<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Publius2, post: 12085818, member: 105571&quot;]I was there from 10 to 1.&nbsp; More empty tables than I recall from previous episodes of this show.&nbsp; Pretty steady traffic but not crowded.&nbsp; Bought a 1943 steelie, PCGS MS-67 with a nice reverse die break.&nbsp; Also a 1833 half dime raw, well worn, for $10 that might be a R-7 cherrypick.&nbsp; Won&#039;t know until it goes under the microscope.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Also got a coprolite for the 5 year old grandson for Christmas.&nbsp; What 5 year old boy wouldn&#039;t like dinosaur poop?!</p><p><br /></p><p>Saw Insider but he was busy so didn&#039;t say hello.</p><p><br /></p><p>ANACS had a table.&nbsp; Didn&#039;t see PCGS or NGC but didn&#039;t expect to see them at this show.</p><p><br /></p><p>Spent some time with West Coast Coins but didn&#039;t buy anything.&nbsp; Looked closely at a 1839 No Drapery half in VF-25 which had nice original surfaces and a circcam look about it.&nbsp; Also a 1796 LM-1 &quot;Likerty&quot; half dime in VF-35.&nbsp; OK coin but more weakly struck on obverse left than usual for this coin.&nbsp; He also showed me the five, yes 5, 1916 SLQs he&#039;d brought to the show, four in VG-8 and one AU-55.&nbsp; The two coins I really liked though were two Morgans (don&#039;t remember the dates), both in Proof 6, yes 6!</p><p><br /></p><p>Received several comments on how much I&#039;d grown out my hair, usually accompanied with the &quot;hairy eyeball&quot; look.&nbsp; It&#039;s now fully covering even my old man earlobes.&nbsp; One very nice lady said she liked it to which I replied, after thanking her, that my wife has been very patient but asked me the other day if I was next going to go with cargo shorts and Birkenstocks?</p><p><br /></p><p>Got killed by a monsoon rainstorm and road closures on the way home which turned an hour trip into 2-1/2 hours of misery.&nbsp; Gave me time to contemplate how I would explain the fossilized dino poop to the trooper if pulled over.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
