<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim M, post: 173674, member: 4791&quot;]Well now.&nbsp; This show was in Southfield Michigan.&nbsp; Talk about a crowded show.&nbsp; The place was packed.&nbsp; Most of the same dealers, pretty much the same crowd, however, NO KIDS.&nbsp; I always watch for the kids at shows, this one was old farts like me.&nbsp;&nbsp; I have never seen so many dipped, whizzed, cleaned, Morgan Dollars in one show in my life.&nbsp; I swear I think most of the dealers stopped at the local hardware store on the way in to the show. Maybe all shows are like this and I just noticed it more at this one for some reason.&nbsp; I did manage to pick up a decent AU 1886S Morgan, A few Kennedy&#039;s some Canadian Stuff though.&nbsp; NO FRANKLINS, I dont remember the last time I didnt grab a Franklin at a show, Nothing caught my attention this time.&nbsp; Most of the stuff was the usual this and that. I did run into one dealer though, He had some nice NICE stuff, albeit I think overgraded.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Of course when your on the floor side the grades seem lowerr than when your behind the table!&nbsp; : )&nbsp;&nbsp; He had a few of the 09S IHC&nbsp; in what he called VF, I called VG. This liberty stuff has me confused I guess.&nbsp;&nbsp; Anyway, I passed on the prices.&nbsp; He had a 1901S Barber Quarter that I was really pondering.&nbsp; I thought the grade was a VG, none of liberty showed but it had nice rims. (I had always graded them with 3 of liberty to be a VG) Here I was thinking around $5-6K..&nbsp;&nbsp; He floored me with a price of 9.5K&nbsp;&nbsp; arghh..&nbsp; Pass again</p><p><br /></p><p>Overall the show was good, at least thats my impression, I do question my ability to grade coins or at least what I perceive to be grades from the &quot;old&quot; days.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is another show in two weeks that I plan on going to. We will see what that one brings.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Get a kid involved, the hobby is gonna suffer if we don&#039;t.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
