<p>[QUOTE="heavycam.monstervam, post: 3178495, member: 73448"]Here is a mini show report for those interested. I got there at 10 a.m. when the doors opened. Place was seemingly packed, elbow to elbow which seemed strange being that the Buckeyes game was kicking off at noon. I went shopping and located at least 5 '09 Lincolns that looked good from a distance. All were either MS65-66 RB or BN i couldnt pull the trigger on ANY of them. Either they had spots or there was a rough rub spot on the cheek, ugggghhhh !! There was one that was OK i guess but just didnt speak to me, especially after the dealer was tacking on an extra $50 to the numismedia retail value. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie20" alt=":banghead:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Anywho, i did actually find a Morgan that spoke to me >>>[ATTACH=full]818505[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]818506[/ATTACH]</p><p>Around 11:30am i met up with [USER=17304]@kazuma78[/USER] as i was trying to haggle with a dealer over a 1906 IHC MS64RB, i asked him to come to the table and maybe weigh in on the coin. Hoping to get a better price than the $165 he had on the price tag. It had nice color but wasnt something i was willing to pay that much of a premium for.
