First show in awhile. At least since Chicago's Big ANA Show in August. Mainly, going to Hunt down the super variety 2014 $5 Gold Eagle and hoping to Hunt down the 1878s Morgan Dollar "Long Nock" on the arrow, variety. Two, that carry very high premiums. Along with enjoying that great "Coin Show" atmosphere.
I'll clue you guys in later, if interested.
Thanks
Morgan$ 1878s variety

If you're looking for long nock 1878-S Morgans, look at lower circulated grades, G-VF.

Huh, I see it's an hour and twenty five minutes from me in Rockford, IL
We'll see...WHAT? What brought your attention...?
I got an 1878S long nock from a dealers basket of coins on his counter years ago for $8 and sold it at the Boston coin show a few months later for $570. Good luck Joey. 85 tables BUT how many dealers?

--- If it should happen I die and leave this world and you want to remember me. Please only remember my opening Sig Line.Those coin show listings of the number of tables indicate how many tables are available. Its a pure guess as to how many will be occupied.
We look forward to multiple show reports.... Please include commentary and pictures of relevant issues. i.e. bullion movement, acquisitions, sales, hot dogs, mustard quality (Grey Poupon?)... etc. Cheers, RickO
and how many dealers have mustard on their shirts

--- If it should happen I die and leave this world and you want to remember me. Please only remember my opening Sig Line.No. Just take what you can get and be rid of it before it starts costing you money. Toning on the reverse only just doesn't have the draw of toning on the obverse.
Happy hunting @joeykoins Show that toned rev Morgan! Someone's gonna bite. Good luck. Peace Roy

Make sure to scoop up all the rolls of modern coins!!
This show is a shell of it's former self. I was there about a month ago and there were maybe 20 Dealers. Some selling stamps, some un affiliated books etc. I guess I'm spoiled with THE ANA show.
Just got back!
Not too bad for a smaller show. Many familiar faces. Yes, I did take my 1900o Toner.
No takers for my asking price, $300.
One however, did say he's a buyer at $200. I didn't bite. Sold 26 "W" quarters. All assorted. Not my best conditioned ones. $9 apiece. Going back tomorrow. Maybe I'll go back with his offer?
Cherry picked a few items!

While hunting for the Morgan 1879s, " rev. Of 1878s. Big money in decent grades.
I came across a high grade in the variety!
Couldn't believe it. I actually found one!
However, when I checked the date on the coin, it was the 1878s! The owner had written on the flip for the 1879s.
Mannnnn!
"Jesus died for you and for me, Thank you,Jesus"!!!

Wow!
The 1979p Mint bag of 100.
"WIDE Rims" baby. Only for $120, too.
In ms 67 grades= $1900!
Worse case scenario;
NO varieties. But...
BU's and
Cash in for $100. Only a $20 loss. Plus, I get to keep a cool original mint bag.

--- If it should happen I die and leave this world and you want to remember me. Please only remember my opening Sig Line.I like the Liard. They're not easy to find graded. A good start on "foreign used in the US prior to 1857" type.
My 2 brothers were there also...
Good for you! No way that’s worth $200 with only reverse toning and raw 🙂
Agreed, $200 is about 4x it's worth. Good job to the seller. RGDS!
The whole worlds off its rocker, buy Gold™.
