New pickups from another local show on Sunday..

I love this show, it's local and it's every few months. Sometimes there is some great new material like these below. I had no intention of going in and buying nothing but Morgans this weekend. I looked at a lot of other stuff, but either it did not speak to me or the dealer and I were just too far apart. It did turn out to be an older holder day though and only (1) NGC.

So this first one is an 1879-S Morgan Dollar that turned out to be a VAM that our own @Cascade discovered. It's a VAM-1B2 and it's in an old NGC MS-65 holder. I loved the look of the heavy die polish lines on the obverse coupled with the toning. It might not be for everyone, but I really like it.



These next two were yet another sibling set of old holders, this time the old ANA holders. I could not let them get broken up and fell in love with both of them. The second one turns out to be a VAM-12 Die 2 80/79 with a very deep PL reverse.

These next two are a couple of early rattlers. I can't resist these early rattlers.

This 1880-S I am shocked was not labeled as a PL as it certainly has the mirrors to have gone PL.



The next one will be revealed a little later as it's the subject of a GTG over here.

Very nice photos thanks for sharing.

 

Sweet pick ups especially the 1880 s Anacs soap bars they would of been mine in a NY second!

 

Oh in case you decide to let go call me first....remember I collect 80 s morgans

 

LOVE that second ANA 80-S especially but all great pickups nicely done!

 

Nice pickups Justin ..

 

I think my fav is the 80-S in the old ANACS slab.

 

All are great looking! When I lived in Bellingham that show was too far to go to. Thanks for letting me know what I missed out on.

 

Your local show is so much better than mine

 

I was blessed with some fresh material at this one. There have been some in the past with stale material. It ebbs and flows, just got to time it right.

 

I tried mine this weekend, whew felt like I was at a grading class of what not to buy. Glad you found some good stuff my friend

 

Nice purchases!

 

I've seen it like that before. I hate it when you come across nice stuff, but the dealers price them like they are the only ones that exist.

 

Oh yes next to Denny's... when I was working in the PNW, I loved that show. Used to plan my travels around it. Glad to see it's still going on.

 

Yes, it's still going. I don't know for how much longer, but I hope it can still hold on. I like it, but it can be stale at times. Thankfully this was an exception.

 

Here was the last pickup from that show. It is another PCGS Rattler.

 

Nice pickups

 

Nice pickins'! I wish I at least had a decent dealer near me let alone local shows with goodies like these.
Beautiful photography as always...
