<p>[QUOTE="Terence Cheesman, post: 7370499, member: 86498"]Thursday is the "early bird" day at the NYINC. The entrance fee for that day is over $100, thus I always refer to it as my "stupidity tax" The first time I went to this show I had actually planned not to go. After all that is a lot of money to spend just to get into a show. This was the coin that changed my mind.</p><p>Thourioi Ar Distater or dinomos 400-359 BC Obv.

Hansen[ATTACH=full]1284111[/ATTACH]The night before I was in my hotel room trying to work out what I was going to do the next day when I happened on the CNG site and noticed that they had just put up a group of coins in their coin shop. This one immediately caught my attention as it was of a type I had been looking for for a while. I spent much of the night weighing the pros and cons of actually going to the early bird and it was not until the next morning that I concluded that I needed to go. So I went. This was the last show at the Waldorf Astoria so the rooms were a bit of a maze. I got in looked at the coin, then took about half an hour to look around at some of the other tables went back and bought it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
