<p>[QUOTE="ksparrow, post: 424867, member: 7638"]I just went to my first show yesterday- Richmond, Va.- had a great time. Had a chance to look at several 1921 Peace dollars at one time, compare strike, luster, etc, no comparison to looking at online photos. Met some really nice folks who sell, one said "Oh, look what I just got in a trade" and proceeds to place in my hand an immaculate proof SL dollar, half, quarter, and dime, all separated from my sweaty palm by a mylar flip. Lord knows what they were traded for, I was too stunned to ask. Then he pulled out two 1795 cents, both vf, graded by different companies, and proceeded to show me which was the better coin and why. Very instructive, and fun! I wound up buying a Conn. comm. half from him, and a nice Weimar coin from someone else.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
