    That's nice!

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    I'm curious ... if you wear the pin and a dealer spots it does (s)he ...

    A.) Know you have a registry set and try to jack the price realizing you might pay top dollar for a coin you need?

    B.) Know that you know your coins and can't be fooled on grade or price?

    Just curious for Baltimore purposes ... nice pin, by the way, homerun, bj, carol, charlie, etc. .... Thanks

    C) They know you are a forum member and have likely trashed their unethical business practices and they will now try to hurt you by throwing Ike dollars at your head.

    They are for all forum members. In fact, I'm sure anyone could go get one.
  • are they free, or what's the price? can some one send them to us? if we send an SASE?

    Nice design. Who actually wore their pins at LB, and did anyone take notice? What were their reactions?
  • BearBear Posts: 18,953 ✭✭✭
    The pin was designed by Carol, I wore my pin as soon as I received it.

    The pin measures one inch in diameter and is made of metal with a pinch clip in the back.

    The pin has been darkened in areas to bring out the design. I think its a nice design and

    a lovely gesture of recognition for the Forum and or Registry members.

    I find this hard to believe. If Carol had something to do with it, I'm sure the pin would have mentioned the Open Forum. That's what PCGS is most proud of. image

    << <i>Who actually wore their pins at LB >>


    I did.image


    << <i>and did anyone take notice? >>


    Nope.image

    It wasn't a bad day though - had a lot of interesting conversation with dealers, sold an error coin for 600 times what I had in it, and bought a bunch of low-mid grade early Japanese coins with all but $1.50 of the loot!imageimage

    Once the pins finally arrived at Long Beach via a side-trip to China, I put mine on immediately. Nobody noticed. I told Shiro that if they had been chopmarked while in China then maybe he should pick up a few extras. When I told Laura Sperber that the pins were in and that she should go pick up one, she politely told me that (expletives deleted) that she wasn't going anywhere near the PCGS table... that she was probably persona non grata there!

    Mark,
    Get there early, I didn't get to Long Beach until about 3:30 Saturday, BJ and the pins were long gone!image

    P.S. Along with about 25% of the dealers, but that has been discussed at length.
