You have to be careful about the first day. Some show charge an early bird fee. For the Whitman shows that amounts to $100. Also on the first...
I've never seen a reverse proof in real life. I'll have to look for one the next show I go to. Looks like they could be quite appealing.
Just received anothe IHC from MFD. The set is growing at about 2-3 per month. This is #38 and puts me about 65% complete for my NGC Registry...
Here's a link to my NGC Registry Set for US gold coins. Hopefully it will work (I still have trouble with this)....

Buy from the Mint. Then you aren't paying the dealer's overhead. And you aren't paying the cost of slabbing. Plus selling with the original...
You didn't say what the coins were. I don't know what the possibilities are in the EU, but especially if you aren't working with US coins maybe...
I only got two coins at the Baltimore Whatman show last Friday. Both are good, but one's a REAL goodie. Another IHC for my set: [IMG] Only...

Just came back from Scotland (very wet; very windy). Found out there's also a £2 coin. Smallest note is £5. By the time I went to England the...
