Yesterday I went to the Minnesota Organization of Numismatists Coin Show at the Earle Brown Heritage Center in Brooklyn Center, northwest of Minneapolis. Got there about 11:30 stayed until 2.

I was unable to find an 1876 3 Cent Nickel that was my goal. I also wanted to pick up some Morgan Dollars F-XF but those were scarce too. The Japan sen was 1.00 and the rest of the foreign stuff I found in the 4/$1.00 boxes you see there.
Also for the second show in a row there was a food stand with sloppy joes. The Heritage center has a concession stand that served Sloppy Joes, Hot Dogs, Turkey and Chicken Sandwiches along with pasta salad, chips, cookies, and drinks. I got the hot dog meal which came with pasta salad and chips. Pasta Salad was really dry. Now I am sounding like Cliff Mischler!
The dealer who sold me the FRN's showed me his collection of currency. Each of the notes he had the serial number ended in 007. Really nice guy. All the dealers I bought from were nice.
This was the first time I went to MOON. I wanted to in the past but scheduling conflicts always prevented it. I probably will go back in the future.
