Today-A local show-Fresh material hits the market...

At a sizeable commercial show held in Warren, MI attendance seemed brisk. One dealer had just purchased a sizable collection that contained many nice collector coins. The nice coins from that collection were selling very well. I bought an original, problem-free, raw 1928-S Standing Liberty Quarter in AU50. This is the first original, problem-free AU Standing Liberty I have seen in several months (I have seen plenty of cleaned/dipped ones.)

There was an abundance of Barber Halves at this show. Virtually all of the original ones were VG and below. There were also a fair number of XF-AU Barber Halves but it appeared to me that all of them had been cleaned or dipped at some time.

While there were plenty of Morgans, they didn't dominate the show.

All glory is fleeting.

    good report. thanks.

    I used to live in MI, such a poor economy for so many years now.
    But I am sure there is enough money in the Detroit area to keep
    coin dealers happy.

    Retirees seem to keep the market going.
