<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Swiego, post: 1579165, member: 41881&quot;]I was there on Friday and hope to attend tomorrow. Many dealers, but I felt a bit disappointed by what I saw after 12 months of learning ebay. I saw many &quot;steps&quot; Jeffersons that were maybe 3FS or 3.5FS priced at 6FS. I went looking for a high grade flying eagle cents, but the only two I saw we&#039;re labeled MS yet had a lot of breast feather wear. Most dealers were busy interacting with regulars on Friday, so I ended up feeling as though I was getting a bit of a cold shoulder. </p><p><br /></p><p>The exhibits were interesting and well done. I suspect there was some parental help involved; I was not given thousands of dollars worth of coins as a kid to exhibit! The one on fashion through coinage was very interesting to me. Do check it out. </p><p><br /></p><p>One dealer had a set of 11 proof trade dollars... All slabbed, about PR63, $38,000. I told him those were lovely coins but he stared at me with a look that told me I&#039;d best move on. That was the one set that really took my breath away. Otherwise it seemed like a lot of the same stuff shown in VFW lodges. </p><p><br /></p><p>Some nice ancient tables though, and one guy had a bunch of large cents laid out... Several hundred I think. I was very impressed at the selection and quality, and was very interested in a good type coin or two, but the prices seemed a bit high (2x) what I was seeing online, greysheet bid, etc. so I backed off to do some research. Nice coins though.</p><p><br /></p><p>everyone was talking about the location, and everyone had an opinion. </p><p><br /></p><p>I am hoping to find a lead on my FE cent. My wife sat with some ladies by the concession stand and apparently was introduced to the former head of the FE cent club even as I was getting frustrated by lack of coins to look at. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
