Nice coins. Which coin show you are talking about?

[kansal888]

nice coins joseph..

[Abhay]

I believe that all these coins have been broken from the Proof sets of the respective years, as they were not issued otherwise.

Am I right??

[@josephjk]

You're right Abhay, most probably they are from FAO proof sets. Dealers sold the silver coins for value and these were leftover...

[Mackie]

Nice coins you bought, Joseph. Tell us more about the coin show.

Mayank most coins shows here are very similar to pics I've seen of the ones in Mumbai and Europe. In Texas the average show has about 50 dealers (45 of them sell only American) most of them are there to trade silver and gold. There are a couple of shows almost every month. A lot of them will have grading services as one of their attractions. The attached pic is one from the web, looks like the Houston money show which has over 200 dealers. There is an ANA show coming up in Dallas during October 2012 which will be about that size - anyone interested?
