    today was my first coin show it was small from what i have read 9 or 10 tables . it was interesting. saw a coumpe of dealers i know and met some new dealers. filled some holes in a couple sets . finished 2 jefferson sets.
    i picked up .

    wheat
    1913s g4
    1816s g4

    jefferson
    1943d fine
    1979s type II

    barber dimes

    1899s g
    1903s g
    1904s g
    1909s g
    1915s g
    only have 16 to finish the setand i am looking at a 1895o vf if i can find the money needed.
    the show was productive for me and my wife , her first show too. she picked up 2 rings she liked. i may leave her home next time.more money for coins for me less eings for her (lol) we even got to go out for dinner alone, a first in many mounths.

    Rick -
    Was that the show in Clarksburg? I was going to head up to that one today, but I have already been to the Charleston show and the Parkersburg/Marietta show. How was it? Looks like you had a good haul!!!! There were supposed to be some guys there from Charleston that had tables.

    mywife and i both enjoyed the show . i just wish they were better advertised. and that there were more of them . my main goal was to find the 1979s type II jefferson to bring my wifes book 2007 . qll mint a d types i can find. and of course my barber dime set the most interesting thing i saw was a person carring around a glass bolck bank with Essoon the glass full of V nickels trying to find a value ? i would place that on the mantel and just look at it . most were well worn , a very nice conversation piece.i can't wate till there is another show close enough that we can go to . much better than the flea market.

    Sounds like you did good. Always enjoy looking through new stock at shows (big or small). Beats looking through the same stuff at the dealers shop over and over!:D

    Not that I am at all prejudiced, but :thumb: on those Barbers!

    Ya saw a 95 O in VF?
    Slabbed?
    What were they asking for it?

    Small shows can be a great time. I know I love them.

    More intimate. May not be as many coins but sometimes you'll find a good one cheap.
