Trip to Israel

I hope we have peace soon so you can go.

One can hope, but I doubt it in my lifetime.

 

You just saved me a lot of trouble.
When I went to look at the Kogen coin (see thread above) i found it used as a book mark in my "Guide to Biblical Coins" by Hendin (1st edition.) I realized that if i had carried the book with me as planned, i would legally not be able to export the coin from Israel, since it did not have papers from IAA!!
If a customs official had noticed it, I would have been in trouble!!! Anyway, i now will be certain that any coins I buy will be from dealers who ship or coins which have papers from IAA.

 

Quite frankly, at this point I'd feel safer going to Israel than Baltimore.

lol

 

Why Baltimore?

 

Well, I went to the Baltimore show a few months back and was unnerved by having to walk through the parking garage with a pocketful of expensive coins that I had purchased. Then a few months later the city erupted in anarchy. I decided not to go to the most recent show.

 

That's a shame. I have gone to every Baltimore show (3x/yr.) since 2011. I had to skip this last one because of my trip. You know, they have a FedEx station right there on the show floor and there is usually a USPS operation in the convention center. I have never used them since I go with muscle (my wife, lol) so we are a pair. Also, we park in an open air lot, but still scary. Also, I have an insurance policy with H Wood (ANA recommended), which is the best check I write each year because of the peace of mind it brings me. Don't give up on Baltimore!

 

I won't give up on Baltimore. I just need to make safer arrangements. Perhaps someday we'll meet at the show.

 

We can meet up at Perrry Siegel's table (Herakles) in early November.

Well, I've got go now. I am shutting down my computer for two weeks. See you-all then.

 

Safe and pleasant travels to you, Arturo!
