but I did get some coin stuff in this weekend!!

My shoulder was hurting too bad to drive an hour and a half each way to get to this show, which I do usually enjoy. So, my wife and I decided to do a little pickin' at local antique stores.

I specifically chose a small town about 30 minutes away to check out, because I knew that had some coins in several of these shops. Perused many over priced coins (seller's must be in love with their coins as many were 20-30% over Red Book value - geez...)and thought the day was going to be a lost cause. Looked at what appeared to be a 1797 large cent that was heavily corroded, at $15 it was a steal, but the date was just too obliterated... Then I found a seller with lots of mint sets, however they were mostly $4-8 more than I can buy them every day off Ebay, but... In the mix was a 1982 aftermarket mint set for $15 - didn't even think, just bought. Thought about cutting this one up for the nickels, as I think both are MS 66, but I think I'll just flip it on the Bay for cash...

The last stop of the day was a brand new, opened this week, used book store. Usually, these are a waste of time for numimatists, but this one had a few older books, but alas nothing that really spoke to me. I will be heading back there as their inventory grows though!!

Great weekend for me and my hobby!
