Nope.

Russ, NCNE

Knew you wouldn't

Too far for you to go.....I think there is one in your neck of the woods next weekend, isn't there?

SeattleSlammer · November 2, 2007 5:30AM

how small?

Russ · November 2, 2007 5:31AM

It's not that's it's too far, I've been to it before. I just have too much work on the plate right now.

Might go for a short time around 1:00 after work

Tonedbuff · November 2, 2007 6:25AM

I generally go, but I don't know if I can make tomorrow. Same guys, and a lot of the same inventory from time to time, unless you skip at least one or two I find. I went to the last one, so this may be time to skip. Only ten minutes from home though

Russ has a high level meeting with Biddlesbank!

I may swing by tomorrow afternoon, around 1. But as Tonedbuff states, it's usually the same inventory show after show after show. But I have missed the last two, so maybe I'm due?

I did pick up two nice NGC AU Bust halves from Dale at the last one I attended.

Do they buy Toned Roosevelts at that show?

Not for much...most of those guys would dip them

As for size....probably about 10 tables is it.

10 minutes away, Tonedbuff? That's closer than me! I live about 18-20 minutes away, depending on traffic and lights, maybe a few more.
I've missed one or two so I wanted to take a look.

Russ...I just figured your house arrest anklet wouldn't let you come this far north

Bochiman · November 3, 2007 7:32AM

Well,

I hadn't been in awhile but it was the same old gang with maybe 1 or 2 new (replacements).
John had some new (for him) Merc proofs. Blast white in NGC PR65 and PR66 holders. 1939, 1942 and I forget the 3rd one.

Ed has his usual cool old copper (couple of chain cents I was contemplating since they were in my price range but the details were hurting either due to being a ground piece or just really tore up) but he also had a handful of proof IHCs that were toned. He said he got them as part of a larger collection buy. The PCGS were old green holders and the NGC were nice as well.
PR63BN-PR65BN. 1879 (I bought that one), 1882, 1884, 1887 (looked nice!), 1890, and 1893.

So, it was worth it to me (well, kind of, I bought the 1 coin but I spent money doing it, so was it really "worth" it?

) to go.

The motley crew was out in force, Tacoma Bob, the handlebar mustache dude... Spent about 20 minutes there, nothing that I am looking for, but there were some decent coins such as the early copper as mentioned earlier, and a few nice bust coins although no preturb halves at all. Maybe it was the time I was there, but there was almost no buying going on, the dealers looked a little frustrated.
