Newps, Denver ANA Show Report, & 
4th Known 1842 Small Date Small
Letters Half Dollar Acquired
 

May 28, 2012

Greetings!

WOW!  We had a really great show at the ANA's National Money Show in Denver, CO.  Dealers' initial expectations were for a slow show, but our view was a bit more optimistic, because we believed that collectors would attend the show, since it was 6 years since a major show was held in Denver, and we also believed the lack of an auction would lead to more activity on the bourse floor, as collectors would not be viewing auction lots and holding onto their funds for possible auction purchases.  It turned out that we were correct, at least about our own business.  I know that many dealers are putting out negative reports about the show, but we were very busy at our table every day, and we sold as much on Thursday as we expected to sell for the entire show!  We had a large run of Seated dollars that took up an entire case, and those coins sold very well. Thank you to all of our customers and also those who sold coins to us. 

Numismatist, Author and Table Assistant Bill Bugert accompanied me to Denver, and I couldn't have done the show without him!  We were busy non-stop.  Also, Bill delivered a talk on Carson City Half Dollars that was very well received by an audience of 20!  

We have about 80 newps that are now listed and pictured.  The newps are highlighted by an 1829 Curl Base 2 dime in PCGS VG8:
 
We also acquired several Seated halves incl. an outstanding 1852-O in PCGS AU-55 with prooflike surfaces, a wonderful 1877 3c nickel in PCGS PR-65, and 40 Buffalo nickel varieties, mostly from a collection we acquired at ANA that we call the Colorado Collection.  Some of these varieties are quite rare, so if you collect these fascinating coins, act now!  To examine highlights of the rest of our inventory, please see our full-page ad in the May 14 issue of Coin World, page 57.  

We normally don't talk about a coin we have that's NOT for sale, but this coin is kind of special.  We just acquired the 4th known 1842 Small Date, Small Letters Seated Half!  It is graded PCGS Good-6, and is pictured below and on our website on the Seated Halves page, and you will see stories in both Coin World and Numismatic News about this coin.  But, alas, it is not for sale.
