<p>[QUOTE="BNB Analytics, post: 670592, member: 20117"]Hi, I'd like start off and give a personal shout out to Illini420 and The Penny Lady! I met Illini420 there and we hung out and walked around the whole entire time. He is such a nice and smart guy. I can't say enough good things about him. Plus, he has some amazing coins for sale so if you ever want any just ask him what he's selling and I'm sure he'll give you a good deal.</p><p><br /></p><p>Penny Lady, nice meeting you for my first time. Your 1909s VDB was cool looking and I'm sure people who love penny's will love you, because you know your stuff!</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, onto the show. I got a 1921-d Mercury Dime NGC in VF30 condition. Krispy, sorry, but NGC and PCGS are the only grading services I'll use now. Sometimes I just have to bend. But that's as low as I'll go, since they are both very good.</p><p><br /></p><p>It's a gorgeous coin, I paid $340 for it and believe me, every dealer I showed it to was very impressed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, prices here were kinda high overall from the deals I've been spotting out on eBay but it was a hell of a learning experience.</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought some dollar star notes and a chunk of intercept shield holders <span style="color: Red">EDITED - please no offers to trade/sell.</span></p><p><br /></p><p>This overall was a great show. Most the tables were filled, dealers were dealers, some went out of there way to help, others just wanted money. Either way, this is my second coin show and I enjoyed it a lot. I got to take a look at a lot of coins like the 1937-d 3 leg buffalo nickel, 1908 no motto st gaudens, I saw my silver 100 oz bullion(OMG so beautiful but smaller than i imagined), and yeah, a lot more left to be desired.</p><p><br /></p><p>I plan on hitting up the show in long beach and I'm a happy and more informed man after going to this show. Oh, and I did get a coin piece. It's a bausch and lomb 5x <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Hope this experience post helps and yeah, the show was a great learning experience. For those new, definitely go to coin shows even if you don't buy. They are great to soak up knowledge and experience under your belt.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

It's a gorgeous coin, I paid $340 for it and believe me, every dealer I showed it to was very impressed. Now, prices here were kinda high overall from the deals I've been spotting out on eBay but it was a hell of a learning experience.
