nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 12/03/2011 6:12 pm Landed today and went straight to the Houston Money Show. Just got back from Mexico in time for the last day of the Houston money show. Business was slow. I only made half a circuit before I Had blown all my money. Some dealers were nice and willing to chat even if they had nothing of interest to me. Other live on another planet. I saw several Nice 2 Cent coins in PCGS holders with CAC stickers. In particular there was one 1865 MS64RD coin it was nice and I concurred with the CAC/PCGS grade. Grey sheet was around $225 for RB and Numismedia says FMV for RD about $800. Asking price $1800! I choked and put it down really fast. A similar story with a Nice CAC NGC 1864. Dealers that think just because two companies agree on the grade they can double the price really make me mad. The very next table had a PCGS MS64 BN 1865 for $170 so I bought that one. My second purchase was a raw coin Marked RB UNC $90 It not RB and I would put it Maybe MS60 but it was a KF-F2-TPD (BR2382 FL65-lolr) I offered $80 and it was accepted. I was more then pleased to and this variety to my set. I generally don't like big shows as it seems to bring out the worst dealers as well as the good ones. I wish I had had more cash on me but if I had I would have spent it. Edited by nohope587 12/03/2011 7:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 12/03/2011 7:14 pm Super nice RPD 1865! Great find. Would love to come across one of those at a show, I did cherrypick a nice 1867 DDO in XF/AU last year at the ANA Fort Worth show, but nothing since in 2Â¢ varieties.

I used to buy any 2 Cent I could find now I try to stick with VF or better unless its a variety I don't have. So I have gone from several hundred a year to somewhere between 15 and 20 a year.

mariospaghetti Valued Member United States 421 Posts	Posted 12/04/2011 08:30 am very nice looking 2 cent pieces! I haven't owned one in a while, thought I do like the design of them. I agree with you about the double the grading double the price like "say what do you want for that coin ? and is that in USD. LOL Report this Post to the Staff

fcrazo Pillar of the Community United States 651 Posts	Posted 12/04/2011 8:03 pm couldn't do it this year. I usually find the smaller dealers to be the best when it comes to being more personable. Report this Post to the Staff

Sounds familar, I'm the same way, for awhile at Long Beach shows I'd ask dealers to see their 2Â¢ coins, sometimes they would pull out a 2x2 box with a bunch in it, I'd flip through casually and quickly and say how much? Dealer Reply "which one?" Me "All of them" I'm crazy for the Two Cent Pieces myself, and cats, got 11 of them around the house now. The cat in your profile page is a sign we'd get along just fine!
