<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Stujoe, post: 801, member: 11&quot;]Just so hapens, I went to the biggest coin show of my life last week; The New Silver Dollar Show in StL. It had about 250 tables.</p><p><br /></p><p>I went in with a few specific coin goals but only fulfilled one main one. I bought a nice VF 1908-S IHC. When I first saw it, it I though EF. It had even color, next to no circulation contact marks and very nice detail. Finding that made the show a success for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also bought a couple of nice, original looking, Fine Barber Dimes for my collection that day.</p><p><br /></p><p>The next day, my most prized purchase was a Dix Civil War Token. Again, it was a coin that I saw in a case and it just spoke to me. I have wanted a CWT for a while for my US type set (and this specific type design too) but often the ones I see in my price range $10-$15 are not the most pleasant speciments. This one is circulated but has nice detail and a pleasing look to my eye. It will be in next weeks grading challenge.</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought a few other &#039;junk&#039; coins out of junk boxes that day including a nice toned war nickel and the SMS Lincoln in this week&#039;s grading challenge.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also bought a dark, dark toned AU Columbian Commem that just spoke to me because it was so dark...and so cheap <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Coins like this one usually get dipped at some point.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
