Baltimore Show Report & Newps   
July 7, 2014
 

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!
