<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BuffaloHunter, post: 26113667, member: 5821&quot;]Well, the weekend didn’t pan out completely how we’d hoped.&nbsp; Catherine is sick so this morning I waited until the dogs vet appointment, took the one pooch on that car ride 40 minutes each way, then went and got Catherine’s prescriptions from her doctor visit.&nbsp; 2-1/2 hour drive to the Twin Cities and I was on the bourse floor at about 1:30PM.&nbsp; It was absolutely nuts in there.</p><p><br /></p><p>This show, I made a beeline to the EAC guy that I mention above.&nbsp; He had some nice pieces to show me but I’ve had emptied a good portion of my wallet in the first few minutes so I walked on.&nbsp; From there I did my normal thing for the first lap, fast pace and not spending a lot of time at any table.&nbsp; I make notes of anything that catches my eye or, if the dealer obliges, I’ll take a photo or two.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here’s a few photos I took.&nbsp; The first is a little display a dealer had for Norse American medals.&nbsp; I had never seen the gold piece or the supersized version.&nbsp; Quite cool and quite spendy!&nbsp; I bought my thin medal from this guy a few years ago. The second pic is a dollar I might go back and look at again tomorrow if it’s still there.&nbsp; My pic doesn’t show the nice colors very well.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1665849[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1665850[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I picked up a few things today.&nbsp; The running boar hard times token is one I’ve bid on a few times but never won one so this was a nice score.&nbsp; The dealer took $90.&nbsp; The Dakota medal was a steal at $5.&nbsp; The 100 ounce silver bar was NOT a steal (even spot price was a spanking) but this was a request from Catherine to buy.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1665851[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>One dealer had four Wildman coins but they were of the smaller versions and the designs didn’t trip my trigger.&nbsp; One dealer had two each of the classic head cent and seated liberty quarter that I’m after that I made note of and I’ll go back to that table to make up my mind in the morning.&nbsp; If I pull the trigger on one each of those, I’m looking at $2K+ disappearing from my pocket.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since I had my surgery, this is the most walking I’ve done.&nbsp; Didn’t feel like walking anymore, or driving for that matter, so went to the restaurant in the hotel and had a nice Philly and fries.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1665853[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>More to come tomorrow![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
