Just got back from the show. Many different dealers there this time. A few new ones from OH and PA. The floor was very busy. Not that many dealers who dealt in World Coins, but there were a few here and there. My purchases:

(12) Newfoundland and Maritines coins for my albums
Great Britain 1967 1/2d ANACS MS66 RED

Canada 1966 $1 MS63ish

France 1824D 5 Francs Louis 18th G

Swiss 1945 1 Franc BU

Swiss 1965 2 Francs BU

Roman Gordianus III (238-244 ad) AR Antoninianus gVF after a quick acetone treatment, the reverse green is gone

Parthian Artabands II AR Drachm Ecbatana Mint VF+


I have no idea if I paid too much for the Ancient coins. What do these coins usually sell for?

Great Britain 1967 1/2d ANACS MS66 RED

Was that the only British coin at the show?

ajaan

Not the only British coin at the show. I saw a 1697? shilling in VG. He wanted $150 for it. I didn't have any references handy so I didn't know if that was a decent price or not.

Nice pictures of the floor - I'm jealous !!

Any South African coins or Eliasberg gold ?

ajaan

No quality SA coins. Might have been some US Eliasberg gold, I wasn't really looking for it.

Nice pick ups ajaan.

Actually ANACS 66s used to be "scarce" for even modern Brit coppers...must be a very gemmy coin.
Hope the show was banging!

Udo

I see some dealers have tablecloths for their tables, I've never seen that in Germany!

Great purchases, Don!

Glad I didn't try to make this one, I would have been too late.
