Message:: [QUOTE="John Anthony, post: 1988604, member: 42773"]I have to add a personal story to this thread. When the Gettysburg show was first announced, I had planned to attend, but then I realized it fell on the weekend my wife and I had planned a romantic getaway. So I put the show out of my mind. It turns out we went antiquing in Harrisburg - there's a huge antiques mall in Lemoyne, and we had a great time there. She found a number of items to add to her collections, but there were very few coins to speak of, and they were grossly overpriced. When we were leaving she said, "It's too bad you didn't have a better selection of coins." Well, I took that as a cue, and told her about the Gettysburg show, which was only 35 miles from Harrisburg. She was actually upset with me for not saying so earlier, and insisted that we go. Not only did she go to her first show, but she walked the bourse and collected a dozen coins of her own. I did not see that coming. I just need to say that I have the best wife in the world! In particular, we had a very interesting and educational experience at Andy Singer's table. The man is more than happy to discourse at length on each and every coin in his inventory, and his knowledge is extensive.[/QUOTE]
