1960NYGiants

Attended the Willimantic show today. Every table was occupied and traffic on the bourse was steady from 10am to 2pm. There were 5 dealers only darkside, 2 dealers only farside, with the remainder evenly split between liteside and paper (though many had a small selection of darkside).

Three dealers had nice selections of Conders. I bought the Australian piece pictured below from Bob Moffat @ $28.

Canadian material was in short supply. I brought home 6 coins. Bought the only two Canadian large cents I saw that were RB UNCs, a 1901 + 1903 both should go 63, the pair for $98. Also picked up a nice 1955 50c, $16, that should go 64/65.

The 1837 Canadian City Bank 1d token below was offered to me on the bourse floor. It's a nice AU piece that I snatched for $90.

My final purchase was a Philipines 1904 Peso in AU condition but very lightly cleaned, paid $70. Still trying to get a good pix of the piece.

I love the Eye Appeal of the Bank Token!

That bank token is common in ugly but quite scarce in higher grades.
