Coin Show

I managed to get a break on Saturday, while my computer was running one of its restoration routines.
It tuns 2.5 hours and is in no waywhat would have yielded a working computer!
No, that would take another day of effort!
Darn Micro-Squish!
How I loath you ....

So, I started the second part of the restore and headed off to a coin show.
There  is usually one every three months here.
Since I collect Jefferson nickels, there is little chance of finding something I do not have.
Actually, no one much even has one in their stock.

I ran into one of my long term antique acquaintances.
Always a pleasure.
And they always have something eclectic.

I walked away with:
A 12th century fork - extremely rare!
A 15th century table knife , in excellent condition.
An 18th century Russian 5 Kopek for my niece.
And some supplies.

Then I rambled around spotting a 1990 without the designers initials.
Another dealer had several "mules.
In this case wrong reverses for thge year of nickel.
Yeah, not all reverses are the same!

1938, 1939 and 1940 all had differing reverses..
So, you could have a 1939 with a 1938 reverse or a 1940 reverse.

Or a 1940 with a 1938 reverse.
So many options!

But I am having fun ...
