Had a good time at Central States this year - seems to be a well run show.
Catching up with friends is always a highlight, this time no exception. Nice chats with Boiler78, NJCoinCrank, TomB, Numismatist, EERC, Ed62, CRO (John), HLRC (Dave), TomK, FooDoo, MrEureka, many of the folks at HA, Regulated, Pistareen, JD and others.
Bought a few HTF "Collectible" holders, nabbed a free sample from PCGS, put the Garrett provenance back on a territorial (reholder) and bought a ICG Intercept shield box with slots containing 20 of the ICG/Intercept samples.
From Kagins, a nice upgrade to my Bechtler $5, NGC MS62, proof like with nice colors on one side - pictures when I get around to it.
From Numismatic Americana, a very cool medal - closeup of the coins on the reverse included.
From TomB, one of the recently released Canadian $10's.
From HA, a beautiful dime - pictures don't do this coin justice. I'm told by a 3rd party that this might be the Granddaddy of all NGC Gen. 1.0 holders.
Edits added as I remember who I visited with.....

Thanks! i hit post and that one slip
MS66 all the way....if not better!!!!
Congrats....great pickup.
BTW there is an 1884 Proof Quarter on Ebay in one of those funky older PCGS holders....Doiley? Let me know what you think.
In all seriousness, the dime IS gorgeous, and I can tell the pics don't do it too much justice. It'd look amazing no matter what holder you have it in.

Many members on this forum that now it cannot fit in my signature. Please ask for entire list.
Tough type coin in a Doily - if you collect plastic, the missing outer ring is a negative.

I'm a medal guy but it would be tough to pick a favorite from that group.
Love that medal!!!
Nice dime, plastic and sticker...the hat trick. Do you still have any money left?
The HA cartoon blow-ups do nothing for the Dime... However zooming in on the holder shots it looks like a dynamite example
You are very lucky I am taking a breather!!
