    5 coins I bought from my favorite dealer... Will Fragner

    Nova Scotia 1861 1 cent small bud (Paddy54 got me interested in this design) Strangely enough he only had 2 coins like this and this 1 was the better of the 2 coins for sale

    I sure enjoyed my time there today. My favorite dealers The "Fragners"... Will and his Father Joe. Will told me that his father passed away from a heart attack and his mother passed within 6 months from his father passing recently. I felt so sad hearing this. His father used to go to all the coin shows in Vegas. Joe and Will deal in world coins. I will miss his father Joe. It will be hard not seeing him there anymore.

    Just some dude and his wife I met at the previous coin show there. He collects Mexican Libertads in the highest grade for his registry set. Friendly people I enjoyed talking about coins with them.

    Will Fragner let me look threw all his 25 double wide boxes. Talk about sore neck and back. A 3rd the way threw I would get up and stretch my back then look directly up for my neck. That's a lot coins. Loved it.

    Was he mad because he was in it, or just that you were taking photos?

    i bought some Egyptian coins from Fragner last month at the show in Santa Clara CA. the Franger table was the only one selling a large a volume of world coins. it was really weird not seeing his father there.

    I belong to a camping club and we have a member who likes taking pictures of us while camping and then posting them on her public Facebook page. No one likes it due to personal and security reasons, the whole world doesn't need to know we are away from home. Don't want to come home and find my collection gone. In fact her grandson who is a meth head and former prison inmate is in jail right now for burglarizing storage units and is one of her FB friends so our concerns were justified.

    He was mad because it is a security risk to the dealers. I understand that , but this pic was just of the front door. The guy is not even in the pic. He was at the register table.

    I have noticed more and more signs at businesses that cameras and photography is not allowed (Burger King for one. WTH would I want to photograph there? LOL). I guess because almost everyone has a smart phone with a camera now.
