<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1888031, member: 19463&quot;]This is something we have discussed before.&nbsp; I disagree with JA.&nbsp; I prefer not to post information about coming attractions because I don&#039;t want to jinx the completion of the acquisition.&nbsp;&nbsp; The last thing I want to do is to suggest to a seller that I am getting the coin to end all coin purchases worth ten times the price before he actually mails it too me.&nbsp; I prefer to wait, handle the coin, decide if I believe it is genuine and correctly identified and then, only then, post it for all to see (and say, &quot;Why did he buy that thing?&quot;).&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>A week from tomorrow, snow willing, I plan to attend the big coin show in Baltimore.&nbsp; I have no incoming coins from earlier purchases so I may be able to deal with the guilt of buying something too expensive for my blood if I happen to see the coin to end all coins.&nbsp; Wish me luck and tell me what I need to buy to round out my collection.&nbsp; When I go to a show some dealer who does not know me always asks what I&#039;m looking for.&nbsp; The current honest answer that I will never say is, &quot;Coins I can show and not be laughed off Coin Talk!&quot; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
