Just a coin geek's report from the CSNS Show...

Hi guy's, Here's my short report.
Got there minutes before they opened (10:00) Stayed for approx. 5 -6 Hrs.
I don't know, too me the show wasn't exciting as I thought it would be. Maybe, it is just me? Anyway, Today wasn't the success visits as in the past couple shows. Sure, they can't all be winners for Cherrypicking individuals such as myself every time. No real great finds as to Quarters, Cents, Morgan's or even Proof Sets. I noticed Proof Sets were missing at many tables. Dealers just decided not to bring them along, I guess? So finding any "Close AM" varieties couldn't be found for the lack of their presence. Only one good Cherry I did find and that was a Walker 1945 "Missing Initials" NGC graded too! Also, a good eventful time talking with the King of Flying Eagles and Indian Cents, Rick Snow. Nice guy! He showed me a newly acquired coin of his. It was a PCGS 1858 FE MS 67. It was Beauuutiful. We were gabbing about a potential variety I found days before the Show.
It's an 1858 FE " Large Letters" DDO in "America". I forgot to bring to the show. I was trying to describe to Rick the Coin and if he thinks It is the real DD. I told him it looks doubled but also MD at the same time. He told me the bad news that if it doesn't have serif splits, it probably isn't the DDO in his book.
Oh well, here's the pic of my show find, the Walker.
One More Thing.. I did have a great lunch at the Hotel's Steak joint in a beautiful and cozy restaurant within the elegant Hotel. Mmmm! Also, You have to hand it to whomever decided to have the convention here. This Hotel in Schaumburg (The Renaissance) is certainly top notch. Some of the waterfalls there, indoors and outdoors, are worth more money than I spent on coins in my lifetime! Comfort is key in that lobby alright. I hope they keep the Central States there.

I paid only $40

Well, you had fun and did find something to buy. Remember too that you're not the only one looking.

This is true! I did miss the first day too, you're correct. Thanks

Something else I found out today at the Show. A table had a 1956p Washington Quarter in a PCGS Holder with the "B Reverse" Variety titled on the slab. It was a 66MS. I was wondering what his price would be. He told me, "It's listed for $250, but I'll give it to 'ya for $200". Just wanted to see the actual prices for these PCGS Varieties. Right now I have 4. The 1957, 58, 59 and the 62. All in the raw and all in BU Condition. I'm waiting to find the other 5 in BU to complete the Series. Seeing what crazy prices these go for, I'll be Slabbing all 9!
One More Thing... That's another item I couldn't track down today. Any of the remaining "B" Reverses to add on to the 4 I have now.

Good report. Glad you found something. Sorry I missed meeting you. I have one of the B reverse quarters. I will check and see if it is one you need.

Should have bought the 56 Type b at that price it was a steal. Price guide is at 775 and the pops on the 56 in MS 66 is 7 with only one MS 67 Graded. Thank's for the Report and good luck with putting that set together.

Enjoy Tom

@joeykoins ...Good report. Glad you enjoyed the show... always best to get there on opening day though. Great that you had time to talk to Rick Snow... he certainly is the expert in the IHC/FE field. Cheers, RickO

joeykoins

Thanks guys! You know what? The more I'm thinking now, it wasn't the '56, it was the '57. I am aware of the '56 more harder to come by. Yeah, it was the '57 MS 66. Thanks again for all the info. and the good words!

Why, thank you Sir! Yeah, sorry to miss you and the others as well. You know, you get all caught up in the "Coin searching thing" and you tend to have tunnel vision. That is only setting the mind on the hunt. Esp. if your time is limited, such as mine. Sorry, guys.

Yep, meeting Rick for the very first time was a delight. As also I'm sure meeting other forum members would be too. Imagine, try to Cherrypick from one of the greatest Cherrypickers of all time? LOL

IMO $200 is overpriced for a 1957 in that grade. If it had been a 56 I would say buy it then run like you stole it.

This is why I'm thinking that the coin was not the 1956. The Dealer wouldn't say it listed for$250.
