Message:: [QUOTE="cdcda, post: 11418, member: 941"]This Sunday, as usual, I spent a great deal of time both before and during our monthly coin show, browsing the tables of other dealers. It so happened that this month I was not looking for anything in particular, as I usually am, but rather was just on the prowl for a few great deals from fellow dealers. As I expected, I picked up a couple of very nice raw MS64 Morgans at great prices, a few slabbed common date MS64 Morgans for fair prices, and some misc. other items. Action at my table was also brisk, where I acquired a variety of walk in common and key date material from collectors. What is funny though, is the purchase that really made my day. Of all the coins I picked up the one I enjoyed buying the most was a PQ 1945 Washington Quarter that I purchased for $4. Although the coin had a somewhat weak strike, the color was SUPERB and the coin was nearly flawless - a definite MS65 and possibly higher were it not for the strike. I point this out as a reminder to enjoy the experience of a coin show. Stop at all the tables. Look at all the books, check out all the cases, and be on the lookout for that one coin that just speaks to you. You would be amazed at what you can find when you're paying attention![/QUOTE]
