Re: Slabbed coins - There are some coins that LIVE within clear plastic and wear their labels with pride... while there are others that HIDE behind scratched plastic and are simply dragged along by a label. Then there are those coins that simply hang out, naked and free

Is it true the Rolling Stones will be playing at halftime?
Seriously I had a great time at last years show and plan on being there for the whole show

Unless we get a late-season heat wave I will be wearing the Brown Leather Hat ™
...and ambro ... I sure hope not about the Rolling Stones... most over rated garage band in history IMHO ... (heck, I'd much rather see Madonna... or Lady Gaga even... better yet, though... how about Madonna singing with the used-to-be-Grateful Dead? Now that would be cool... )

Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Following that will be a walking tour of some of the sites discussed in the presentation, followed by a private viewing of some of Stewart's collection at Independence Hall.
The fun starts at 1pm on Friday!
I firmly believe in numismatics as the world's greatest hobby, but recognize that this is a luxury and without collectors, we can all spend/melt our collections/inventories.

If I make an appearance, it'll be on Saturday. My first priority is making sure my kid has done what needs doing. Here's to hoping for a light homework load.
.....and I was actually gonna come and bring my 1863 gold dollar with for a 'second look'.
youre gonna miss my squirrel monkey crawling all over ya too. Im training him now to give people a shave with a straight razor. Scary Fun to say the Least......
Originally PCGS was scheduled to attend and grade onsite. But we later found out that the show had been rescheduled to the week following Long Beach, much to our dismay. It is impossible for us to grade at shows on consecutive weeks. We have a large amount of equiment that neeeds to be crated and shipped several days ahead of each show. Not to mention a couple dozen people that have to be moved around the country.
Plus having shows on consecutive weeks is bad business. It's bad for all the participants. Dealers in particular have to fly across the country and have no time to organize and prepare between shows or else they choose between the two shows. Not a good situation. So PCGS is choosing between the two. We will support the Long Beach show.
1. prepare a traveling set of basic equipment that can easily be shipped to shows.
2. preposition display and support materials in storage facilities near major show sites.
3. train locals in major show cities to do basic support work that is now done by PCGS staff. Use them instead of shipping staff around the country.
4. assess frequency of use and revenue of services and equipment. Cut low use/low revenue offerings.
On a less practical note, if you put staff in wooden crates, they can be shipped at lower rates than as airplane passengers. If they live in the crates, they can be available on short notice ... just drill air holes and a potty hole.
Seriously, there should be scheduling coordination between all the major auction houses & convention organizers. Whether that would violate anti-competitive laws I am not sure, but it would make sense for the collecting public.
I am disappointed that PCGS will not be there, as I normally do most of my submissions to PCGS at shows.

<< <i>I'm really sorry to have to miss this show again! But this year it coincides with the Buena Park show (which is local to me and a show I try not to miss) but even more importantly, it's the same weekend as the rescheduled Tom Petty concert!!!! >>
Don't back down, Charmy ... just keep Running Down a Dream...
<< <i>Tom Petty! They cancelled their show last Long Beach (on me) >>
I know, sorry about that Rick! Tell you what, this American Girl will venture Into the Great Wide Open and have a Last Dance With Mary Jane in your honor while all the rest of you Philly show Refugees are Runnin' Down a Dream!

That's not going to see Tom Petty instead...
"Royal Portraits: Medals of the German Empire"
In the 1800s and early 1900s, thousands of different medals were struck to celebrate the German royal and imperial families. What do these regal portraits tell us about Germany and the German people? What cultural messages did they reinforce, and why? And as the Empire began to fall apart during World War I, how did those messages change? Award-winning researcher and writer Dennis Tucker will share images from his collection in this richly illustrated presentation.

Better to be actively gazing... than just taking up space and glazing
<< <i>In addition to the aforementioned and very real logistical problems, Collectors Universe owns both the Long Beach Show and PCGS. It is surely at best a secondary gain based on a rare conflation of events, but it won't hurt PCGS to lessen their positive impact on a venue set up deliberately as an East Coast alternative to Long Beach.
Whitman is trying to make its East Coast shows have the drawing power as of the Long Beach shows, so draining away dealer attendance to Phila. strengthens their franchise while weakening that of CU's.
Not the only reason for the show. A Phila. show helps avoid some potential Baltimore sales tax problems. Baltimore, a much more established Whitman show, is but a month after Phila. so East Coast customers still get an end-of-year opportunity for on-site PCGS services. Major dealers and their customers have already devised tactics for dealing with bi-coastal service issues. Isn't the Invitational only two weeks before LB? Basta!
Enlightened self-interest suggests we'll get a higher level of service if the resources of graders and support staff aren't over-utilized. Perhaps even world class graders (excepting the ever-vibrant Miles)lose some of their mojo being hit with a mass of high-power items two weeks in a row. Jet-lag can result from either the hydrostatic tension of any flight or the disruption of circadian rhythm created by time zone chages. Try combining the two. Even if one were instantaneously teleported to the East Coast, getting up at 4:30 PST sharpens very few minds or bodies. It's just not the same as eating lunch at "Chinez" and going home to the wife and kids each night. >>
If you are not THE Mr. Taxay, you sure write like you might be...
With that said... welcome to the forum...
...and are YOU planning on making it to Philly?
...or might the jetlag be a bit too tax-ing?
It sure looks like they are out to attack Long Beach for what its worth. Truthfully, having major show without PCGS is empty and not really a major show.
I have no plans to attend Phili. even thoguh it is within driving distance.
