So, I hit the Tacoma Dome show today expecting that, as usual, it would be slim pickings. That expectation was pretty much met. I did find a 1962 proof set with a bright blue Jefferson and one Accented Hair set for sheet - the AH turned out to be a hairlined dog, but for $9 WTH.
The show was DEAD, and I mean really dead. Slower than it usually is and it's usually pretty slow. Dealers were complaining and one went so far as to say the show was dying and he wouldn't be surprised if it shut down.
I did, though, pick up this nice 1966 SMS Lincoln from one of my favorite dealers who I like and also hate because he hunts the same stuff I do:
It's fresh from NGC and graded MS67RD, not designated Cameo. The reverse is full cameo and the obverse is just so close. I needed a 5th coin for a crossover submission and I figured for the $20 this one cost me I'd take a flyer and see what happens.

Check that coin again. It is NOT 1964.

It might be a cheap penny.

I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
