Poll: Do you plan to buy a coin at/from the summer ANA show?

RYK · June 30, 2005 1:47PM

Despite that I will not be able to attend, I plan to buy one or two coins from an ANA auction or a coin acquired at the pre-ANA or ANA from dealer inventory after the show. I hope to add to my Dahlonega and/or New Orleans gold collections, possibly a cool $3 or PCGS Fr-2 Oregon gold coin!

How about you? Do you expect to make an ANA purchase, and what do you think it might be?

I'm already getting my wish list all set.

Depends on what I find when I am there. I will go home with some new books no matter what.

SethChandler · June 30, 2005 2:11PM

Yes, a cool gold coin. Maybe a Pioneer? Clark and Gruber, Kellogg?

I plann to be at all auctions, hope to pick up a couple nice NO gold for my collection, by the way RYK I see the ANR auction has a nice PCGS AU55 1841-0 $10.!!

Certainly, and most likely from auctions

Summer is the best time to pick up deals on coins, so I'm watching the auctions closely. ANA brings out some nice coins.

Yes.

I always have my checkbook with me, the issue is whether there will be anything available that I want to own.

I suspect there will be at most one or two coins that I want, and there will be three or four other collectors circling around them like a pack of wild Hyenas (though with laptops and carrying tattered reference material).

I too am looking to get 2-3 branch mint gold pieces around the ANA show from either the auctions or dealer buys around the show.

Nope, it cost a bit just to get out there. I'm going there for fun and the PCGS grading contest. I plan on buying nothing.

My wife and I are going. I asked her, " How'd you like to go to San Francisco for vacation?", and it worked. I will be looking for a coin or 2. Its not too late Robert, come on out.

Well I don't know. While the market for classic rarities continues to rise steadily, the market for the garbage I collect--Morgan widgets--seems to be going south. I might be better off waiting until the wolf is at the dealers' doors before buying. On the other hand, if I find a starving wannabe with a PQ speciment of one of the dates I have been looking for I might bite before the other wolves devour him.

I hope RYK and Alabill have some deep pockets. I think that Longacre is going to loosen the purse strings.

Since you could not get me anything from The Gentleman's Collection, all that capital--and more--is being rolled over for the ANA!
