Coin Show

[scottishmoney]

I'm saving up for our BIG show here in Michigan, on Thanksgiving weekend. 200+ dealer tables! 

I went to the last one right after Thanksgiving.  All I came home with was this:



Which I lamented that I didn't buy when it was auctioned by Heritage back in 2007, it is the nicest small sized note on this charter from this town.  It is from my grandfather's hometown, I have another large sized note on this town also.

Then there was this Parrott shell from a battle in 1863:



One of those things you don't set out to buy at a coin show, but this is totally kewl.  It weighs a bit over 20lbs.

So I set out to MSNS that fall with low expectations, but was very very pleasantly surprised especially with the National from MO.

Nighthawk,
The only Papua New Guinea pre-decimal coins I have are:

Halfpenny         
   1936   -   1
Shilling         
   1935   -   1
   1936   -   4
   1938   -   1
   1945   -   2

I will have a look through my coin archive to see where I have 'hidden' them.  All my coins are off-site and are generally stored haphazardly in a numbered box with on average 700 other coins. Depending on time, I'll have a look for one of my 1936 shillings, but I'll not guarantee anything soon.
