Hello, all! I just put my little write up together to share with you all! I have to say, one of the highlights of the trip for me was meeting two CoinTalkers (C-B-D and Jallengomez), and about 6 or 8 people off the PCGS forums! I hope to have the pleasure of meeting many more of my fellow coin nerds in the future! Amanda's ANA Atlanta Write Up
Omg that 1895 is ----******!!!!!! Amazing!!!! One of the prettiest Morgans I ever seen!!!

@ Amanda, I put my O face on for that 95 proof. OMG how much and where can I pick it up? I did love your comment about the "magic" chairs. I had a coin show back home that I set up for which prevented me from coming down. Everyone had to have those chairs on top of their cases....like that was going to do anything. I was the only one who did not even bother to cover up my coins. Why waste the time!?!?!? There is an armed guard outside the door all night. Of course the next morning was great. All I did was walk in and turn on my lights and I was ready to go. Seriously, I want that 95 proof!
Thank you for this write up, Amanda. For somebody like me, whose work and family do not allow for the trip, it's nice to read about all of the beautiful coins and enjoyable times had by other collectors on this forum.
Heh heh! I can't wait to meet you as well Amanda! However, it definitely will not be at a coin show east of the Sierra Nevada's!
@jaceravone ... The Magic Charis will save your booty!! Hahaha, I've always thought it was funny as well, but who am I to break with tradition?? That 95 proof went to a happy home with a well known collector, who immediately set about point it to HIS facebook page. It was well over 6 figures, and that's all I can say about that!

SHOCK AND FREAKN AWE! After reading the comments, I was expecting a run of the mill '95, but WOW! This from a "reformed" Morgan collector.
thanks for the write up. and the "coin porn" those morgan DMPL where amazing. drool drool. the other coin I was/am still drooling on was/is that $3 dollar proof princess. wow gorgeous. when will your next coin show be ?
"Shock and freakin' awe", lol. The next show I'll be at will be the Sacramento show at the end of the month ... then after that I believe it's Vegas, baby! Sent from my iPad Junior Numismatist, Alhambra Coin Center www.lifeatthecoinshop.com www.facebook.com/lifeatthecoinshop

Hey hey we keep trying to get into the PNNA show, but we keep getting wait listed! Sent from my iPad Junior Numismatist, Alhambra Coin Center www.lifeatthecoinshop.com www.facebook.com/lifeatthecoinshop
I'm still floored by the 95 a pf 68!! I'm sure mid 6 figures a pf 63 usually brings $100k And that's not a coin I'm usually blown away by I'm usually far more excited by a high grade key cc Morgan or better yet a flowing hair or draped bust I'm hoping to pick some major show on the east side of the us probably later this year if business is good any reccomendations?
