My eyes were like saucers when I saw all the vendors tables. And I almost didn't find anything to buy!!!

Well, coin shows sure have changed since 1965. Friday, I attended the ANA World's Fair of Money and let me tell you there were more coins in one place than I have ever seen (excluding US Mint tours)!

Recently, I decided to work on a 1899 Mint set. This Mint set is going to be harder than I expected to complete. I came to that realiziation when after going to most of the tables, I saw less than 10 MS 1899's of any denomination (of course the ones I did see, I already have).

I had decided to look for a single coin, 1899 Indian Head 1c, graded by PCGS. I was looking for MS65RB and I did find a single example. Which I bought.

It was neat to see all the coin and paper money displays but just seeing all these rare issues in one place was very cool.

This is my acquisition from the show.
