<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SteveInTampa, post: 1542841, member: 27107&quot;]It was while attending my first big show. The <b>FUN</b> event, January 2011. I was excited to be standing in front of Scott Lindquist&#039;s table to get him to autograph my edition of the Standard Guide to Small-Size U.S.Paper Money. Scott stood up, smiled and shook my hand before signing the book. Afterwards he asked &quot;What do you collect ?&quot;&nbsp; I told him I was looking for some 1935A $1 SC <b>R &amp; S</b> experimentals. He said he had a pair in VF, but I was looking for AU or better. He picked up a short stack of notes and came around the table to sit beside me and explain the differences between VF, XF and AU. Scott spent close to 20 minutes showing me the subtle differences between grades, how to spot good embossing, detecting folds, front to rear centering, and all the while other collectors had gathered behind us listening to this pro&#039;s advise and opinions. My first formal grading lesson from a dealer I had just met. Needless to say, I have done business with Scott many times since this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
