    Ok guys I want to see how I did! As you know (maybe) im relatively new to collecting and this is only my 2nd coin show. First show was a disaster... I bought everything in my sight lol. This one was more organized and I made a list... but didn't use it that much. I tried but then I was like OOOOO and AHHHHH and yea it fell apart so I wanted to know basically, did I lose money on anything pay to much for something, get a steal on something etc.
    Alright lets go from top down
    2 1929 standing liberty quarters (D) and 1 1929 SLQ (P)- $15
    Just a side note this lady was so nice, she was in business since 1954 and was like 90 something. She was so interested in young collectors. She took 33 percent off the price of these. She let me hold a coin she was selling fro 160000 dollars. It was an experimental half dime made out of Martha Washington's silverware.
    1 BEAUTIFUL SHINY SEXY 1899 barber quarter- 4.50
    Literally I couldn't keep my jaw up. It was in a pile of garbage quarters and I was like oh ill just take this hehehe.
    1907 O half dollar- 12 dollars
    not to proud of this one... it was 25% off and I didn't have a barber half dollar (I was in a barber mood today idk why) so I took it... maybe a bad decision
    1923 Peace dollar- $23
    The guy had a bunch of garbage peace dollars in a bin and I was initially turned off by it (idk why I wasn't turned off by that barber...) but then he gets this home depot bucket filled with peace dollars and this shiny one comes out right on top.. I had to have it
    1909 VBD MS 63- $20
    Originally I wasn't going to get one that was graded (this was like the only one on my list) but it was 5 bucks difference from a 40 (non graded) to a MS 63 so I was like hmmmm. give me give me give me!!!
    1949 Booker T Washington Half- $21
    I couldn't find any booker t's anywhere I looked then I see this guy setting up and he has these binder like things except they weren't in a binder... like just the pages. He was putting them into a case and a booker t caught my eye. I instantaiously and quite loudly lol said wait and got my booker t yay.
    1960 Proof Set- 20
    I couldn't scan this so sorry. This was the last item purchased because I loved it so much. I've always wanted a silver proof set and this one was cool. The nickel in it is toned gold and it looks really nice. Half dollar looks amazing!
    Also another thing I got was well let me tell you the back story. Im looking around and my moms says ill be right back going to the bathroom. So I continue to shop and then she comes back and has this heavy bag in her hand. Apparently the witman people were giving it away I think only to kids. It contained
    1 of each denomination tube for coins
    1- make your own mint set (you know what it is)
    1- westward movement nickel display case thing
    1- State quarter 1999-2001 cardboard display
    1- State quarter P and D plastic holder
    1- National Park Quarter P and D plastic holder
    1- "The Expert's Guide Collecting & Investing In Rare Coins"
    I had fun and I hope you guys did too!
    Thanks,
    Jason
    PS- I was pretty pissed when I saw a girl flirt with this guy at the entrance and get early bird for free.. if only I was a sexy lady lol
