This is a regularly scheduled 2-day spring and fall local coin show held at the Boulder County Fairgrounds, hosted by the Front Range Coin Club.
Saturday was a wonderful fall day in Colorado, and the recent mountain snows made for a nice view on the drive into Longmont from the I-25:
There was also a dog walk at the Fairgrounds that morning:
The building is a farm exhibit building, complete with corrals in the back. But this is Colorado!
The FRCC president and bourse chairman, Gene M., relaxing after setup:
The bourse was sold out, and the opening crowds were big and wanting to do business:
I was able to buy some small deals for my "resale pipeline", but nothing cool caught my eye until the end of the day. Buried at the end of a mint set flip deal was 2 very pretty 1957 and 1958 mint sets. The coins were very pretty, and I thought really original. I took a chance and bought them. Sorry - no pics! I then really took a flyer and sent them into OSV for verification right at the show. How that turns out will be another report. But, I really do like their presentation format.
End of report for now.

"OSV" = "Original Set Verification" Co.
huh?, plus elaborate for the ignorant, moi.
Nope...just letting folks know who might not have heard of the OSV business or their relationship with ANACS. [http://www.osv.expert/about.aspx]
I like the Front Range Coin Club silver bars by Dan Carr

Got there around noon on Saturday. Bourse was bustling but not too crowded. Deals being made and plenty of folks looking through double row boxes or pouring over cases. Picked up a couple raw buffalo nickels for my Dansco album. Decided I was tired of only looking at encapsulated coins, and figured a late date raw set would be nice. Bought a few ANACS slabbed nickels and busted 'em out.
I would have stayed longer, but I had a wedding to go to Saturday evening. Not my wedding, as many dealers asked. LOL
Gonna get me a $50 Octagonal someday. Some. Day.
Thanks for the report... It looks like a nice show... did you notice any bullion movement? Cheers, RickO
The "bull-ion" movement was in the back at the cattle stalls.
