Popular Post Coinbuf Posted March 4, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2023 Arrived at the conference center around 10:30 am today, knew I wouldn't need to spend as much time today as I spent so much time yesterday scouring the bourse. My first task was to see some of the exhibits that I skipped over yesterday. In the very back of the bourse the ANA had a display called the museum showcase. In this display are some famous coins like one of the McDermott/Bebee 1913 V Nickel, the Idler/Bebee 1804 dollar, a display of three first year dimes, one 1943 copper cent, a 1933 $10 gold Indian coin, and a cool display of Zimbabwe inflation notes that might be of interest to @Revenant With that checked off I was off to see about selling a few more duplicates to fund today's purchase, more on that later. I was able to sell three coins yesterday and had another three with me today and one that I would sell if I got the right offer. Sold the first two right away, but the inexpensive common date coin was not getting much interest. I guess my expectations were a bit high for that one, my could sell coin got lots of interest but no offers that interested me so those two coins returned home. Went back to the two tables and verified that my target coins were still available, both were. Now the choice, which coin did I want more and also which one might be harder to locate again. Choice made I committed myself and bought this saint in a NGC 2.1 holder with CAC. This is a holder that I have been wanting for quite awhile and decided that this was the time to scratch that itch. This coin should get the pulse up for @GoldFinger1969. With my big ticket item secured I sat down to enjoy the sack lunch I brought with. While there I had the privilege of meeting up with a PCGS forum member along with his wife and nephew. I very much enjoyed chatting with them and we had a little show and tell of both our purchases today. Between yesterday and today I had a very successful and productive show. I hope that all the dealers did as well. Sorry for the long read. Timely, JT2, Lem E and 7 others 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenntucky Mike Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Awesome SGDE! I'm not a fan of these in general but this one is an exception. Liberty 's face looks amazing, overall it is a very aesthetically pleasing coin. Seriously, this is the best I've seen. If I'd known that these could look this good I would have paid more attention to them. GoldFinger1969 and Coinbuf 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, thanks zadok, I guess if I had a $400 steak meal that would qualify as photo worthy, but I'm not so sure that my PBJ is really worthy of any sort of highlight. rrantique, Rod D. and JT2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
