Amanda's Coin Show Chronicles: Las Vegas!!

Thanks for letting me hold and look at the Stella. I personally like the flowing hair much more then coiled hair even though it is not as valuable. The 1799 dollar was also awesome.

Great report, I've got a couple of questions if you don't mind.

1) Is this here a NGC label in a PCGS slab?
2) Were there any world (foreign) coins available or mostly US? I like the coins you posted but would have liked to see a couple of foreign also

Thanks.

 

and they all went insane
its actually illegal in the u.s.

 

lol.. coin porn...lol..

 

Not any more!

From Wikipedia......


Absinthe has often been portrayed as a dangerously addictive psychoactive drug. The chemical compound thujone, although present in the spirit in only trace amounts, was blamed for its alleged harmful effects. By 1915, absinthe had been banned in the United States and in much of Europe, including France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland and Austria-Hungary. Although absinthe was vilified, it has not been demonstrated to be any more dangerous than ordinary spirits. Any psychoactive properties attributed to absinthe, apart from that of the alcohol, have been much exaggerated. A revival of absinthe began in the 1990s, following the adoption of modern European Union food and beverage laws that removed longstanding barriers to its production and sale. By the early 21st century, nearly 200 brands of absinthe were being produced in a dozen countries, most notably in France, Switzerland, Australia, USA, Spain, and the Czech Republic.

It was lovely to meet you! I was (no kidding) just having a conversation with my father about all the patterns you showed me! Hopefully we'll be able to meet up again at the next Vegas show in September!

There were a handful of foreign coins (mostly bullion), but the overwhelming majority was US coins. There is one dealer who usually brings a fair amount of Chinese and Australian lunar stuff to all these shows, and while I didn't get to his table I imagine he had his usual selection!

 

really love some of those Morgan Dollars. Wish I could have bought them.

 

There's always next time!

 

soooooooo where can I get my self some..nowww!!!!!!

 

I certainly didn't expect this thread to go down this path!

 

The path to Vegas can be a rugged road!

Looks like someone did a crossover on a Newman coin and PCGS included the NGC label in the slab to verify the pedigree. (I'm a bit surprised they didn't trim off the bottom of the label though.

 

Was what I thought usually they don't include the label tho it threw me too

 

Could've also been someoe cracked it out and attached the NGC Newman label to the reverse too

 

@Mainebill I like your cat. Looks like my cat from when I was a kid.

 

If it had been cracked out and submitted, even with the label, they wouldn't have included the Newman pedigree on the front label unless the coin was plated in the catalog and could be definitively identified from the images

And if you meant they cracked the PCGS slab and put the Newman label inside it and reclosed the slab, it would almost certainly be noticeable and no one would trust it. (After all if you could put the label in, you could have swapped the coin OUT.)

 

maybe more coin talk people will join us next time. I really try to avoid buying white greysheet coins. so I get toned, errors and patterns. I'll see you next show. you need to buy more then one coin next time.

 

I may go to the september show however I have never been to Las Vegas before and I am afraid I may leave the place with a gambing addiction and an empty wallet

 

What happens in Vegas... (you know the rest)

Nice coins Amanda.
