<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Log Potato, post: 1402857, member: 26787&quot;]Today, I made the trip to Baltimore.&nbsp; I showed up around 11:30 with a good friend of mine in tow.&nbsp; This is the first year that I had all my coins purchased before I even got to the show.&nbsp; First stop was at table 310.&nbsp; There I spoke with Mike Hayes and Arnie Heller.&nbsp; I was to pick up 2 coins from Mike, and 1 from Arnie. I ended up picking up one more from Arnie as well.&nbsp; These guys had such nice Barber Halves.&nbsp; I wish I had more money in my coin budget to spend, but I couldn&#039;t.&nbsp; Mike also had his two Barber error coins on display.&nbsp; What a sight to behold.&nbsp; Really cool stuff.&nbsp; Mike was as inviting as always, and it was the first time I met Arnie.&nbsp; Two very nice guys.</p><p><br /></p><p>Next stop was to PCGS to drop off my submission.&nbsp; I am very glad I had my form filled out with all of the coins bundled in flips and labeled.&nbsp; If not, I would have been waiting there forever.&nbsp; Luckily one of the nice ladies there realized I was 100% complete and took my submission while one of her other clients was filling out the submission.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>My third stop was to Glenn Holsonbake.&nbsp; Glenn was holding two coins for me at the show. Glenn was stationed at Larry Shapiro&#039;s table.&nbsp; Glenn is a super nice guy and always welcoming.&nbsp; We chatted for a bit and then I moved on to my next stop.&nbsp; By the way, Don Rinkor has some of the most amazing DMPL morgans I have ever seen.&nbsp; I&#039;m not usually a morgan fan, but I walked away from that table as one.</p><p><br /></p><p>My fourth stop was to Todd from BlueCC photos.&nbsp; Todd is another very nice guy.&nbsp; I had him shoot my NEWPS as well as two other coins I brought along.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>My friend I perused the floor for the next couple of hours.&nbsp; I wasn&#039;t really looking for anything at that point, but still wanted to look.&nbsp; I was mainly looking at Seated Halves and I found one I have been looking for for sometime now.&nbsp; It was an 1891 in F12.&nbsp; A very original coin, and I fell in love with it.&nbsp; Unfortunately, that was the wrong day to see it.&nbsp; I had to pass on it, but I will own one some day.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>All in all, I had a great time.&nbsp; Next time, I&#039;ll try not to purchase my coins before the show so I can give a better report.&nbsp; Oh yeah, and the pics.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]169025.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH]169026.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH]169027.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH]169028.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
