The show I went to today was surprisingly well attended. Lots of dealers from a four state radius from what I was able to see. Lots of dealers and lots of attendees…. Now usually I go on a buying spree at these things but I was more in selling mode today. I did buy one….. Well, really two coins but the second coin I had already bought. My buddy just brought it to the show for me to pick up. Now I like the walker series but like Morgans, I am kind of over them. But it was a walker that caught my eye today. I don’t know why but the first two years where the mintmark was on the obverse intrigue me. So this was my splurge buy today. This is the coin that I had previously ordered. No morbid curiosity or anything. I just appreciate coins with a story and I am sure that this story is as fresh in everybody’s minds as it was 24 years ago.
I did seed the boy with some spending cash. We did our first quick run around the bourse which is my usual method before I dial into a few dealers.. After we went around the floor he asked me to go look at a table so we went. There was a football card graded in the man’s case. The boy is big time into football cards. We gave forty dollars for this graded card that I know nothing about and he showed me on his little football card Ap where that particular card was a $500.00 card. Now, I know nothing about these things and have no clue if his sources are valid or not. But he was tickled to death with his purchase…. Wife has to drive out of town tomorrow for work so it was a one day deal for us.
That Walker is a beautiful coin Randy! It must have cost a small fortune. You know that should be in my collection. Lol
