<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2014382, member: 19463&quot;]The Baltimore show yesterday wore me out (partly due to the 3 hour ride each way on the club charter bus).&nbsp; The only coin I have photographed of the 13 that followed me home is a type I have wanted for at least 20 years but is is not the #1 want of its series (there is one half its size I really want) and is such a terrible specimen.&nbsp;&nbsp; I look forward to replacing it someday.&nbsp; acsearch shows a few better ones; Svoronos actually shows a couple that are worse.&nbsp; We all have to ask whether we should buy a &#039;space filler&#039; or just do without.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]363345[/ATTACH] </p><p>Rather than ID this right now, I&#039;ll post it as an ID challenge for those who think they are skilled in such things.&nbsp; The coin is 5mm at its widest point and weighs 0.15g.&nbsp; It came with a very old and properly IDed envelope from an equally old group of coins suggesting it was part of a collection for several decades.&nbsp; Considering the number of coins I bought at the show, it seems like one that anyone with any sense would leave behind but you know me better than that. </p><p><br /></p><p>I really enjoyed the Baltimore show.&nbsp; Two people read the name tag and greeted me as having enjoyed my website.&nbsp; A dealer I had not seen for ten years greeted me and remembered what I collected back then (I collect everything now).&nbsp; At least some of the other coins will get photographed and posted over the next few days.&nbsp; One was even selected for this group&#039;s preferences (a female portrait animal coin).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
