And of course make sure your son throws his lucky cars into your briefcase! LOL! Thats what happend today. I decided to take the old lady, and right before I left I opened my case to make sure I had my loop and seen some cars in there. What the heck? My three year old says they are good luck so I close the briefcase and get on the road. Well it didn't take long after we hit the bourse floor until I realized I was going to have a lot of explaining to do, because all she did was ask questions. I thought it was kind of neat actually until she came over tugging on me while I was examining a coin. She said" You gotta see this!" I say "okay wait a sec". She says "No, your going to wanna see this!". So I let the dealer know Ill be right back expecting to see some low grade buffalo with color, or something along those lines. Nope! She was spot on! I did want to see it! It is the most beautiful Mercury Dime I have ever seen! Yeap, nicer looking than my 1939D MS69*FB and nicer looking than my 1940S MS68*! The irony is that I just stopped collecting dimes, and of course like clock work I have found three nice examples in the last two weeks! It didnt matter to me that I am not collecting Dimes like I used to. When you find a coin like this you dont leave it in the dealers showcase.Of course I purchased many more toners but nothing quite like this. Well I thought it was a pretty cool day! I hope you guys/gals can see past my poor camera skills and enjoy the photos!
