We got home a couple of hours ago and had a great-great time. Met Catbert, dready with his friend visiting, and Freaky Garrett to include his parents. Got a couple of semi-key buffalos while there. A little lesser in grade than I wanted, but one with a full horn and the other all except the tip. I got in a conversation with a few other buffalo collectors and they were telling me these are not slowing down at all in price. Well, we went on and on, but anyway I am very happy because I was able to trade some of my extra Peace Dollars for the two I got. That made sure I did well and the dealer also will do well. I have never seen anything like this, it was awesome. My oldest son went with me and I am so excited he had such a great time. I was ready to go, but he still wanted to look around and me explain things to him. Well, by the time we left he had made a decision he wanted to start his own collection and wanted my advice. We talked about cents (I did explain to him the diffeence in referring to them as pennies vs cents) and Jefferson nickels. He picked the memorial cents. So happened I had about 5 change rolls at home. We roll collected and got about a fourth worth keeping, found a 68S and two wheat cents. He got some gifts from some places for two reasons, because he is a kid and because some were impressed by his manners. As always I was so proud of him. He was telling me he had no idea how big coin collecting is and how many coins there are for people to collect.
