    rat.jpg centet city.jpg 1945 50 c-horz.jpg PCGS Sample.JPG It was a small show, but with a lot of high end items.
    I stopped by the legend table and looked at there offerings. The gold was just outstanding.
    I picked up my 1945 Walker ( may have been the lowest price coin there) and PCGS was giving away a sample Lincoln and the Rare Market Report.
    Coin Images & I took 2 photos:
    1-The blow up rat the union like to use on non-union construction.
    2-Wm. Penn on top of city hall
    The traffic was awful.
    The 1945 Walker is much much nicer in hand.

    The 'rat' I recognize.......the symbol of non-union workers........

    The coin I recognize also, and a most beautiful one at that. Capital pickup Dennis. :)

    Thanks for the pics and the report. Always like seeing these since I rarely make it to shows right now.

    As a Philly guy I love the photos, I see these things here every day. Am not a PCGS member so I couldn't attend though I wished I could've.

    I live just outside the city and I avoid it when at all possible.

    It is amazing how common that sentiment is among a great many people that live "just outside" any large city.

    That's great, I can just take the train to the convention center.:D
    Driving in center city is just awful.

    I don't enjoy driving in center city but I don't mind it if I have to. I go to a little place called Jezabell's for breakfast (in a residential section of the city) and usually leave my car there and walk downtown. Not a bad stroll.

    Most times when I go to center city I just get on the train and go there.
    As I'm a senior citizen it only cost a dollar.

    I’d be taking the train also if it were $1 for me! Nice!
