<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1305565, member: 19463&quot;]I had decided not to drive three hours to the Baltimore show this weekend because I had just seen some of my favorite dealers recently and was not sure their restock would make it worth the trip.&nbsp; Then my wife got a notice that there was an estate sale of bells (what she collects) 2/3rds of the way to Baltimore on Thursday and said she was willing to go along to the coin show afterwards so I thought we&#039;d go. After spend the morning and all my money buying bells, I decided not to go anyway.&nbsp; This was the first time this show opened to the public on Thursday and I would have been upset if I drove up there and found that many dealers skipped the extra day.&nbsp; I would appreciate hearing if Thursday was well attended by the ancient/world bunch.&nbsp; Baltimore is famous for dealers leaving early Saturday afternoon and skipping Sunday so I was not sure I trusted the idea of Thursday hours.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>When I got home I still could play since I just got a coin by mail.&nbsp; I really know nothing about these except they are common late medieval silvers.</p><p>Halle, Bavaria, AR handelsheller, hand of God / cross, 0.55g (thin) 14th century??&nbsp; I understand these were made for a long time.&nbsp; Does anyone know how to tell early from late or anything else that might be of interest?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]146671.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Those who would like to see where the rest of my coin budget went, I have posted photos of the new bells but be warned there is not a coin image to be seen there:</p><p><a href="http://www.pbase.com/dougsmit/bells" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pbase.com/dougsmit/bells" rel="nofollow">http://www.pbase.com/dougsmit/bells</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
