Thanks, everyone ! Happy Thanksgiving to all ! May you have a wonderful day with the fam.
Are you talking about the Money Show of the Southwest December 2-4 ? We are definitely in ! Since that's my home turf, I can show ya around town....
Here's an interesting quote from Matt's thread : "I just wanted to demonstrate how different you can make a coin look by just adjusting lighting...
No, he said "always pay close attention". All agree it is best to see a coin first. However, many, many coins are sold without the buyer seeing...
