die Crack from "L" in Liberty at 10:00 through bottom of portrait to "T" in Trust at 5:00)
    1925 NGC MS-63 Peace (Beautiful golden Luster with "MS-65 Look")

    By the way, I am planning to purchase a new digital camera (Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ20), so it will be a while before I will be posting new images of my NEWPS and some DUPES which I will be offering for sale via the BS&T Forum either late in December or early in January .

    I had a whole lot of fun for a reasonable amount of money -- pretty good bang for the bucks!! image

    Bring some elbow pads. I had to get agressive with some elderly women while I was there. They were after the Steven's toned coin collection. I had moved up to fourth in line and a couple slipped under my arms after that it was on.

    After missing out due to people buying in hoards. I made one purchase at another table a nice 1903 morgan in ms64. I had to break a couple of commandments getting it from the throng of people but it was worth it.

    Morgans and gold were being heavily traded with high turnover.

    The buzz toward the end of the evening was anticipation towards the next show in houston in January.

    Yes, I did use experience in drafting to obtain my purchase.

    The key was being there to help the dealer set up his case. ok, I held the glass as he was putting the coins out. It wasn't glorious but I did get first shot.

    OK, we have been up half the night with all the NEWPS we purchased yesterday. We got 3 hours sleep last night but our customers DEMAND we be there for them. I even heard a few dealers are flying in to take advantage of our top prices paid for PQ, high end fresh to the market coins.

    If you have any coins for sale you better be at the show today and early! We will be leaving late today since we have such a busy travel schedule for all the upcoming CRAZY WHITE HOT AUCTIONS that are coming within the next few months.

    stay tuned.............

    JASON:
    Mornin dude image I want to thank you for your help yesterday and the time you spent looking at some of my junk. Sonny was a good help as well. pm me later in regards to the plates you are looking for. I'm going to keep the CA's for now- but I have others that I should pull out and look at- check out the bay you would be AMAZED at some of the prices they are asking for image

    It was enjoyable meeting a few of the members there. I do believe some of the 2x2's that I saw were out of line, but that is what the game of dickering is all about- and to agree- it was a madhouse with some of them ol' ladies at the tables- they were downright mean ol buggers at times image

    The wife said I had my fun yesterday so today it's back to the chores of fixin the cedar chest and making the case to hold my good coins.

    If anyone is interested I do custom woodwork on small objects like coin cases, bookshelfs, etc. no pine or plywood- strictly exotics. Laterimage

    with a small break in the action my coin buyers got a chance to smile for the camera. These guys are the BEST buyers of NEWPS in the business. Looks like they are calling their want list customers. The boss is happy.

    Jason: I'm still licking my wounds that occurred at the Pasadena Show yesterday when I tried to fight my way through the hoards of buyers who were battling to purchase white hot NEWPS at your table yesterday.

    I may have recovered enough to come back to the show on Sunday, if you think that there will be any coins left at all... image

  • mhammermanmhammerman Posts: 3,769 ✭✭✭
    Yea!!! for the Pasadena show! Over the hump with my SAE's finally. I found and purchased an orig. roll of 96's, the key roll. They are hard to find. Now I need to start looking for some nice boxes for the roll set, not much farther to go.

    The show was great! there were plenty of coins there so no one should be moanin about not having anything to look at. I saw one of those poured chinese ingots in the form of a bowl, stamped and all, there today and may snag one next time we cross paths because they are fairly cool except this one was selling as an antique. The morgan hunters were active and are fun to watch, but im afraid the indians have escaped again. The prices for ms slabbed indians are beyond where I am comfortable with for that series and the good stuff is getting sucked up like a vacuum with a big V (I suspect by dealers). There is NO undergraded material in the indians that I could witness. So, glad I got a fair number of my tribe assembled before the rest escaped. Maybe I will get a chance at a stray from time to time. Seems like paper currency was getting a fair amount of attention. Was kinda looking out for draped bust $10 gold just because I like looking at 'em but didn't see any.There was a lot more dealer to dealer activity yesterday, I didn't see any of that today.

    There were some board members there and we got to greet and chat a little. A very nice show with plenty of activity and material, particularly if you liked modern and morgans but seemed everything from paper to gold was getting plenty of interest. Some buzz about the show in January but in in reflecting on this show, I believe that coins will continue to be getting more expensive so be savin' up. If I wasn't afraid to think it, I would say that it looks like we're going to the moon again so hold on to the rocket.

    Nice show today. Not too crowded,good selection, friendly folks.
    I enjoyed seeing some of the coins like: a 1907 high-relief wire rim Saint MS 66, WOW!!!
    Also a nice `32 D Washie slabbed AU58. Very nice coin.

    Great to see JB, Louis,and Norm (deadhorse) as well as a few other local dealers I know, Jeff and Bud
    Great to chat with all you guys. Wished you could have stayed longer Louis. Barely got a chance to
    chew the cud with you, but i know, when your starving nothing matters but finding something to eat.
    I cant blame ya for that.

    It was good to see some board members. I had spent a few hours there yesterday so I didn't feel like hanging around for too long.

    I enjoyed the show and sold a bunch of stuff.

    The highlight of the show for me was meeting Jeff Todd, owner of Collectors Coin Shop in Bellaire. 713-952-2646. This dealer even went as far as to offer to show the currency I had to another dealer for a possible sale. Unfortunately, he was already gone. I did want to pick up a couple toners for the only other person interested in coins in my area, but I couldn't find any.
  • LouisLouis Posts: 3,687
    What kind of toners were you hunting for unclewiggly ? jbstevens had a table there and had some nice toners.

    Jeff and Bud are good people. I,ve gotten alot of nice stuff from em.
    Highly recommended.
    Also not present was Mike, another of the Collectors Coins staff.
    Mikes also a very friendly and knowledgable guy and a pleasure to deal with.
    He must have been back home holding the fort down.

    I've got some spare time today, and thought that I'd make it down to the Pasadena Coin Club Show for a couple of hours this (Sunday) morning.

    I'll wear my PCGS Forum Pin and Name Badge in case any of you other forum members also happen to be there and would like to get together for a visit. I may also bring some duplicate Morgans with me to swap or sell while there.

    I hope that you are all having a great Thanksgiving Holiday weekend with your families!
