Damn, I can't get anything anymore! So, I hit our little local show today, and it was surprisingly busy. Not only that, there was fresh dealer meat! Forum member RickO was there and, while I was looking through the inventory of one of the fresh meats, he snagged an Accented Hair proof set from one of the other fresh meats! AARRGGHHHHH! Pretty nice coin, too.

So, the only thing I was able to pick up today was this Peace Dollar:

Does forum member RickO collect toned Peace dollars by any chance? That would be poetic justice.

That's pretty amazing toning for a peace dollar!

SpecialK · February 17, 2007 5:13AM

That is a sweet coin though, I'd love to have one like that

Now, that makes me wish I had gone

Hey, Russ, which dealer for the peace dollar? Looks slightly similar to an AU I got 2 shoes ago (from the old guy selling the SAEs from the Green Monster Box...in other words, I can't remember his name (have to check my checkbook) but still wondering if it is the same guy).

NICE!!!

<< Hey, Russ, which dealer for the peace dollar? >>

New one, I haven't seen before. Very organized display with boxed coins in mylar flips and neatly typed detailed labels, and his case coins all in nice snap tight holders and accompanied by neatly typed labels. Quite a bit of material, and all of it reasonably priced.

Oh, and Dave Schmidt actually showed up for this one and had some of his Norse medals with him. He picked up three more in Long Beach. Pretty soon there will be none left out there.

I like that Peace- it looks like a watercolor.

Were you at the show for more than 10 minutes?

This sounds like a collector venturing into setting up at shows.

Yeah, this time I was.

You might be right. He also has his stuff conservatively graded, so he couldn't have been a dealer.

I was but minutes ahead of Russ on that AH.... and virtually the first to look over the offerings at this table... The gentleman is from Northern WA... and intends to make more shows. I also scored a MS62/1 Diamond Jubilee half for less than AU $$... nice guy. This Kent show was better than average. Cheers, RickO

very nice, but what is going on at the tips of the points at 12 o'clock on the obverse?
