Baltimore Show Report & Newps

The Summer Baltimore show is customarily the slowest of the three annual Baltimore shows. However, we were always busy at our table, and we bought and sold a lot of coins! We acquired an outstanding 1886 Liberty nickel in NGC Proof-67+ star CAC with gorgeous toning (pic has some glare from the lighting, and the coin is much nicer in hand:
We also acquired nice PCGS VG-8 examples of two rare dimes - - 1798/7 with 13 star reverse (R6), 1820 JR-12 (R6), and also a PCGS VG-8 1809. We obtained a small group of Seated dimes incl. an 1843-O and several Civil War S-mint dimes. Bust quarter acquisitions include one with a unique die state, a rare 1825 B-2 with reverse cud, and two wonderfully toned 1831's. Bust halves include two 1814 O-107'b', and toned examples of 1834 and 1835. Seated halves include an 1863-S in PCGS AU-55 and a nicely toned 1870 pedigreed to the Benson Collection. We also found an amazingly attractively reverse toned 1883-O Morgan dollar.
Our goal is to reduce our inventory before the ANA show, so we will be offering great deals, just call or email us!

I just don't understand this and probably never will. |
When I was a collector, many times I got to a coin just a moment too late, and I discovered that someone else had already put the coin on hold. If I was interested in buying the coin, I would say, if the sale doesn't go through, I would like to buy that coin. Sometimes I was notified that the sale didn't go through and the coin was now available. Well, the coin didn't change since I examined it in hand, so I almost always bought the coin. (In fact, that is how we purchased our current house!)
But now, as a dealer when I notify a collector that a coin that had been on hold is now available, the collector almost never buys the coin. The most recent occurrence involved a coin with fewer than ten known, so it isn't likely that the collector bought another one in the interim. Hence my headline, I just don't understand this and probably never will. The lesson I learned from this is that I decided that I will hold rare coins at a show for an hour. If that person doesn't want the coin, and a second person wants the coin, I won't lose a sale twice!

Looking Toward The Future
|
My next show is ANA in Chicago (Rosemont) at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center (Table #723) Tuesday, August 5 thru Saturday, August 9. This is likely to be the biggest show of the year! If you go to the show, please stop by and say hello!
