Baltimore report, darkside style!

Yesterday, my wife and I went to the Baltimore show and took little Randi along for her first show. She came home with an abundance of Canadian Double Dollar sets. I'll be cracking the silver dollars out for slabbing for her registry set.

I bought my wife the first gold coin for her 20th Century gold type set. It's a 1908 2½ dollar in AU.

For myself, I picked up three circulated Barber halves for the raw set, including the 1892-O, 1894, and 1895.

The first forum member I met was Barry. It was a pleasure meeting him. Then Goose 3 stopped to say hi with his son. His son got to pick a slabbed coin from a handful I brought along to giveaway.

The show itself seemed to be pretty lively with a lot of apparent sales happening.

I did manage to find one more 1966 HNS Gobrecht medal in silver.

We had lunch with a handful of forum members.

Then it was back to the show. I proceeded down to the PCGS table and renewed my Platinum membership and immediately submitted my eight freebies. Only one modern on the whole bunch, a 71-D Ike.

It was a pleasant day with great friends and we enjoyed ourselves.

OK, Pictures of the coins I got for Randi.
