<p>[QUOTE="C-B-D, post: 2410547, member: 43130"]Day 2, Friday, was rough for me. I wasted my money trying for a couple "show upgrades" on coins that I thought had a good chance of upgrading, but they failed. So I walked around grumpy most of the day feeling like an idiot for trying. (Like I don't already hand PCGS enough of my money). But things looked up a little as I found a couple toners (not pictured) that were relatively inexpensive. And yes, I didn't learn my lesson, so I turned them in for grading, but economy this time, so I threw less money at PCGS this time around. I sold one coin for a 25% profit, so that was my only real excitement. All in all, the crowd was smaller but relatively steady. Dealers were all giddy because gold and silver were rising fast.</p><p><br /></p><p>On day 3, I didn't know what to expect. Luckily, as the big dealers were packing up and leaving at 11 a.m., I found some amazing toners from some of the smaller dealers who were there for the long haul. I got these on Saturday, for a premium, but within reason. Also got these first two - one at the show and one in the mail when I got home, that both look badly under graded to me. Additionally, when I got home I realized the 1844-O half dollar was a RPD, so I had a nice accidental cherrypick there. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]498111[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]498112[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]498113[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]498114[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]498115[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]498116[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]498117[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
