<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 7952124, member: 19463&quot;]Today I went to my first Coin Show since 2019.&nbsp; I bought five coins and am now in my normal phase of regretting the purchase of a couple of them.&nbsp; Since I have so few new coins this year, only one gets shown here today.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>One dealer of the three present with ancients had three sestertii of Nerva.&nbsp; I have always wanted one.&nbsp; Two were &#039;someone standing there&#039; types and the third had a really messed up portrait.&nbsp; I bought the one with the better detail on the obverse (still not a great coin by any means).&nbsp; Within an hour of my purchase, another dealer present bought the other two.&nbsp; </p><p>Nerva, AE sestertius / FORTVNA AVGVST</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1377839[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>There is another show in a few weeks but I have not decided about that one yet.&nbsp; Of the three dealers, one had raised his prices noticeably even on mediocre coins. The other two were more like I recall pre-Covid.&nbsp; One dealer said this was his first show since Covid started.&nbsp; Another said he had done seven shows in the last seven weeks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
