Time To Revisit: Why restart this thread ? Well, this caught my eye: "...JP Morgan says Russia could give us a nasty surprise by cutting oil...
Still up in the air about going.....are both hotels equal-distant from the convention area ?
For currency, it's a bit different than with coins but point noted.
AU-55's and 58's are very nice-looking....sometimes the only way to afford a year or mint....and often better-looking than MS60-62's.

1st Strike and Proof are two totally separate things, BTW, as explained above.
Yeah, it probably would...coin might have aesthetic qualities like PL or something, too....but the U.S. Mint is not segregating the coins unless...
It's a marketing term. The first batch or what MAY be the first batch of modern coins is struck and then goes to the TPGs....they call it a "1st...
