Back from the FUN show in Orlando and another great time. I went on Saturday with some friends, fun but sometimes they slow things down.
Place was busy early with over 90% of the dealers still in attendence.
I'm thinking Saturday isn't the best day to go to this show. By large most coins in dealers cases were not choice, and incredibly I was hard pressed to find additions to my type set.
As ususal Morgans were everywhere and I've I tired of seeing them everywhere. Although I did see a few decent ones, notably a F-12 1893-S and some nice Carson City examples.
The had the Brasher doubloons on display with a guard 3 feet away. Drop dead beauties, and I apologize because I'm an idiot and didn't take pics of them even tho I had my camera with me. forgot I had it
They had the world/foriegn dealers in one certain area which was nice and made it easy to look for coins for my Portuguese type set, which I found many.
At 11:00 am they called those who were invited to the NGC lucheon upstairs, but I was reluctant to go because I wanted coins. Finally after the 3rd and last call at 11:30 I showed up at the luncheon and was I glad I did.
First off the women in charge, Deena, greeted me like I was the President. Very pleasant and semi formal, then she handed me 2 gifts for just showing up!
One was a book Complete Guide to Mercury dimes, next was a five piece 2005 statehood quarter set in a special NGC holder, PICS will follow later I promise.
Once inside some big dude in a suit walked over , introduced himself and handed me 2 samples of graded currency that NGC is now doing, very nice and completely unexpected as I was just expecting lunch, which also was excellect!
They had a question /discussion after lunch about the goings on at NGC which was nice.
Back to the show, found a slew of Portuguese coins, way to many to mention, but I did manage some pics which are coming later.
Also managed to grab the Krause guide to Spanish & Portuguese coins brand new for $30, other book sellers there were selling it for retail $49.99.
I only bought 3 coins for my US type set. 1863 copper nickel cent for $20, a 1917 type 1 SLQ in XF for $60 and a 1843-O Seated half in XF for $70. Many of the coins I looked at, trade dollars and seated dollars were either too high grade ie: expensive, or had serious problems, mostly cleaning.
It was very difficult to find coins with just the right look, which I am attributing to being there on Sat, with the good stuff already gone.
Overall a good show, I didn't see anybody I knew, was looking for the dutchman but couldn't remeber his table.
Pics will follow of purchases, I've maxed out my galley space and have to clean it out.
, when you have the time show us some pics of the PT coins you've found at the show.
