Parsippany, NJ Coin Show Report, NEWP Flowing Hair Dollar!

AnkurJ

Today was the monthy Parsippany Coin Show in NJ. I arrived around 9:15 and the place was packed with people. Eveywhere you looked, people were trying to sell silver and gold to dealers. There was a wide spread of offers from $2 under to 50 cents under. I sold a total of 30 ounces for around 50 cents under spot. People were speculating where the prices will go. There was some definte hesitancy from some dealers to buy bullion, and I can't blame them! Its amazing how different dealers offer such different amounts for the same thing.

My goal at this show was to sell 30 ounces of silver which was a success, and to look for some Baltimore newps. The silver I sold was for a little less than I would have wanted, but it was just sitting on the BST. I saw some decent early type, which seems to be in high demand, but prices seemed high compared to other sources I have seen. 1700's early type with issues were still sitting for months even though they had been discounted. I spent a total of $6 at the show for lunch!

One dealer I was hoping would be there was Steve Sabatino aka SLQ coins. I recalled at the last show he has a nice PCGS F15 Flowing Hair dollar that looked untampered with, and I was hoping to trade mine with cash or other trade for his. Mine was a NGC VG10 and was probably cleaned at some point in time. After talking and discussing, I traded him my VG10 dollar, a 1855 PF 62 Flying Eagle pattern for his PCGS F15 dollar, some cash and a $5 gold commem (which I turned into cash at the show). The coin has a nice gray patina which shows it hasnt been tampered with. There are a few marks here and there, but nothing major. Overall I was happy with the trade and am thrilled to upgrade to a nice looking coin. Steve was very easy to deal with and I will make sure to deal with him again.

Board members I saw at the show were Seaeaglecoins, The Fonz and Kiushu (spelling?), and DaveG for a second. I missed oreville, but hope to see him next month.

Here is my new Flowing Hair Dollar. There is some glare from the OTT light.

Thats the great thing about Parsippany. There are always an amazing array of coins available, that I feel no need to go to big shows.

I saw that exact VG10 at the show, and it was my favorite Bust Dollar there, even compared to AU examples.

Here is Steve's website for those who don't know about it. He has a great eye for quality. On my computer...the listing are pretty spaced out in the inventory section, but the coins are worth a look at.
