<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chip, post: 1992373, member: 19122&quot;]I visited a local show yesterday, some of the things I was looking for were not to be had, but I did buy an&nbsp; 1910 Indian quarter eagle for 245, I know that these coins were counterfeited like crazy through the years, but no tooling marks that I saw especially around the back of the neck, no depressions in the coins surface, a few marks of handling, the coin did not have the appearance of being sent through a rock tumbler. </p><p>I usually see these coins about 280 or so, I am not sure about what they sell for on ebay since I do not patronize that venue.</p><p><br /></p><p>The other thing I picked up was the last coin to complete my late fathers washington quarter set, he had picked up his coins from circulation back in the 1960s when he became interested in coins, but I have finished the last 4 from junque silver except for the 32-d and the final coin, a 32-s bought in a pcgs slab,&nbsp; graded as an xf45, the old cdn lists them at between&nbsp; 160 and 180, I paid 175.</p><p><br /></p><p>I saw my first wayte raymond album, a year set that was filled from 1949 to 1956, the owner showed it to me and said it was so nice that he was not ever going to be in a hurry to sell it. He told me the coins were probably picked up at a bank as they came out, I did not challenge the assumption but these coins were blast white and my suspicion was that the owner bought the album in order to tone the coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>So when he said he was not in a hurry to sell it , I told him I did not blame him, if it were mine I would not be selling it either.</p><p><br /></p><p>The other purchase I picked up was Dr. Petersons attribution guide for bust half dollars, the first one I have seen and paid 95 for it, no signs of use, so it was if not new, it was like new. </p><p><br /></p><p>One dealer had two small eagle 1795 dollars, one was marked details 30, harsh cleaning and boy that was an understatement the other was marked as a clean 15 , I thought maybe a details grade might be the way for me to get one of those small eagles for the collection, but he priced it at 4200 he said cdn listed a 30 as 4800, </p><p><br /></p><p>I looked at lots of coins, and spent about two hours at the show, I spent less than half the money I brought, time to start saving up for the next show, which will probably be csns next april.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
