<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tight wad, post: 417928, member: 15116&quot;]Whew! Just got home. Made some coffe and put my poor tired feet up!</p><p>I forgot everything you guys told me. Carried my redbook all day....never looked at once! Since I&#039;m not serious about any one series yet, I just bought whatever caught my eye...especailly foreign coins.</p><p>My wife on the other hand, being 40 times smater and observant than I&#039;ll ever be, settled down to work at once. In 15 minutes she had the whole joint cased,knew which dealer prices were lowest, and came to get me to grade what she was interested in. Me? Kinda like taking a duck to a cock fight!</p><p>Anyway, I have never met more cordial dealers anywhere. She found 9 examples of her coin (1934-1937) Texas Centennial commerative. I looked at them real,real close (course I picked the brightest one) and we bought our first slabbed coin, MS64 1937. She sure is proud of that coin. The dealer showed me how you check the definition of the fingers on Liberty, and boy his was the best coin by a mile. He wanted us to buy on of his 1934&#039;s saying they were a better investment, but we don&#039;t invest much...except in having fun!</p><p>I bought some good buffalo nickels, merc dimes,one Peace,tons of supplies (but not enough when I got home),and lots of foreign coins for 20cents apiece that had great artwork and were not scratched up.</p><p>One was from 1955 and said Federatina Norodna Republika Jugoslavia...how cool is that, the country doen&#039;t even exist anymore! Got my first half cent,and some big silver coin with Queen Elizabeth astride a prancing horse. </p><p>Well my wife&#039;s prize would suit the &quot;coin chat&quot; group better than my treasure, but I&#039;m really happy. When we got home, my wifes one buffalo she bougt for a dollar, was an S and had a 3/4 horn. The redbook said $2...she grinned and said &quot;lets go back!&quot;,it&#039;s only 65 mile drive.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
