Dimeman's CoinX Show Reoprt........STL.
This show use to be the Silverdollar Show, but has changed names and is bigger and better now. All of the TPD Graders had tables. The PCGS table just had 1 person and was for submission's only. Wish I had know they were going to be there. I would have sent some coins in and saved postage.
Anyway I got there way early as I only live about 90 miles away and I always allow too much time for travel. I wanted to get a new Charlton Book on Canadian coins as mine is a 2014 and doesn't have all the Dime varieties in it that have been added to the Registry sets. So finally it gets to be 10:00 and I get to go in. I first went to see Mike at Nomad Numismatics from K.C. as he had some Dimes to show me. One was a 1892 NGC65 that is a RPD that I had not seen before. Pretty coin and a RPD too. I sent a pic of this to Bill Fivaz to see what he thinks. There is a pic of this coin below. There is repunching in all digits but the 1 and the 8 & 9 are pretty neat. I then started walking the floor and found a 1905 Barber Dime in PCGS58 for my Everyman sets. This was the last purchase as I found nothing else that I needed or couldn't live without. I did stop at Brian Raines table and had a good talk with him. We are both Variety nuts and he also liked my 1892. This was Friday by the way. My only day at this show. I heard several dealers saying this was their last day. People coming Saturday are going to get short changed, which is not right. Below are pics of my 2 newps. Of course the 1892 will be making a trip to CA. soon to get the correct holder.

Love the 1892 RPD! Is that a recognized variety? Make sure to update us when it gets back or when you hear from Bill.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
Forgot to ask- did you get one of the cool PCGS Coin-X sample slabs?

No, I guess I should have.
No, they didn't have them yet.
I'd leave the 1892 dime in the MS65 NGC holder. The scratch under the nose is distracting. I wouldn't buy it as a 65 and PCGS might not grade it as a 65.
That's the chance you take buying a coin in a ngc holder. I bought it for the RPD and not the grade, but it would be nice if it crossed at grade.
Thanks for taking the time to post your show report @DIMEMAN.
Interesting show report. Sounds like you had some success, but you might have more dimes than all of the dealers at the show combined. I think you need a new series, do half dimes interest you?

Thanks for the report
So sorry that I missed you at the show. I did not arrive until about 15 minutes after the show had opened. The light came on in my car saying that I had low tire pressure. I stopped to fix that. So cold doing that.
I first went to look at auction lots for the Lyn Knight Currency auction and the Scotsman coin auction. I went through the show in a couple of hours. I found a No Drapery Dime that I needed and it was at a fair price. I had to hold off because of a a currency lot that I really wanted that was going to cost me a bundle.
I did win the currency lot on Thursday night. I did not go back to purchase the Dime on Friday.
