<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Eidolon, post: 8242734, member: 102103&quot;]Went to a coin show a little while ago for the first time in a few years.</p><p>Some general impressions:</p><p><br /></p><p>Fewer tables than in some past years.</p><p>Most dealers focussed on American coinage, only a few had world coins.&nbsp; (normal)</p><p>Lots of slabbed coinage compared to in the past.</p><p>Prices seemed quite high.&nbsp; Lots of stuff I might not find in my local coin shop,</p><p>but for those which were comparable, prices seemed substantially higher.</p><p>Fewer &quot;junk&quot; bins to pick though at the tables, and not much interesting there.&nbsp; I used to be able to get lots of low-grade 1800s (and earlier) coins from junk bins at shows.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, it would have been a shame to have left with all my money still in my pocket, so here are a few photos of coins I got there.</p><p><br /></p><p>Netherlands, Overijssel Province, 1766, 1 Duit</p><p>I think there were 2 versions of duit that year.&nbsp; The normal one looks like <a href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces8333.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces8333.html" rel="nofollow">this</a> (1741-1769).&nbsp; <a href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces108610.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces108610.html" rel="nofollow">This one</a> has a tiny bust of Willem V below the date on the reverse, and was only made from 1766-1767 (1767 is rare).&nbsp; Numista says is was a circulating commemorative to celebrate Willem V being made Stadtholder.&nbsp; The title would become obsolete after Willem V, with his son being the first King of the United Netherlands.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1451059[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
