<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kanga, post: 407584, member: 9270&quot;]I was there yesterday (Friday) from about 9:30AM to 1PM.</p><p>The dealers appeared to be manning their tables although some slipped out for lunch.</p><p>There were plenty of customers, but not a crush. Makes sense considering the day and time.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The dealers brought their high-end stuff.</p><p>I wanted a couple AU SL dimes. No way. I couldn&#039;t even stretch my budget to get a MS-63 because the coins were mostly MS-65. Or more.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A friend of mine wanted a set of business strike Presidential dollars.</p><p>No such animal at THIS show.</p><p>Table prices were so high that dealers couldn&#039;t afford to bring such inexpensive stuff.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My time went something like this:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1. I entered</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://home.comcast.net/~dcderoo/Entrance.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>2. I looked around:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://home.comcast.net/~dcderoo/Inside.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>3. I bought <i>Numismatic Photography</i> by Mark Goodman.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>4. I sent two coins to NGC:</p><p>&nbsp; a. A coin slabbed 1858 LL Flying Eagle that&#039;s really a 1858/7.</p><p>If it crosses over at the same grade AND gets the attribution, a $200 buy turns into about a $2000 coin.</p><p>&nbsp; b. An ANACS MS-65 1923 SLQ that I hope crosses over at the same grade (or better would be nice <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>5. But the main reason I went was to get some sort of 1790&#039;s US coin.</p><p>And I did.</p><p>It&#039;s the least expensive variety of the least expensive US 1790&#039;s coin.</p><p>It&#039;s a 1798 Cent, Second Hair:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://home.comcast.net/~dcderoo/1-1798-XF45BN-25.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And that was my time at the show, other than looking a lot.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
