<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 3101974, member: 27832&quot;]Spent a good four hours or so at the show today. Attendance was pretty sparse (it&#039;s a business day), which seemed to make the dealers want to talk. A LOT. (Where&#039;s that &quot;flat-ear&quot; emoji? That only happens with <i>phone</i> conversations, but should convey the idea...)</p><p><br /></p><p>Sold a good bit of junk/common stuff for prices that made me happy. Offering prices for 90% seemed low to me (best was 11.05x FV), but given that I saw at least one seller offering 90% <i>at</i> melt (0% premium), I guess the spread has shifted toward lower buy prices. I ended up keeping the rolled quarters and selling a bunch of Morgan and Peace dollars, and some gold.</p><p><br /></p><p>I saw a flyer for SEGS indicating that they&#039;re firing up an online certification checking facility. It turned out Larry Briggs was at the show, so I went and asked him if this meant they&#039;d join the other four &quot;permissible&quot; eBay TPGs. He said they were working in that direction, and went into a fairly extended rant about eBay, Heritage, and a customer who was bugging him this week. I think he was having a bad day pain-wise. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I may go back tomorrow; Roger Burdette is giving a talk about war and Peace Dollars, and I&#039;ve never heard him speak, so I might check it out.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was admiring an MS 1799 $10 in one display case. The dealer came over and asked if I saw anything I was interested in. I said &quot;yeah, but then I wouldn&#039;t have anything to drive home.&quot; He chuckled; he got my point, even though I think it&#039;d take at least <i>two</i> of my car to pay for that coin. Not in the cards.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
