Sounds like you all had a good time. Family commitments kept me away. :-(

Someone should pour a beer into a Starbucks cup and bring it to SPP next time.

It was wonderful to spend so much time with SPP, TY, BiB and Zonad. I was able to spend a little time with John 100 and dialogue as well (I hope you enjoy the error....they are hard to find with both like that.)! I was disappointed not to meet jg86 and others. I fumbled (embarrassingly) with the operating system of the lap top provided at the seminar. One hour did not even allow me to scratch the surface of the fakes. Talks are already underway for the next one which I hope is much more detailed. I made a new contact with the Metro Police. All in all a very successful weekend.
My heart felt thanks to both Toronto Coin Expo and CAFNE for allowing me to present what I did. See y'all in the spring. MM

nickelsguy - I was really looking forward to your presentation, and was hoping to get a moment to talk to you. I came to Toronto with my wife and kids (3 and 5) and left them at the Eaton Centre around 11:00 - 11:30 to head to the show. I walked around looking at every display two or three times, before discussing possible deals with three dealers. However, it wasn't even 1:00 by the time I was done. I'm not very comfortable in Toronto, and the idea of killing another hour with nothing to do was just too much! Especially with the amount of cash I had in my pocket.

Next time I'll plan my timing better and hopefully we can meet!

Hi jg86...reading through the posts here again I just realized that I am the dealer you almost made a deal with for the 1921 quarter. Sorry we couldn't pull something together. But now that I'm not wearing my "dealer hat" maybe we can work something out. If not the '21, maybe something else. PM or email me if you wish. It was nice to meet you. Its always great to put a face to name here on the forum.

Yes. Thanks again! I was just staring at it through a loupe. Amazing.

I was looking forward to dig into the municipal token bag of SPP and get some friendly advise from TY on some toonies but last minute issues hampered being there. Hopefully looking forward to meeting the great collectors at another forum.
