[QUOTE="Publius2, post: 5006320, member: 105571"]This past Sunday, I attended my first coin show since last February. It was the monthly show in Melbourne, FL by my club, the South Brevard Coin Club. There were about 30 dealers and I saw some active dealer-to-dealer business and less active dealer-to-collector activity. Rekindled friendships with some guys I hadn't seen and caught up on news, both personal and numismatic. A ran across one dealer who didn't seem very interested in doing business. Pretty much ignored me for five minutes while he counted some bills and then seemed offended when I walked off. Too bad for him because I was in a buying mood. Not a very good performance with social distancing but masks were ubiquitous. I did buy one coin, a 1938-D Buffalo in NGC MS-66. Nothing super but nice luster and a bit of attractive toning. One dealer showed me a NGC 1937 PR-66 Buffalo that looked like it was chrome-plated both in color and reflectivity. He had just sold it to another dealer and it went for a pretty good premium over the Graysheet price guide, about 30%. Next week (19th-21st) is the Lakeland, FL Collect-O-Rama show and I'll be attending that. Next up is FUN in January.[/QUOTE]
