<p>[QUOTE="Jim M, post: 677547, member: 4791"]The first time that all the tables have been sold. I would say based on what I seen there was above average numbers in attendance.

Most tell me that it was a good show and people were there SELLING. I finally got to see some fresh Bust Halves, a Decent selection of Large Cents and some Average Circ Barbers. But thats not the Grand Prize. I got to hold in my hand, probably the best assembled set of PROOF V nickels in the world. The guy that owned finished it in about 1960. I watched it change hands from the collector to the dealer. I was offered the set but can not let loose of that kind of change right now. Each coin in this set was meant to be next to the coin it was with. Alot of the coins were rainbow toned on the reverse. I dare say that the proofs were in the Pr66 range and most were in the 67 range a few may hit 68. <b>What a set</b>. I have never seen anything like this and sure I never will again. It was in a black capital holder and after me talking to the dealer should be heading to PCGS for a custom made complete set holder all authenticated and graded. I think this will pull in the 6 figures when it goes up at Heritage as a complete set, Its THAT nice.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
