<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Billy Kingsley, post: 709769, member: 19456&quot;]Being a low-end collector, my new additions are probably nothing to most people on here but I enjoy them and that is the only reason to buy them, right?</p><p>I ended up with a handfull of uncirculated or nearly so Mercury dimes from my friend Larry at Sea Eagle coins. This is a 38 but I also got a couple of the 1940s examples. I had not had ANY uncirculated silver before, so these are kind of unusual in my collection.</p><p>Sorry the pic blurred a little...looked better until I cropped them down...</p><p><img src="http://images50.fotki.com/v399/photos/3/348354/6136805/100_5602Copy-vi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://images50.fotki.com/v399/photos/3/348354/6136805/100_5603-vi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>I ended up bringing home 12 Barber dimes from the show. Before I left I had a grand total of 6 Barber coins from all denominations combined. (1 half, 2 quarters and 3 dimes) </p><p>This dime is the best condition of the new examples. Another find from Larry&#039;s Under $20 box!</p><p><img src="http://images51.fotki.com/v732/photos/3/348354/6136805/100_5604-vi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://images50.fotki.com/v395/photos/3/348354/6136805/100_5605-vi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>In addition to the 12 dimes, I also nabbed three Barber quarters. (all from Larry). This is the example with the best look.</p><p><img src="http://images51.fotki.com/v749/photos/3/348354/6136805/100_5616-vi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://images52.fotki.com/v640/photos/3/348354/6136805/100_5617-vi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Yet another find from Larry&#039;s under $20 box...The best Liberty V nickel I have EVER seen. 1883. The obverse photo came out too blurry to post. Before I bought this example I had never seen one in person that retained the Liberty on the obverse! </p><p><img src="http://images50.fotki.com/v1570/photos/3/348354/6136805/100_5619-vi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This 1951 D half came from a dealer in the secondary room. I BELIEVE I can safely credit it&#039;s purchase to Clayton Rare Coins, where it formerly resided in the 30% off price marked bin...again, the Obverse picture is too blurry to post...</p><p><img src="http://images51.fotki.com/v749/photos/3/348354/6136805/100_5624-vi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>I know this picture is really lousy, but I want to share at least one example of the Buffalos I bought. These two came out of the $1 bin at the Coins of Merritt table. The left coin is 1920, the right is 1930. The 20 is now my oldest Buffalo. I brought home 7 Buffalo nickels, the second highest totals for designs...all are well circulated but still retained a full date (pretty much my only requirement of adding them to my collection!)</p><p><img src="http://images52.fotki.com/v637/photos/3/348354/6136805/100_5630-vi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>And...one final picture...My first EVER coin show addition to my collection, Rick Snow&#039;s store card! This is uncropped, cropping it made it blurry...you can see that I used the bottom of my camera case as a background, placed on the hood of my Jeep <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://images50.fotki.com/v406/photos/3/348354/6136805/100_5630-vi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Thanks for looking![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
