<p>[QUOTE=&quot;messydesk, post: 3067725, member: 1765&quot;]I spent Thursday through Saturday at CSNS parked at James Sego&#039;s very busy table shooting pictures of some &quot;Eclectic Numismatic Treasures,&quot; some of which I&#039;ll post here from time to time, plus a bunch of other coins. Attendance seemed a bit light, but I don&#039;t know that lack of show grading was the driving reason behind this. Caught up with several people I see only at shows, including CRO, Dave Wnuck, John Dannreuther, David McCarthy, , some VAM guys that showed up Saturday, and others I apologize for not mentioning. Stack&#039;s-Bowers had some great stuff on display from upcoming sales, including a 1913 nickel, which was not as cool as the Una and the Lion £5 they had as part of a British 1839 proof set.</p><p><br /></p><p>I took a big plunge in Wednesday night&#039;s auction and bought this 1795 flowing hair dollar</p><p><a href="http://varslab.com/misc/1795bb27-9963.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://varslab.com/misc/1795bb27-9963.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://varslab.com/misc/1795bb27-9963.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p>I behaved and put the checkbook away Thursday and Friday, only to spot this broadstruck 21-S Morgan that I had to bring home</p><p><a href="http://varslab.com/misc/21s1dbs.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://varslab.com/misc/21s1dbs.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://varslab.com/misc/21s1dbs.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p>Keeping in the spirit of the fire alarm that went off at CSNS a couple years ago, causing everyone to look around and decide, &quot;yeah, um, no fire, so not going outside,&quot; today we were treated to the serenade of a Brinks truck siren in the hall for several minutes before they opened the overhead door and drove it outside.</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, in case anyone was at the show late today and saw someone standing on a chair taking pictures info a case, that was me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
