so i just got back form the local coin show ( austin texas, in round rock ) I spent 5 hours+ there and did not purchase a single US coin. I am kind of shocked myself to be fare i did look at some nice raritys, like high grade commems ( old style ) and talked to several dealers, but all of my cash went towords my mexico type sets. I have just about completed my mexico peso and centavo sets, it was a lot of fun! I also got to handle one of the finest known 1910 caballito pesos! it was absolutly wonderful, almost flawless! and a little to much $$$$ for me... I will post more info about my finds, maybe a pic or two of my completed albums it was also fun listeneing to the dealers bad mouth diferent coins ( "those modern commemoratives are junk!", "ALL paper money is over-valued!", "US coins are for people that don't want to think" ) the opinions expressed in the quotes are NOT MINE but stuff i over heard, it was kind of funny. anywho, i am still a little high from my coin spree, i will post more specific info whn i have calmed down and gone through all of my stuff... boy am i having fun! any one else go to the austin area coin show today? ( wingate inn off of 35 )
