I'm sorry I passed up the invitation from one of S. Contursi (?) salesman to attend the event but with only 1 day at the show I was too anxious to go walk the bourse floor.
I never hear the end of it that my wife thought I should buy the Ct Museum AU 58 at the Jan. 2000 fun show. Gary Carlson had it and had to tell her 6 years later that it sold for 5X the money. I do regret it as it was extremely original and the adjustment marks around the periphery didn't bother me in the least.

Cardinal do you have any pics of you holding the coin where you can clearly see the edge?
I do not. There were a lot of photos taken during the 2004 ANA, mostly just to document the event. Tom Mulvaney took photos of the coin itself, and those were the only ones that specifically focused on the coin. No pictures were taken at all during the 2009 ANA when the coin was raw. (At that 2009 ANA, I got to see the coin cracked out, examined raw, and then re-holdered, all within the span of 15 minutes!)
At the 2004 ANA, Tom Mulvaney did take one photo of the edge of the coin -- using the reflector from a flashlight to make the rims visible. None of the photos were digital photos, and so the resolution was less than optimal. This was the photo of the rim:

Are there any copies of Cardinal's book still available? Were there any later editions?
the most under appreciated side of a coin
Anyone?
