Because I spent it all at the coin show! OK, I have 75 cents left. I got a 1965 quarter, too bad it isn't 1964! I also got Virginia and Delaware state quarters which will go in my state quarter jar. I really didn't go with a high budget. Rooting through the pick bins I could hear people closing deals for over a thousand dollars. I'm a lot lower budget!
Pick of the day for me was a 1515 Salzberg pfennig. Nice condition with a clear date and only $18! I got a VF 1915 Cuba 5 centavos because it was interesting. I think I have a 10 centavos from the same era. I found a 10 centimes from Napoleon III and a fairly nice 1923-S Buffalo nickle. I think I have this one, but not in as good of condition.
The rest of what I bought are cents & pennies! I got a couple of 1797 British coins, one is marked a 1/2 Penny, one a Penny on the flip, but I think they are both pennies. I also got a British 1/2 penny from 1799.
I added a couple of US large cents a decade apart (1826 & 1836) the earlier one has a pair of initials, looks like a sweetheart token. I also got a couple of nice indian head cents and some Canadian coins - 3 Nova Scotia cents, 1 Newfoundland, and a couple of early Canadian bank tokens. I had to buy a reference to Canadian coins as well since my collection there is growing.
All in all not a bad day.
