<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scotty1418, post: 677142, member: 19976&quot;]I just got back from my first real show (after collecting off and on for about 10 years). </p><p><br /></p><p>I was able to catch this show back in May, but just went to peruse and get a feel for the atmosphere/dealers. This time around I was prepared with lists, guides, and a budget!</p><p><br /></p><p>My overall perception was that the show was sold out for space but on Saturday the show traffic seemed rather quiet. This of course didn&#039;t stop the aisles from being difficult to manage - factor 2 occupied chairs on each side and 1 person going each way and you had a traffic jam. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve previously done many shows for different hobbies (military/gun shows) and have been far happier with attitudes from coin dealers. One dealer even let me have a previous issue of the graysheet so I could know current values for the peace set.</p><p><br /></p><p>My finds for the show were: </p><p>-Kennedy: &#039;65 SMS, &#039;66 SMS, &#039;67 SMS, 68-S all for $20</p><p>-1952-s Franklin in AU for $20</p><p>-1949-s Franklin in MS and 1951 Booker T Washington in AU for $45</p><p>-1926 Peace (MS) and 1935 Peace in AU for $60</p><p>-1928-S Peace (AU) and 1921 Peace (AU) for $140 <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Overall, I was quite happy as I got 2 of the 3 Franklins still needed for my set and got that much closer to finishing my Peace collection - especially with a $110 AU Peace! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m attaching some pictures of the 1921. There&#039;s luster/toning present around the edges in a circular way, but likely not enough to get &#039;55 in my opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y239/scotty1418/IMG_5860.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y239/scotty1418/IMG_5861.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y239/scotty1418/IMG_5862.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y239/scotty1418/IMG_5863.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y239/scotty1418/IMG_5864.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
