Message:: [QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1675105, member: 26302"]Fair enough Chris, but what I would have done is just walk up as close to the table as I could and asked to see the medal. Coin shows can be frustrating, as they get very busy, somewhat different than most coin shops. I have done this before, if I see a coin I am really interested in, just get the dealer's attention. The incident at a show where I lost it was when I was looking at a tray, going over the coins, and a guy came up and just grabbed a couple. One, I was taken aback by his rudeness. I was actively looking at these. Two, I wanted to make dang well sure the dealer saw and knew this guy had possession of these coins, since the tray was full when it was given to me. I did not wish to hand back a tray missing two coins and the dealer assuming I had them. A "middle situation" that I am still mad about but still not quite sure how I feel is when a similar thing happened. I was looking at a tray of coins, (not long, maybe 5 minutes), and the DEALER came over and took one out and handed it to someone else to look at. I got mad, gave the tray to the dealer and muttered "I guess you simply do not want my business then" and walked away. Was I right to get mad? I could see if I had the tray for 20 minutes or something, or was not actively looking at the coins in the tray, but I just thought it rude of the dealer to take one out while I was looking at them.
