Coin show plundering.

Hey steemers and dreamers.

Today was the local fall coin show. There was a good turn out, and a few new dealers that I haven't seen before. Likely from out of province. Maybe that means there is a little growing interest in precious metals and coin collecting.

I paid for a 2 day pass. It was $3.00 for 1 day, and $5.00 for the weekend. I may pick up a buddy of mine tomorrow afternoon and go back. I took $100.00 and spent $90.00 plus $5.00 for admission.

There was no real variety for bullion, but there was a few descent deals on junk silver.

So what did @fat-elvis manage to score you ask? Well silver of course... And GOLD!!!

Let's start out with the most interesting thing I saw in the whole show.

That's a sterling silver dish, with an 1878 Morgan dollar for the bottom.

Marked B&M Sterling 762. The 762 I have read is the stock number for a 3 3/4" dish with a Morgan base.

And the weight

Not bad for $65.00 CAD.

And while I may not have been born with a silver spoon, I can eat gummy candies from a silver bowl!

Now for some Canadian sterling silver "junk".

Note the Edward VII bust on the 1907.

I paid $2.50 each, which is a fair margin over melt value, but, I didn't have very many little 5c coins.

Now for some gold... Yup do the math, I spent $90 total. $65 for the dish and $10 for the 5c coins. So how much gold can a guy get for $15.00? Well, not very much!!!

What?!??! A 1933 $10 Indian Head eagle...

A tiny replica, but it is 14k. I don't know the weight, but it's not much. If anyone knows any specs on the little guy let me know.

So that's a successful trip to the coin show for me, and I may go tomorrow as well, even if just to hang out.
