<p>[QUOTE="sonlarson, post: 2759215, member: 15488"]My wife and I went to the TNA Show in Arlington, TX. this morning. Not as big a crowd as I expected with 200 tables advertised. I paid for membership in the TNA for $20 and was given free admission and a free copy of the 2018 Red Book. I came out ahead on that deal. I made contact with a dealer from Albuquerque, NM who specialized in coins from Mexico. He had one of the nicest selections I have seen at any show. We exchanged phone numbers and email address so I could send him a list of what I wanted to buy and what I had to sell. Best collection I ran across was a completed set of 1894 German New Guinea coins, including Gold. This is the one with the Bird of Paradise. He had put the set together himself and was only asking $7,000. I was tempting to offer him my pink slip but didn't want to walk home in the rain. Anyway I saw a lot of coins I wished I could have but not many that I "wanted" to have. A fun 2 hours walking and looking but my back gave out before I could see everything. I ender up buying a few Sacs to update my series and only found one Silver bullion coin that I wanted. Oh yeah, one of the dealers had a complete set of the 2014 Silver proof Britannias in PR69 for only $1000. Best deal I saw, but I couldn't convince him to sell me the 1 ounce and break up the set. I offered him $300 for it, but I think he thought I was just kidding. I wasn't.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bullion coin with usual milk spots. I looked at 5 or 6 and this was the best of the lot.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cook Island 2017 Dollar</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]633765[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
