Just spent a few hours at TNA

It looked to me to have less dealers than last year. The weather was pretty ugly which probably kept people away. In my quest for Capped Bust Half Dime varieties I found a very late die state 1832 LM-11.2 R-5 in VG for a whopping $30 and a 1835 LM-11 R-4 for another $30. I got them from the same dealer, and they were the only 2 he had... This year it did cost $5 to park and $5 to get in. I'm going back tomorrow with two of my kids. I'll post more later.
I used to be somebody, now I'm just a coin collector.

    It's much funnier as T & A,
    but I'm pretty sure it's Texas Numismatic Association.

    I considered going, but decided to go to the College Station show on Sunday instead- better cherrypicking at the smaller shows. image

    I suppose if you look at it like that (states that is), but it could have been Thailand, or Twitty City, or Thomasville, etc., etc.

    It's the 50th anniversary of TNA. I couldn't make it, but many of my fellow club members are there. I'll be at the Bellaire (Texas) coin show next week.

    I went Friday and was disappointed. Seems like a lot of the same dealers I see at local shows were there. I did find these two coins. The 1883 shield nickle in fine looks promising as the 3/2 and I may send it to ANACS to have them attribute. The 1857 flying eagle cent is a double die in fine and looks like Snow 3. It has a planchet flaw or damage on the front. I also bought an 1883 thats looks like it has been whizzed. It so good that I might send it to ANACS also to get a net grade.

    What do you all think?
    Big Tony from Texas! Cherrypicking fool!!!!!!
