1st coinshow, met CT'ers Fugio and silver certs

First show ever today, what an experience and glad I didn't bring alot of money. Met Stainless, Silverstruck and Borgovan and was glad I did . Hung out with Stainless and Silverstruck for awhile, then picked up a couple '57B silver certs (very weak center fold) and a Fugio . No one I asked had UHR for sale. Also saw a $400 1968? proof nickel dark violet/blue chrome look totally covering Obv. Awesome. Next time I'll have to bring my list and prices to pay. Some pics:

Are you sure the continental dollar is real? It looks to be cast. Or dug up. But I would have to go with the first of the two...

Freaky

 

Thanks. Yeah, it was great to meet. It wasn't like meeting a stranger where you have to try and figure out what to say after awhile. I didn't take much with me, so I did good with the self restraint! My dad tried to talk me into going half on a 5lb silver medal and would cover me for my half. I think he wanted it, but didn't want my mom to kill him . Had to pull him off a bunch of times and he still bought alot more than me. Caught the fugio when trying to leave in the 1/2 off bin for 2.25 and scribbled out the replica with MS paint.( i figured it would be freaky would call me on that) Getting closer to a real one all the time.

 

Wise young owl you are

 

Way to go Noost :high5:...it's always Great to save your DAD! LOL..
That was a funny story..I can picture it in my mind!

That is life at it's best!!

Was this the Minnesota show???? I should of went just to meet the oh famous stainless!!!

 

He's been dubbed "The Snail" so that makes him a wise young snail.

Ribbit

 

Haha. Yep, that is me. :mouth: I gotta point out the obvious.

 

Nice. It is a lot of fun to meet other members in person. I love to hear stories of sons keeping dads out of trouble with moms. Keep up the good work.

 

You guys in those upper, cold, dreary states couldn't have as great coin shows as the ones in Illinois. If you ever get here, let us know. Always trying to find someone at those shows to buy coffee.
