I saw an awesome slab at the BECC Show today

The BECC show today was nothing to write home about. With it being the Sunday of the show and the Seahawks game starting 2 hours after opening, it was SLOW. I walked it once and spent most of my ~90 minutes there talking with James Sego and a few others. As I looked in the different cases, I saw one stand-out slab that I love. Everyone has seen the coin that's been re-graded (or crossed), received a lower grade, and the dealer tapes the original cert label on top of the slab. For this coin, though, the dealer sawed off the entire top part of a PCGS slab--the label inside both sides of the plastic, and taped the whole thing atop the new slab. Once I realized why the top of the slab was so thick, I chuckled and immediately told a few people to take a look. Sadly for the dealer, it went from AU58 to cleaned. But I laughed, so it's all good

That was odd looking!

How many of the tables still had dealers at them??

I told a few dealers I was chatting with yesterday to bring in some big screen TVs/projectors today

Maybe 60-75% of the tables were still occupied when the day started. Most around the perimeter, and quite a few inside. Some people were packing up mighty early, though.

I am amazed that a dealer would actually show a slab like that.....too bad about the show ending on the same day as the Seahawk game...but Sunday afternoon always tended to be slow anyway....which, made for some deals.... Cheers, RickO
