Rather diversified don't you think?? image

Most experts advise focusing on one series. Unfortunately I never find anything in my main realm of collecting at shows.
When I go to a show I spend my time buying fun stuff that I usually don't consider.

The Wiener medal and Walking Liberty half were recent internet purchases The rest were purchased at the Ga. Numismatic Assoc. show today.
I enjoyed getting out for a while and looking at coins.

How'd I do?

    Nice buys! I'm still looking for a Pilgrim half like that.

    A veritable cornucopia of eye candy. Especially like the Walker.

    Collect for the love of the hobby, the beauty of the coins, and enjoy the ride.

    The depth of the reverse of the Cathedral medal is incredible. I would have bought that one also! Looks like some great finds. Shag

    Looks like you outsmarted quite a few people.

    Doesn't that depend on what he paid?image

    They appear to be very nice coins (except, of course, for my aversion to tarnish). How well you did depends on the following factors - the price paid compared to market value, and how happy you are with the transactions. If the coins please you, then the first point, and our opinion, really do not matter. It is a hobby, and your enjoyment is paramount. If, however, you are buying for investment/resale, the entire issue depends on price paid (along with time you will hold them, market variables and available purchasers when you elect to liquidate). Cheers, RickO

    I like the 34 WLH... I'm always partial to these as it's the first Philly struck after a 13 year absence.

    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    The points made about how good a deal these coins were are well taken (price, grade etc.). But once the folding money is gone, you are left with a degree of enjoyment from the coins themselves. I would enjoy these coins very much and for a very long time!

    I like 'em all!
    Looks like the stuff I typically drag home, (if I could substitute a large cent for the medal), as someone who hopes to be a dealer catering to the masses some day.
