Went to the South Carolina Numismatic Annual Show this past weekend. The show seemed to be busy with Seasoned Buyers as well as younger collectors picking up deals where they could. Spot silver was being sold at around 12 X Face and several dealers had lower grade Morgans (Common dates) for sale for $20 each. After making a round around the tables I picked up three Slabbed Morgan dollars to add to my collection. An 1885 PCGS OGH MS-64 with a CAC label, 1881-S NCG Fatty Holder MS62 PL and a 1881-S NGC Fatty Holder MS-65. This dealer had a large collection of quality MS-64 MS-65 and MS-65+ Morgans all Graded by PCGS and NGC at very reasonable Prices. I picked up 6 Civil War Tokens for a friend of mine. Next I stopped at dealers table and was looking at his slabbed discount Morgans when I ran across a 1885 Dollar in a old PCI Green Label Holder Graded MS-67. It was an amazing coin and his asking price was $190. I just wasn't sure where it would grade if I sent it in to be Re-graded so I passed on it. He also had a collection of Nice Looking Morgans in NGS Holders. They looked very much like NGC holders and if you were in a Hurry they could be mistaken as such. I bought a 1879-S Morgan Graded MS-65 for around MS-63 Bid. As always Buy the coin NOT the holder. After that I was pretty much spent out so after doing a little more looking I left and went home. All in all Not a Bad day I guess.
