Parsippany Monthy Show- December

I might be interested.

Where in Parsippany is the show being held and do you know the hours? Do they have a web site?

Thanks,

Bob

Thanks, that sounds great. According to Google maps it's about 40 minutes from my house.

I'll try to make it if I can. You'll know me by my leather jacket and Grateful Dead tee shirt. If you see me say hi.

Bob

I wasn't able to make it today but I'd like to hear how you liked it. Did you find anything?

Bob

Wont be able to get there this month. :/

I was a bit disappointed because a couple of the regular dealers I buy from did not make it. But I did make one good find while digging through the junk coin bin, and I would definitley say it was the highlight of the entire show for me.

I found the tall guy with the back pack from the CCF forum...

It was great fun finally meeting up with another CCF member at a coin show.

Hi sjh, I wasn't able to make it as I've been under the weather and it's been kind of day to day. Maybe that explains my mix up about the day of the show (at least that's my story and I'm going to stick with it).

I would have been great to meet you and Harry123, maybe next time.

Yes it's a good story;
I was telling sjh241 about the addiction I have to collecting Canadian large pennies, when he began telling me of the good find he made at the antique dealers table at the last show; sjh had posted on the forum about an almost complete set of Canada small cents he scored, including an almost impossible to find classic album. And before he could finish I nodded my head and smiled and said; "the coin forum right", the rest is history, good times sjh

That coin box was worth alot more fun to dig through than what I paid for the coins I pulled from it. I did manage to find a handful of decent Large Penny's. And I found a few more of the obsolete transportation tokens that I recently began collecting.

I was also telling sjh about the key date silver Canadian nickel I pulled from a similar box at another show I recently attended. A 1915 with a catalog value of about $25 I bought for about $3

Then sjh tipped me off about a roll of Canada cents that the antique dealer had on his table, so we set off to see them. I bought them and I asked him if he had any more. He began to dig through his stuff and found a stash of coins he forgot to put out earlier. Mostly old world silver, I looked around to see if you might have any interest in it but you had wandered off to another table and then I lost sight of you.

So what did you find? Anything good?

Nice, you did mention those Lincoln cents. I am working on a red Unc. set myself. Today I passed on a 1934 D MS64 I felt was over priced and a couple 1935 S in about MS63 that had too many distracting marks on them. Boy am I picky or what?....Then that 1934 D the guy showed me was butt ugly, I didn't even want to know how much it cost.. Right now, aside from the 2 dates I just mentioned, my BU set is complete from 1934 to date. I have a few scattered BU dates before 1933 but have a long way to go..

I've had the Charlton catalogues (both the coin and the Token guide) for awhile.. They are great reference books, I'd be lost without them.

The antique guy actually had another 1859 cent. I tried to do a package deal with it and about 4 other old world coppers... But the price he shot at me kind of turned me off to the deal so I forgot it and looked at other stuff. By the way he also had another one of those vintage Whitman Albums for Canada Large Types, too bad I can't use it.

I haven't completely tore into the roll yet. I did open it and poured a few into my palm. Looks like mostly QE II portraits, 60s and 70s. Hopefully I will find a few KG's in it. When I get some time I will check it for varieties, then throw it into my copper penny pile :) I'll let you know if I find anything in it.
