    Without a doubt, the most entertaining submission report I've seen. image

    You still suck, though.

    Alright, while they share the same DCAM features and grade, they are indeed of different parentage .. oh the shame. image

    And, perchance to entertain Russ, what a delight! By the way, I've always wondered Russ ... how do you deal with the acronym for your favorite coin (AH) matching up with the initials of one of the most villified slabbers (AH)? image

    hey Randy

    there's something to be said about having them in your grubby hands, isn't there??!!?? i mean, even though you knew the grades and that they were yours, it's somehow more real once they get home.

    what i find funny about us collectors is the lengths we go to finding these coins, the way we send them away and wring our hands in anticipation and gleefully announce our success. then we store them away to be seen only occasionally by the chosen few. indeed a peculiar hobby but one that gets under your skin deep.

    perhaps you can make the trek on September 7th to Painesville for our clubs' coin show. bring these buggers with you!!

    Bad choice of dates, Al ... Sept. 7 is all-day Farm Aid show in Columbus...John Mellencamp, Neil Young, Willie Nelson, Dave Mathews, Sheryl Crowe, Brooks & Dunn and many more to be announced. Tickets already in hand. I may be there for next big Cleveland show, though ...

    And, you are right .. it's like you forgot what they even looked like in the intervening three weeks out of your possession and you need to see those pieces of plastic and coins in hand to truly believe the grades posted online! image
