Good for you, topstuf.
how was the turkey?
I've bought a few coins that turned out to be turkeys. They were'nt red either.
Keep up the excellent posts and please do update us on more coin show reports....

Available material was okay as I ended up with about two-thirds of a double row box of new purchases.

You need the whole turkey (ie the collection of turkey parts) for it to be a significant turkey purchase worthy of discussion here.

I settled myself at the dealer's table and he asked how he could serve me and I told him that I had some "stuff" but that he could finish dealing with the customer whom he had already drawn from the crowd. As he was involved with his prior client, another coin show denizen sat down next to me and inquired if he could look at my Library of Coins Lincoln Cent album. I informed him as politely as was possible that he would be welcome to peruse said album .......AFTER........ Mr. Dealer had looked at it as it is my policy to try to complete transactions with those with whom I have opened a conversation in preference to queering the whole deal by inserting a "looky lou" into the equation while preparations are being made. As it turned out, Mr. Dealer told me that Mr. Looky was a regular customer and he didn't mind if I showed it to him. So I retracted my glare from Mr. Looky and told him that apparently a new paradigm applied and he would be welcome to peruse the set, which he did after glaring back with a "who the hell do you think YOU are" gaze. It seems Mr. Looky was under the erroneous assumption that I would have full red MS67 Lincolns in a LOC album and after a brief perusal, handed it back to me with a haughty exclamation.
Time proceeded to pass and in the course of natural events, Mr. Dealer completed his initial transaction and looked at my meager pile and exclaimed "oh...REAL coins" and proceeded to match my asking prices on the Liberty Cap half cent, the 1877 IHC, the CC gold, and a few other minor widgets. However, his attitude toward the set of Lincolns matched Mr. Looky's (and mine) and serious "negotiations" commenced involving an exchange of snide but humorous jabs and counterpunches and finally a coin flip. However, bearing in mind that the key coins in the album were all either cleaned or damaged and were but a remnant of a collection I had purchased over the counter prior to my retirement which required me to buy that POS in order to proceed to the GOOD coins, our settled negotiation left us in a position where I was very happy and possibly came out if not better off than the new owner, at least relieved in having shed my possession of them.
I am now in a position to purchase several hundred more turkeys and will now have the time to prepare a more comprehensive post on the forum to those who thirst for more information than was included in my intial contribution to the thread yesterday.
If you require more details, please PM.
