<p>[QUOTE="jaceravone, post: 1966587, member: 9474"]Basically, when we saw that the line was too long and we weren't going to stand in it, we went over to another door to wait to be let in because we were dealers. Unfortunately, this caused some confusion and people started to line up behind us. We told them that this wasn't the coin line, but people still started to line up behind us. So when one of the big dealers saw this, he decided to come over to us with two of his goons and try to threaten and intimidate us. We are pretty big guys ourselves so we didn't back down which they didn't like. They went over to the police and tried to have them remove us, but the police said we weren't breaking any laws. (This is the heresy part) This dealer (or someone associated with them, pulled aside this Rhonda lady or someone with her group and complained about us. That is when one of her assistants (or someone associated with the ANA) came out and told us that we were not getting any coins today. THis person was the one who relayed to us what had transpired. He said basically they had organized the line with the ANA's blessing and that we were trying to go around their system so Rhonda made it very clear that if were weren't in the "official" line that were were not to receive any coins. At that point, the ANA security was hoovering over us like hawks. Needless to say, I was very upset about the whole thing. I am a life member of the ANA and did not like how I was treated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
