A nice size local show about 35 dealers. Very friendly dealers for the most part. 2 chatted and 1 gave me a qick lesson on how he grades his proof walkers. Only 1 grouchy dealer. I asked him what his best price was on his 1938d buffalo. he said " I marked them as is, if you don't like the price, to hell with ya, go somewhere else". I said " I will".
Anyway I wanted a nice example of a Buffalo for a while. Not ewven for a type set , just to have.I saw this 1938d ms66 ngc and bought it. full horn, nice split tail. wonderful toning and killer eye appeal.

I also found this very nice 1949 Franklin ms64 fbl. A very nice strike and had a very nice eye appeal as well.

It looks better in hand. It just wouldn't image well enough.

I really do like the buffalo, even though it is a common date. It really is a strong coin.

Nice coins, well done.

You always get 1 or 2 grouchy dealers, they will feel the effect of it with lower sales.
Rest in Peace

Very nice coins, Gil.

I'm not sure why crabby dealers even bother to show up at shows. If all they can do is grumble at people, they aren't gonna make many sales. Worse, they spoil it for everyone else because too often, they are too loud and too vocal to ignore.

that dealer is proably the first one to complain about ethics in the coin field, an yet he lacts the tact to deal with the community to ask a dealer if he can do better on a price, is an excepted practice I n the world of coins.
