Westford show report

FIRST POSTED HERE!!!

 

Another great show by Ernie. I arrived on time 9AM after a nice breakfast and I was gone before noon (run out of the money ). I had just one coin for sale 1882-CC morgan in NGC MS65 I traded it for $400 worth of coins (actually $360 worth of coin and $40 back - it was a weak 65 and I was happy to traded it since I paid 64 money for it)

The show was not busy, or at least it did not seemed to be busy. the weather was horrible in the morning and I was expecting a bigger turnout. I still managed to buy a ton of coins and chat with Darin a little bit. There wasn't much new invenoty to look at I've seen many of these coins before, same old, same old overpriced and overgraded, and so many of them cleaned .

 

It was another paradise for the vam hunters like yours truly - here are the purchases:

1854-O half

This coin was part of the trade for the CC Morgan, I know it's not problem free but there are some die characteristics that I liked - porosity over UNITED, halo effect on the obverse, porosity around lady liberty and over the date

1881-O Morgan another coin from the trade, simply amazing toning and under $50 too!!!!!

1921 Morgan VAM it's amazing I can find one at every show VAM 3A spiked tail feathers

1921 Morgan VAM Another part of the CC Morgan trade VAM5 double date - paid $12

1921-D Morgan VAM () Very interesting lots of die cracks there is a nice die break from rim to the second T is STATES, and a nice chip between E and R in AMERICA, help please!!!!

1921-D Morgan VAM () Another part of the CC Morgan trade possible vam there is a small die gauge between ribbon and wreatch (right side) help please!!!! I thought it was worth the risk for less than $20

1924 peace dollar Another part of the CC Morgan trade PQ coin and only $15

1923 peace VAM The best part of the CC Morgan trade paid $12 for this VAM2 dollar doubled tiara (rays) huge double die!!!! Peace TOP 50

is a VAM-8B . More details at: http://www.rjrc.com/vams/1921d_vam8b.htm

 

Both great finds. The 8B is a tougher coin to locate. Nice grab.

Thanks for the update. I love to do trades on coins, and get money back. Makes me feel I've make money as well as purchased a better coin.
