Cool ds, am glad you had fun. I bet it was something to see those 10 1933's though. That had to be awesome. Wish I could have gone. Sounds like it was a numisblast.  Also nice that you got to meet someone from the forum. That would have definitely been neat. Let us see your wolf coin when you get back to your home base. Cheers! |

Deb, I don't think I'd be able to stand it. I'd keel over in frustration trying to compare my paltry Morgan collection with the best in the world and knowing that somehow somewhere I went wrong.  We'll keep the lights on in the desert for you! Fred |

Yep. Bryan1315 has pictures of them in his album in the gallery. Not closeups mind you but it does show all 10 of them at once. Very nice.  http://www.coincommunity.org/galler...um=242&pos=8 |

Yes Irishraider but I thought the govt.was holding them,at least until the courts decided if they could go back to the owners.I figured the convention is a private area and the coins would not be found there |

The mint actually made quite a big deal over having the coins at the convention, it was on the front page of their website and everything. Does anybody know if they will ever be on display again? I'd like to know how much security they used to get the coins to the show!

Sounds great ds. Did you get to any of the seminars? Sometimes groups like the U.S Commem Society and the EAC club holds meetings at those kinds of conventions. I used to attend some for the fun of it, trying to appear small and inconspicuous among the erudite scholars, hoping no one would ask me anything!
I would like some scans of Morgan dealers' business cards as I still need a couple of PCGS 65's; can't find anything around here.
When you purchased the Cherrypicker's Guide, did you get the newest edition with both volumes?

It wouldn't surprise me they activated several battalions of the 42nd Infantry Division for security. Ten little pieces of metal worth several millions of dollars each is a tempting target. Would also make a great scenario for a best-selling book and movie.  |

Hi! You all have so many questions that I don't know where to begin. Suffice to say that there were coins and coins and coins and currency and currency and more coins - well you've got the picture. There was definitely security around the 33's but, not as many Obvious ones and you would think - it was the plain clothes that were hanging around that weren't as obvious. I don't know where the 33's are going from here and no the litigation isn't over.
I took a pic of one fella with stacks of Morgans in front of him that I'll share with you!!
My husband took a great picture of myself and Gary Burke that I'll also share. We had our noses into a coin!
I'm off for now...tomorrow is travel day back to AZ. It's nice to know that I was missed Fred!
Talk with you all...maybe tomorrow night!
