Several coins will be home for awhile.

 

I expect Friday to be a big coin day for me, or is that a little coin day? The coins, of course, are among the smallest the US produced - my beloved half dimes.

 

I'll be skipping work once again to go to the Baltimore show. The day will start with the regular, and generally well attended, Liberty Seated Collectors Club meeting. After that, I'll be scouring the bourse. There is one coin I'm planning to buy from a dealer, unless it disappoints in hand. There are a couple others another dealer will have that are tempting me. And who knows what else I may find?! While I'm on that quest, I will be trying to sell a few of my duplicates. Why? Because I just broke the bank last week in part 4 of the Gardner collection sale. Those five coins will be delivered Friday...

 

There is also the matter of lot viewing for the Stack's Bowers auction session to be held that afternoon. Depending of course on the in-plastic interview, there is one I plan to get, and many to look at for educational purposes. One in particular, a PCGS/CAC MS67 1873 half dime, has been publicly available multiple times in recent years, and I have used it as inspiration for a work account password. I want to have it fresh in my mind for comparison when I get my NGC MS67 from the Gardner sale...

 

Have fun, everyone! Here's a photo of my new 1873, which, according to the lot description, Mr. Gardner favored over his 'front line' collection PCGS/CAC MS67 example that was sold last year.

Have a great time, Alan! I live in No. Va but can't get off work for the show and everyone knows it's a ghost town on Saturday. I had some luck in the World Auction that was held today (I got my bid in just before the online bidding closed) and I'll be showing off my new thaler when I get it in hand.
