acloco Pillar of the Community United States 3540 Posts	Posted 04/15/2013 11:08 pm Travelled to Pueblo, CO today on a work assignment. Arrived about 4 pm, checked into hotel, ran up to room, as I figured that I had an hour to find coin shops. Google was my friend. With my electronic address finder in hand, the first was basically a bust. Arrived at the coin/pawn shop and the coin cases were all covered up. He did take the time to let me rummage through some AG/G Lincolns and finally pulled out one tray of nicer Lincolns. Grading was average. A 14 D, without a price on it, was in the tray. He did say he wondered about this one....after I pointed out the "VDB" still on the shoulder, we agreed this was a converted 44 D. Coin shop number 2 - was boarded up. Coin shops 3 & 4, were closed at 4:35 pm already. They were side by side...found that interesting. Coin shop #5 was another pawn & coin shop. They are mostly buying/selling the coins for the silver content, but had quite a number of Morgans/Peace, quarter, & dimes. 3 trays of Lincolns. Purchased a 28 D that is an easy 63 RB for $12. Graded as an "AU". Next stop was 1943 D Mercury, graded as "BU", and it definitely is....including the FSB. Not a major score, but for $7...and original cartwheel luster...who could pass it up. Now...THE cherrypick for the day, an XF/AU (LOTS of luster still) 1924 D Standing Liberty quarter for $20. Coin has luster and a chunk of gum covering the left side of the date and most of the mint mark. Report this Post to the Staff

acloco Pillar of the Community United States 3540 Posts	Posted 04/20/2013 11:12 pm Westcoin - I have been to Hallenbeck's several times. In the last couple of years, bullion has been on the bounces up, so their business has been in the buy/sell arena. But, they do have some collector coins for sale as well. Very nice shop to visit. I lucked on to a small bundle of correctly graded MS Wheat red cents. Next time I went back, there were none to be found. We will try to take in the ANA on one of our trips there. Our oldest daugher lives in "The Springs", so visiting our two grand daughters AND taking in some coin fun is a double die double up in my book! :) Report this Post to the Staff
