Soo I have been away from the forums for a bit. I plan to get back into the swing of things. I will be posting much more now. Anyhow...

 

I went to Colorado / New Mexico for 2 weeks. Great time! Anyhow lets talk some coins. While on a trip I always like to look at any and every coin shop I can. Never know what is in there. So first stop Durango, Co. Small shop. I look and see some cool stuff, but nothing that says Buy me 100% Then I ask if he has anything toned and out comes a full box of toners. Most were nothing to talk about, but a few nicer ones in there. Anyhow I bought one. Talk about cool factor! Anybody want to take a guess how this happened? I guess a sheet of paper was over part of it?

Next few shops were in Denver. I went to 3 of the major shops Walked away with a bust half there. I must say 1 downtown was a bit harsh to deal with. Security guard etc. Decided to hit a few pawn shops looking for guitars etc. Turns out good for a coin as well. I scored an AU 50ish original looking barber qtr. Sweet. and very cheap! Then stopped at the last shop as a ugh sorta fly in. Score 2 david hall certified coins cheap. missing the cert labels, but sealed still. Smoking toned lincolns. Then the score of the trip. A 1794 Cent. VF details. very minor problems considering its age. It will need some work. I will talk with james or mark later about it.

 

Great to be home and back on the forums!
