Thinking about offering a small, very informal grading assistance and coin chit-chat get together at

I've given this idea a bit of thought from time to time and if I do it, will probably end up going insane
, but...
I've been thinking about trying to arrange a little, informal get together at a future coin show (or two, if it's not a disaster
), whereby a small number of us would participate in a mini-coin-grading and discussion event.
If this is to take place, it will need to be either before or after the show one day, the number of participants can't be too large, we would need a place to meet and people would need to bring their own light sources and their own coins.
Anyone who might be interested in participating is asked to comment and/or PM me. Suggestions are certainly welcomed, as long as you understand that this might be a nightmare, both logistically and practically.
This might or might not end up coming together (please don't hang me if it doesn't) but I thought I would/should at least mention the possibility.
Please note, there will be no Pinnacle coins offered for sale at this potential event.

That sounds like an excellent plan.Please invite David Hall so he can learn as well.

If I was at the show, I would certainly enjoy participating.

I know of one board member who attended, and commented that it was very informative. I sent off an early piece of copper (vg/fine large cent) for discussion purposes, and the coin ended up getting a WIDE range of opinions.
Situations like this can be amazingly helpful in picking up little grading tidbits on many different series, and a boatload of fun in the process.
Make arrangements to come to N.H. this fall, and we'll give you permission to give a grading "chit-chat".

My posts viewed

everyone bring one coin each
everyone takes a looksee for the first 25 minutes or so
mark feld takes one two three of the coins maybe more?? at his choosing??
mark feld can be the group leader with the coins in his hand and have an informal discussion on the coin
and discuss it 5 to 10? minutes per coin

I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
If you decide to do it at the Silver Dollar Show (St. Louis), I could arrange the venue.

We'll use our hands and hearts and if we must we'll use our heads.
you make the rules...... but just make sure you do it at the ANA in philly or at least at a couple of shows
LOL
if robert ryk can take care of the venue then all the better and might be st louis will be the first informal grading "class"
