<p>[QUOTE=&quot;asciibaron, post: 364474, member: 8566&quot;]i took my 6 yr old son to the Annapolis coin show on Sunday where we met up with my father.&nbsp; he was walking the floor picking up deals as he found them.&nbsp; i had a few things in mind to look for and set out about doing that.&nbsp; we sit down at the table of a dealer who knows&nbsp; my father from way back, 3 generations are looking at coins - i&#039;m checking out a few world coins, my son some Mercury dimes, and my father is working up a lot of Canadian.&nbsp; think real hard on that for a minute - 3 generations at one table nose deep in coins, if only we had a picture.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>i bought a Denmark 10 ore in XF with a lamination problem, my son picked out 3 Mercury dimes, and who knows what my father bought.&nbsp; as my son and i were looking through the stack of Canadian coins from the lot, the dealer hands my son a Russian 1765 5 kopeks in decent condition.&nbsp; my son picks up the coin and than a loupe.&nbsp; this gets a laugh out of a few people - it&#039;s a rather large coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>i start to hand the coin back and the dealer says my son can keep it.&nbsp; i gave him a look and he smiled and told me it was fine.&nbsp; my son thanked him and shook his hand.&nbsp; at the last Annapolis show, we picked up a 1762 Peter III coin for a decent deal, but had i been looking to pickup this coin this time, i would have paid market value.&nbsp; my son has all the luck.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://asciibaron.dyndns.org/images/coin/Russia_5_Kopeks_1765.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
