I just returned home to Austin from the Gateway Coin Club Show in San Antonio. Despite the fact that it was a small show, and several of the larger dealers were in Long Beach, I made a pretty good haul. In addition to a 1970 mint set with a DDR quarter (no images on it yet- still haven't ID'd it), I cherried these coins:
I was shocked when I found this coin in a $16.00/each bin at one of the tables. Normally, I wouldn't be so excited about finding a cleaned counterfeit coin, but this 1901-Micro O Morgan was certainly exciting:
I believe that is a planchet flaw on the reverse...
I also couldn't pass up this 1923 Peace dollar- it has one of the nicest, creamiest, and cleanest obverses I've ever seen. Despite the reverse hit, I'm going to submit it on my next economy order:
Then, I found this AU 1941-Large S nickel. These are pretty hard to come by!
Lastly, a dealer was selling off a whole roll of these dimes. I bought 5 of them. Based on a previous post I did on a nickel that looked like these, they appear to be broadstruck off-center against a stiff collar. Something must've been set wrong in the press to have produced this many nearly identical errors.

I thought it was a decent show, but I didn't find the stuff usually there.

<< <i>I saw all those Roosy dimes...just five bucks each (Harry's Coins, I think it was). >>
That was the table! Still hard to believe he had that many of them. I figured $5 each was a good price, especially since errors like these are supposed to be a lot rarer from 2000 on...

as I was pawing through the coins, I figured he must have gotten them in a roll.
