nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 05/22/2010 2:10 pm Show was a little less crowded than the last time I was there which was a year ago. About 25 dealers a fair few with multiple tables. For the fist time in a number of years there was a nice selection of my favorite coins I should have taken more money as I had to leave some very nice but expensive pieces. Anyway here are my pickings. Prices were all pretty close to CDN Bid no haggling needed. (I guess I am getting a reputation) Corroded but cheap so I added it.

jokingjoker Pillar of the Community United States 2150 Posts	Posted 05/22/2010 5:03 pm Nice!! I picked up the remaining Roosevelt proofs that I needed while I was there. The dealers seemed to work with the prices a little better this time. Report this Post to the Staff

seal006 Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 05/23/2010 09:36 am I went yesterday as well. It was my first time. I cannot imagine how folks would be able to walk and look last year if it was busier than yesterday. I was there from around 11 to 4. The crowd did thin out a bit starting around 3ish. Prices were quite nice. I was able to fill lots of holes in my collection. Dealers were pleasant. All in all I had a blast and look forward to the next one. Report this Post to the Staff
MarkS Valued Member United States 90 Posts	Posted 05/23/2010 4:56 pm I was at the show yesterday as well between 9 and 11:30. Not as busy as past shows and I found the prices down a little bit on most common date coins. Key date prices were still holding....but I did manage to pick up a nice AU58 3 legged buffalo at a very nice price. Report this Post to the Staff
mklpatrick Pillar of the Community United States 580 Posts	Posted 06/02/2010 4:08 pm Hey Richard I was at that same show and bought the exact same coin! Well...OK, not the EXACT same coin. But I did procure the 1864 2 cent piece in what I believe to be XF condition. I was planning on getting a pic of it posted this coming weekend. The weird thing is that the "WE" in the motto looks to be rubbed almost completely off, but I think it is probably due to a weak strike. A few of yours appear to have the same issue, right?

nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 06/02/2010 4:31 pm It is possible to have an XF 2 Cent without the WE but not at all common. Neither of the last two coins pictured would make XF. Edited by nohope587 06/02/2010 4:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff
