Message:: [QUOTE="Treashunt, post: 269513, member: 6763"]Milwaukee show was really fun.  Although, I did not get many coins there, and everyone wanted full retail, and retail was over trends, aside from that it was great.  I did manage to get three upgrades: Barber dimes: 1909 S AU-50+, upgrade from a F-12, and that one I bought in October, 2002                       1897 O, Unc (MS-60+) Upgrade from a VF-35, that I have been using since Sept. 2001.(Just to get an idea of how hard it is to get nice pieces for a high grade set, trying to put together a raw set, in all AU+. Perhaps I'll never be finished.)Barber Quarters:                        only one: 1907 S, VF-30. replaced a VG-8, that has been holding the spot since April, 2005.                       Although a higher mintage (1,360,000) I have found that it is extremely underrated.                       I have bought everyone that I have seen without problems for years, and only have #11 pieces, and of those 7 are AG or commercial goods. And only 2 are VG. (No fines).                       A very underrated date. I overpaid for it, $80 vs trends of $75, but, I have never seen another. The ANA dinner was also very nice, I got another special edition Guide Book for my collection.And had Ken Bressett sign it for me.  I also added a signed (Yeoman) 4th edition, and a 26th edition Blue Book-- signed by Yeoman to a contributor. All in all, a very nice two days.[/QUOTE]
