I went to the PCGS Philly Show

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.

After really taken a good look at it I had to give it the most important sticker in all of numismatics, it's that nice.

 

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.

 

Good score!

 

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.

 

I won't make this one but hope they come back again to the east coast

 

World's Fair of Numismatics is in Philly next year.

 

That's great, I can just take the train to the convention center.
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.

 

Walking distance for me.

 

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