Public Service Announcement re: lower grade Dahlonega coins available at FUN

From time to time, several board members have mentioned publicly and privately that they would like to acquire a Dahlonega coin for their collections. Mid-grade coins are expensive and high grade coins are very expensive, and as a result, there are probably a number of collectors who want one but never get to own one.
I have been in touch with the Gold Rush Gallery, my source for mid-grade Dahlonega coins, and they have recently acquired a sizable collection of lower grade pieces (VG-VF), some in PCGS "Rattler" holders, some raw. I have requested a couple of dates that I need for my set, but there are at least a dozen or more remaining, and these will be available at the Gold Rush Gallery table at FUN. If you are interested in acquiring a single Dahlonega piece for your collection, I think this would be an excellent opportunity.
I have no economic interest in these coins (except that I will likely buy more of these coins if they do not sell!), so I thought it would be appropriate to post this here. If a consensus of board members find this thread to be inappropriate, I will delete it.

for others.
Any way that we can know what dates are available in case we cannot make it to FUN? PS. I think the post is appropriate since you don't have any financial interest in the coins offered.

You could call the Gold Rush Gallery or have a friend or associate check them out at the show.
Kranky, if you are reading this thread, I just found my Terrible Towel!
Hey, I have hijacked my own thread!
Forum members, please do not take ALL the well-circulated Dahlonega coins so that I can buy more.

I remember the '71 Series and went to Playoff and Series games in '79. Growing up in Pittsburgh in the 70's was a sports fan's dream.
<< <i>FatMan, was your new Dahlonega dollar from this grouping? >>
No I do not believe so. It was my understanding that they had just aquired the lot the day before I met with them. They were still making their assessment of each coin and the set appeared intact.
