Who says you can't have fun at a coin show for cheap

I went to a show yesterday. Not much there that suited my tastes but I needed a couple widgets for my type set.
I am as tickled with these two coins as i would be with a $1000 purchase.
It's all what you make of it.

'09 VDB that I needed. May get replaced with an S VDB but I think it is a fine coin for the spot.

War nickel. I didn't have a suitable one but this hits the spot for now.

    Nice pickups.
    I like the little shows and always can find something I like.

    This was a pretty big show. Not much there. It's getting tough to find good stuff.
    That didn't stop me from having a good time though.

    May I suggest collecting the complete sets of W quarters?😎

    The floor was crowded. Most of the deals I witnessed were for bullion.
    Lots of it there and it seemed to be selling well.
    Not much there for me in terms of nice stuff.
    Toned coins were practically non-existent.
    Nice type stuff was scarce.
    Most dealers told me they were having a hard time getting nice inventory but all said they were having a good show.
    I guess people are hungry for coins right now.
    Forum member @amworldcoin was there with lots of nice Barber material. Just not my thing.
    Many dealers were having the lunch special of meat loaf, which looked good but I didnt partake.

    Like I need another diversion.

    These (W quarters) can still be found in circulation. I found 3 of them, all different, in two $500 boxes of quarters. They are worth at least $5 apiece which is more than current value of a silver quarter.3 W's and 1 silver quarter out of $1000 in quarters from the bank. Even if you don't want to collect the "W" quarter, they can be easily traded for coins you do collect. I like that V.D.B. you bought at the show. :)

    "Two things are infinite: human stupidity and the universe; and I'm not sure about the universe."
    -Albert Einstein-

    Mistakes are natural. But repeated mistakes without reflection are something else. That may be the “stupidity” he was referring to. In research, he admitted uncertainty openly. “If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?” This shows humility. Even a Nobel laureate accepted doubt. That humility makes the quote less cynical and more observational.

    It was nice putting a face to a name! The food at this show if you get the lunch special is the best I've ever had at a show!
