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?
Rest in Peace

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!
