Message:: [QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 168314, member: 4552"]Around here we have coin shows all the time. The one today is one that is at the same place every third Sunday of every Month. What suprized me was how crowded it was. I got there when it was supposed to start at 9AM and the place was packed with people already. Prices were outlandishly high for just about eveything. What really surprized me was how many dealers also were selling Jewelry. One dealer had an entire table full of watches. This show always  is stated as a  coin and card show. Only one dealer had some cards and he was one that had jewelry and also a few stuffed animals. Maybe I was at the wrong  place. Anyway I manage to spend almost $1,000 and that was about ten times what I wanted to spend. I really went there with the intent  to find a 1942D/41 Mercury Dime. Only saw one and it would have taken a 50,000 power electron microscope to detect any 41 and the price was well into the 500 dollar area. Only a 10 mile drive so still got home in plenty of time for the Bears Game.[/QUOTE]
