Jim, my dealer has this thing called "layaway." Took me 2 months and a rent deposit return to get her. HAHA! Now, where's that 1923-S... YIKES!
My dealer also has "layaway" and I use it a good bit---he knows me well enought and knows who my friends are so as long as I leave a little bit on tab I can take the coin home before its paid off---I did that with my 1916-D Dime and my 1942/1 Dime---since I wanted both but only had the money for one he let me put them on tab and pay as I go!
