AWESOME coin show today!

It has been a long time since I've went to a coin show (Aurora, Colorado) that had so many nice, crusty Type coins. I bought a couple of half dime upgrades for my Dansco 7070. On impulse I bought a Cap & Rays 8 Reales that looked so beautifully originally (and great price to go with it) that I couldn't pass it up. Finally, (a coin that I cannot image yet until I get a different scanner or digital camera), I bought a 1908 (Yes! An actual 20th century coin when many of you already know I don't buy any of this stuff after 1889) Barber Proof Dime. This coin is stunning. It's in an older NGC PF64 holder and the coin is a liner Ultra Cameo (with no Cameo designation on the holder). The half dimes on the left will be replacing the ones on the right. The 1834 has a very dark skin to it, very original, nice details while the 1853 has some luster remaining in the protected areas. What a day!
