"you
looked at thousands of Morgans" eh?
The show was great. Friday and Saturday were non-stop busy. If it wasn't for the kindness of good people to bring me food and drink, I'd have died behind my table.

There were some great coins on the floor and I was able to buy quite a few excellent high grade rare date Morgans. And when offered an unexpected rarity, I had to bite.

Friday was the only day that was open to the public while silver was trading live. Dealers were always updating spot quotes. I was fortunate to be able to buy some scrap and bullion for various customers. The night before, silver was at $33ish and the mood was stubbornness by dealers to sell silver at the spot price. I thought that bullion would be slower than what it turned out to be.
Saturday's stable price made it easier to buy and sell, because everyone knew that spot couldn't drop $5 in 20 minutes. So it was more competitive on price. Overall the activity was brisk. Many dealers did not bring their gold or silver for sale. Or, like me, refused to sell at the current COMEX price. I had silver in the case and when asked about price, I was selling rounds and bars for $46.50 each. And believe it or not, there were still buyers at that price because I was selling better than bullion stuff in the first place and also there was less bullion on the floor, so the supply/demand formula was at work for pricing.
Sunday, Mother's Day, was pretty much dead. Very little activity, but I still sold a few items to make it worth my time.
It was great to see the folks that I did. Thanks for stopping by.

Brick and mortar shop: buy, sell, and trade anything precious- coins, bullion, scrap, jewelry, gems, etc.
