Manchester, NH Coin Show Trip!
A couple weeks ago I saw that a few long time acquaintances on Instagram were attending a coin show in driving distance of me. With work has been very busy for me lately. It was then I decided it was worth taking a trip to the show. Doing It the right way though! Head there for the first day! When there is still a small shot for the good stuff..
It was just under two hours for me to get there today. I actually enjoyed the ride to be honest. Always exciting stepping in the room for the first time. It was actually a pretty big show!
There Is a level of therapy that I truly enjoy. When you are just in your head. No outside worries, just focusing on finding some treasure. I didn't have a legendary day in finds today. However, I left satisfied. I'm going to do a couple follow up posts to this. Where I will highlight the items I purchased. .
This was one of the better items of the day. NOT the best though. This is a 10 Tael Vietnamese Lang Bar. You will notice the arch in middle of the bar. Almost like a boat where is bows out in the middle. Most of the Lang ingots test around .991 fine silver. Casted from Spanish American 8 Reales and Indian Rupees. They were produced in the early 1800s up until World War II. I have been looking for a nice example for about six months. I liked this one because of the oriental script down the middle. It also demonstrates nice patina. The eye appeal is there for me.
I look forward to sharing a couple more items. @silversaver888 I thought of you! I came across a 5 bar 3oz pressed WH Foster set. Which included the one you highlighted here recently. He was asking $100 for each bar. $500 for the set. For your records..👍

Appreciate your kind words brother
That is an amazing bar Dam....
Thanks man. Certainly a good conversation piece
Oh wow!!! 1800’s??? Goodness, it must cost an arm and a leg... and that is not the better of the two?? Goodness, how impressive!
Yeah, I saw two H&H bars catalogued, and I thought of you, @silveringots, and wondering if you owned it now, or has passed through your hands!
Great write up on that bar, and always a great show!

The 10 tael Lang ingot cost me $300. I have seen them sell in the 3-500 range. For your records. Considering their age I feel like they are somewhat undervalued. Compared to similar time period ingots. There are some that are more basic. Similar style shape but less stamps.
I have owned a H&H 10 but never the 5. If you keep a strong eye out you can find them at a good price on occasion. Ever have a burning desire to own one or both. I can set that up for you. Probably wouldn't be at a better price than finding one in the wild though. Cheers @silversaver888 ✌
