Thundercoin: Bring a lighted magnifier if you go, however - it's a bit of a problem. The rec center building is basically a gym without the bright overhead lights. Some dealers brought enough lighting, some didn't.
One gentleman (I suspect he's a retired L-M machinist) was selling forged Aluminum c-clamps to clamp the lights to the tables. It was a sweet piece of design, including strain relief / installation cuts at the corners. A couple of the tables had them - works better than trying to catch a hot light as it falls...
I think you'll have a really good time.

A while back, a CCF member was selling a 1905-O dime.
It was a "micro o" and not a "normal size O."
I know dimes so I bought it. For the asking price.
As a normal O. ...and you didn't tell him ?  Oregon coin geek.....*** GO BEAVS ! ! ! ***

PCGS occasionally makes clerical errors in inputting data which is shown on the insert in the PCGS holder; consequently the PCGS Guarantee does not cover obvious clerical errors, Which has absolutely nothing to do with having it relabed. Thats only for buy backs of coins that develop problems or were overgraded. They wont pay you for say an arrows or no arrows version when you can clearly see if it has it or not. They almost always still pay for what it is just not the inflated price price the mislabeled variety would have made it |

52Raymo,
Why should I have told the seller?
Not my fault he didn't do his homework.

#1: Roosevelt 10c 1999S - PCGS PR70DCAM, paid $18.30, price guide $100.00

Some dealers brought enough lighting, some didn't. Got to agree with you on this point, I've never been to a coin show where the lighting was so bad before. I ended up buying a lighted magnifying lens from the supplies dealer there! "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

Other than having a lousy website name (Stamps4u.net), they are nice people to deal with.

Raymo, is was only a good-4. Varieties that I am collecting are low grade.
Just for educational purposes.

Wow a mislabled slab! But was that the typist for the label or the grader who wrote it down wrong? So happy it is not a holy PCGS slab. So many promoters would be absolutely devasted and their too loyal opinions shattered to bits

All of the major grading services have exceptions in their guarantees for "mechanical" errors. For example, PCGS: http://www.pcgs.com/submissionform/usaform2014.pdfQuote:
5. Customer must inspect all coins immediately upon receipt and PCGS disclaims any liability for
damage or discrepancies or errors, including but not limited to errors in the description of the coin,
unless reported to PCGS within five (5) days of Customer's receipt of the coin(s). Customer agrees to
return any incorrectly described coin to PCGS upon request for correction and hold PCGS harmless from any and all losses and/or claims caused by the circulation or sale of any
incorrectly described coin. And http://www.pcgs.com/guarantee.html: Quote:
Clerical or "mechanical" errors. PCGS occasionally makes clerical errors in inputting data which is shown on the insert in the PCGS holder; consequently the PCGS Guarantee does not cover obvious clerical errors, what we call "mechanical errors." The key concept is how obvious the error is to the naked eye. If you can easily tell just by looking at the coin that the description on the holder is wrong, then the coin/holder combination is not covered by the PCGS Guarantee.
