A couple coins from the BNA coin show today.

I only had $150, and I think I did good. I got the dime for dirt cheap, and I liked the toning on the half dime. I needed the Morgan and the memorials for my collections, and the penny was free. My big question though is why would anybody grade the dime? What are your thoughts? Thank you.

    1. They are a bulk submitter and it cost less than $10.
    2. They are a registry set player and they needed it for their registry set.
    3. They like all their coins to be in PCGS holders.
    4. They thought it would grade higher.
    5. They thought it was a variety.
    6. They thought it was an error.
    7. Your answer here

    Probably because they wanted it authenticated, preserved, and some of the answers above. Cheers, RickO

    I was at the show yesterday. A lot of regular dealers missing perhaps due to the snow.

    1. They had vouchers to burn and the clock was ticking on their expiration.

    I'll add on! 10. They needed some quick cash for that quarter eagle a couple tables down. :D
