I have not found an 1878-S V18 yet and I always look at 78-S for the long nocks first then the V18 found a few long nocks but never V18. You are the master of the VAM pickings!

I have a solution for the next show though. I've printed up a sign to hang on his cases when he's not there....

It is not all my fault. I have a bunch of folks pulling me every way around the Sun. You know...things like "Hey I think I found a "Blank" can you look at it for me!  And of course if it was what they think you just have to look. Kind of like if someone said WOW!! "that's the ugliest car I have ever seen" You know you have to look! On the good side in just an hour and 1/2 I sold a coin, bought a coin, sold a coin, bought a coin, then sold a coin again. Every time with money changing hands. The problem is it was the same coin, to the same guy! I then bought it back an hour after that when I was looking at coins at a dealers table. This guy received well over 6 hours of my time and most of it was when I had people at my table other then him and he spent 240.00 after 7 returns.
