Here is a list of coins I bought during the FUN show. Overall I had great success while I was there.
I found the last two (out of ten total) 1821 die marriages I needed to complete that date's die marriages.
I added a number of other upgrades, new die marriages and other pieces I felt were nice for my collection.
Hope you enjoy!
1837 LM-2 (R4/5) VF-30 (My only "cherrypick" of the show. A little dark, but overall very solid for the scarce die marriage)
And this is the other 1837 LM-2 I have in my collection (EF-40, or close to it); I did not get this at the FUN show!
1835 JR-5 PCGS-25 (Upgraded from a problem coin to a non-problem coin)
1833 JR-7 High 3 PCGS-35 (Upgraded from a problem coin to a non-problem coin, VERY tough to find this nice, and perfect for my set - Thanks Rich Uhrich)
1830/29 JR-4 EF+ (Upgrades a less attractive VF-20; first coin I bought at the show!)
1830 JR-1 (R4+) VF-34, #6 or 7 finest known (Todd's (BluCC) image. I think it came out PERFECT-O. Thanks Todd!!!)
1827 JR-7 VG (A hole filler of a common die marriage until a nice VF example comes along)
1821 JR-7 F-12 (It will be a hole filler until a much nicer VF example comes along. Still not too bad)
1821 JR-4 PCGS-12 (New die marriage for my set. Decent hole filler until a VF example comes along)
1820 JR-2 Office Boy reverse PCGS-35 (This upgrades my F/VF example to a superb VF! Difficult to find in strong VF or EF grades)

<< <i>I know with sets like that it is more often harder to find the coins to buy then the money to buy them. >>
That is very much true. I could have added 2 more die marriages to my set at the show in nice EF condition.
Unfortunately 1 of those sold before I got to it...as is the case sometimes. And the Other I felt was priced too high for my liking.
Wondercoin
Stone... Good seeing you again, as always.
Nice CBD's.

Coin collecting is not a hobby, it's an obsession !
New Barber Purchases
Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.
Nice set of Busties
Tough to find nowadays with that look...great newps
It just arrived yesterday and it is SPECTACULAR for the date/grade/die marriage (1834 JR-4 (R3) PCGS-35).
I didn't know what the die marriage was when I bought it, but I was REALLY crossing my fingers it was the JR-4 (which I desperately needed to upgrade for my set!)
