Message:: [QUOTE="VACookey, post: 1169599, member: 29547"]My hubby and I went to the coin show today.  There were tons of people selling bags of junk silver. It really did seem like a silver convention and not so much a coin show at times. Kinda bums me out a little. The table where they were buying silver, they were flipping it just as fast. I don't even think they knew what they were handling. It was just buy-sell-buy-sell. I got an 1885 morgan for $50 that I swear is a proof. I could almost fix my makeup in that coin! And my husband bought a 1900 that is just flat out gorgeous. He says it's easily an MS64. I finally found an 1805 8 Reales that I really like. Stunning coin! I got a 1917 BU Walker that is, again, just plain stunning! Plus the guy selling it and his wife were a total trip to talk to. I sat there for a half hour or so just gabbing away about silver prices, old copper coins, copper tokens, Gucci purses (and how they're a waste of money) and the cool coins you can get working at a liquor store. Great people! And finally, on the way out, I saw a guy selling 2 2002 Silver British Britannias. They are reverse proof coins. Beautiful! My husband and I each got one.  Oh, and I also got a 1935 $1 Hawaii silver certificate and a bunch of hyperinflation notes from around the world (Zimbabwe, Yugoslavia, Hungary). We wanted those for historical value. The currency guy said he had a bunch of teachers buying these from him for their classes. Hmmmmm, perhaps demonstrating what could happen here if things don't change???  Anyway, today I am a very happy Cookey <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
