<p>[QUOTE=&quot;beef1020, post: 1438818, member: 24544&quot;]Just got back from my first EAC convention, quick weekend trip with the family so I spent one day at the show and one day at the falls. Got into the Bourse around 10:00 AM with the goal of meet people I only know on the internet as well as add to my 96 liberty cap set.&nbsp; Speaking of 96 liberty caps, there was a sweet 12+ S84 in the auction later that night.</p><p><br /></p><p>First up was checking out Tom Reynold&#039;s table, he has an early date collection on consignment.&nbsp; He had some really nice vg 94s which a couple months ago I would have bought, but I was focused on the 96 caps.&nbsp; Next up was CVM&#039;s table who had a nice S81 although a little porous on the reverse, and a pretty sweet vg S89 which caught my eye.&nbsp; Finally made my way over to Bob LaForme&#039;s table and introduced myself where I also meet two other internet friends Gary and Eric.&nbsp; For those who don&#039;t know, Bob is pretty much the go to guy for late date die states and I had a couple coins I wanted to show him.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>After some lunch I headed over to lot viewing for the auction later that night. Checked out the S84 and was disappointed, the description mentioned &#039;light red patina&#039; but it was a little too red for me. On the bright side, this freed up most of my budget for other coins, of which there were a ton of really nice late dates.&nbsp; There were also some really nice 1802 and 1803s but I figured they would go out of my price range.</p><p><br /></p><p>Needless to say, I was quite happy with my auction results.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>1847 N12 die c with cud at *9-*10, 35/30 which puts it middle of around 40 known:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]176749.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]176750.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>1852 N11 die b, graded 40/40 &#039;nearly choice&#039; by Grellman:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]176751.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]176752.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
