<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 24616784, member: 27832&quot;]Back now. Crowds were kind of slim in mid-to-late afternoon; one vendor said there was a lot of traffic from the public in the morning.</p><p><br /></p><p>I saw at least half a dozen tables with place markers for vendors who weren&#039;t there. I&#039;ll go back tomorrow and see if any of them show up.</p><p><br /></p><p>Offers for 90% silver ranged from 18x to 18x, with a couple of &quot;no thank you&quot;s. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> My usual buyer was represented by a couple of his assistants, who said he doesn&#039;t buy 90%; either they&#039;re misinformed or he&#039;s changed his policy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most interesting inventory to my eyes was from Mike&#039;s Rare Coins &amp; Errors (New Bedford, MA) -- lots of examples of most of the <i>real</i> errors that we see here, in various combinations and permutations. (He had a PCGS MS61 25-cent <i>unstruck planchet</i> with a partial missing clad layer!)</p><p><br /></p><p>I foolishly didn&#039;t capture the name of the dealer who had a PCGS VF30 <i>Humbert octagon</i> $50 gold (they were away from the table). I&#039;ll try to post a photo later. I don&#039;t believe I&#039;ve ever seen even an image of a well-circulated <i>Half Union</i>.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
