<p>[QUOTE=&quot;contrarian740, post: 1342674, member: 35150&quot;]Just made it back from the show about two hours ago. Found a 1883-CC Morgan MS66+ CAC and a 1947 Walker MS-65 CAC. The Walker is well struck for a 47 and I can&#039;t see any significant hits on it and can&#039;t imagine why it&#039;s graded MS-65 ... ? Anyway, I paid way too much for both of these, but they were the best I could find without jumping up a grade for either. That wouldn&#039;t have been a big deal for the Walker, but I&#039;m trying to put together a short set of the best 65&#039;s I can find. The Morgan on the other hand, jumps significantly in price to go to that next grade up. </p><p><br /></p><p>I also bought one of those fingle fangle microscope photo thingies to make good internet photos of coins. I&#039;ll be posting photos as soon as I figure out how to put this thingamabob together ... and then learn how to use it. I&#039;m far too tired to even open the box tonight, but promise photos soon.</p><p><br /></p><p>As Chris said, we met at the show and I met a few others from this MB and we all had a great time. This was my first show after an absence of about thirty years since my last one. Now I can&#039;t wait for the next one. By the way ... the girlfriend Chris referrenced is my wife.</p><p><br /></p><p>Everyone here that hasn&#039;t been to one of these should put it on your calender whenever you can swing it. It&#039;s a great experience and you&#039;ll see more material in one day than you will visiting coin shops for ten years. You&#039;ll also make connections with dearlers that specialize in your area of interest. The best part is that many of these dealers gave me cards and said &quot;if you see anything of mine on eBay, call me first and I&#039;ll discount better and we can avoid all that best offer back and forth.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve got a pocketful of cards now from dealers who list most of their material on eBay, and I know they&#039;re legit having seen and met them. That&#039;s a definite plus when sending money to some unknown person on eBay. </p><p><br /></p><p>-Rick[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
