Apologies if I have already posted this…

Sorry I missed everyone yesterday. I was up early and over at HA for the last of my lot viewing and a little walk around before four of us Nuts met back at the Hotel and caught an Uber to the Airport. We also had lunch and a beer there and enjoyed some conversation before we headed our separate ways.

And WOW! Great coins yesterday too!! I miss one Saturday morning and you guys all break out the big guns!!!

I started to write a show report on my flight home, and may finish it up and post it later in a show thread, but the overall take home from the show is all in the image below. It was a great time seeing and hanging out with friends. Wonderful seeing you @EastonCollection Next time I'll need to make sure we are anticipating so many people and get one of the banquet rooms so we can have a more free flowing dinner conversation.

Thanks to David Kahn (and Melissa, Josh and Dick Graham), Phil Hinkleman at Eye Appealing Coins, Steve Herrman, and especially our own Alan B. @Desert Moon (more on that coin later) for the coins, and also a new acquaintance (and very sharp young man) for the paper - A.J. at Dempsey & Baxter.

Congratulations guys

I just can't pull the trigger yet on a second one.

The best way I know to sell these things is ebay. At my level I only get eighty percent of the final price. So unless they really appreciate , there would be no point in having more than one as I do want to keep one.

It IS a lot of money to tie up, and "really" appreciate is relative. Among other things, you also have risk tied to buying gold at all time highs.

That said, if you are a gold bug, and lots of things going on in the world and with the economy support being one, this has all the earmarks of a winner. Basically, the track record of the last two releases, plus the near certainty that the mintage on this one is going to come in around 7500-8000, as compared to 12K on the last two.

Yes, it's a risk. But a calculated one. If you are uncomfortable tying up $4300 on speculation, that is entirely reasonable as well.

The higher-end coins are definately commanding strong premiums.

I went to Northland Z in Flemington, NJ , also to see the train layout, unbelievable.

I went to Northland Z in Flemington, NJ wanted to ride the train, but it wasn't running.

You need to take a couple of new, in focus, pictures of your coin to be able to at least make a reasonable determination if it came from the Mint or counterfeiters. Here is another ‘real’ coin for

I don't think we need any better pictures to know it's a copy.

Finally pulled the trigger on the “right” no motto seated dollar for my type set.
