<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2150276, member: 19463"]All these are good points. Perhaps my attraction to shows is I get the thrill of the chase some find cleaning the uncleaned or trying to outbid Clio. We all like a little excitement in our boring old hobby. I catch myself not looking as closely at coins at a show as I should and would look at a photo online. At the last show I bought a coin in a stapled cardboard holder without opening it only to find it was afake with serious edge seam. The dealer took it back and admitted he bought it in that 2x2 and had not looked either. That experience should slow me down for a while. I saw the paper glued on the obverse but figured that would come off easily. The edges were completely covered by the 2x2. Should have known better but the show rush was on.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]412553[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
