Some recent Live Oak, TX coin show pickups

ElmerFusterpuckElmerFusterpuck Posts: 4,920 ✭✭✭✭✭
Went to the Alamo Coin Club show in Live Oak and managed to add a few more nice raw coins for my collection. Attendance seemed pretty steady, and there was the usual assortment of some good stuff, lots of cleaned junk and the one dealer who had a great selection + exorbitant prices. I wonder how he stays in business - charging over $50 for common date silver PCGS MS-65 Washingtons is questionable at best. Meanwhile, here are my pickups:

1967 25c - not sure if SMS?
1967 25c - reverse

1976-D Type 1 $1 - maybe MS-66?
1976-D Type 1 $1 - reverse

1955-D 5c - maybe MS-66
1955-D 5c - reverse

    I'm pretty sure I know the dealer you are talking about! The only way I figure I would buy from him at his prices would be if he had a cherrypicking opportunity image

    I know what you mean about the cherrypicking part - I'm tempted to ask him his buy prices on 'monster' toners, since nearly all of his toned stuff is 'monster' toned and starts in the hundreds of dollars. I wish i could remember his name, takes up 3 tables with his overpriced inventory.

    I know which one you're talking about too... and he had a cherrypicking coin I passed on since his price was three times what it should have sold for.

    I thought the show was rather slim... many empty tables from noon to two... very few people hanging around... not much money changing hands (everybody was "just looking").

    I only found three rips... usually its alot more at this show.

    Nice pickups. I recognize the labeling on the holders. That dealer is always good for a cherrypick...
