    For all of the good things that happened to CRO over the course of 2013--I'm glad the elevator event had a happy ending for all concerned. image

    Really enjoyed the read.

    I've never bought a single coin from them but visit their site religiously.
    Wonderful coins/images and coin descriptions. And the most interesting commentary articles
    that combine great insight with a very good sense of humor and a touch of humility.

    I always enjoy CRO (John Agre's) write-ups about observations relating to the business end of the hobby. CRO is an excellent firm to do business with too.

    Nice report. Best of all, I am now finally able to get over not being invited to join John for dinner at the Oceana Grill.

    Andy,

    Saw your post re getting over NOT being invited to dinner--I am going and you can come as my guest.

    If you cannot make it Tuesday night at FUN, you will be on the list for next year. It is a good group.

    Dale - I can't make it, but thanks! Now, you can tell me the truth. Did you only invite me to make BidAsk jealous? image

    This guy seems to be the James Brown of the coin business. And seems like he's having the most fun too!

    Even took the time to answer a colonial question email or two at the peak of the last Baltimore show. Thanks Man!
