<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2318242, member: 19463&quot;]I can see this as a valid point just not one that is important to me since I rarely want just one of anything. It is a good thing I don&#039;t collect EID MAR; I&#039;d want die varieties. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie57" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Of the 100 or so, how many are owned in multiples?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding the OP coin: To what do you attribute the completely missing S left of the portrait?&nbsp; The coin is well struck and sharp even on the back of the neck and there is much flan over there.&nbsp; Often a filled die shows a hint or disruption but where is this S? </p><p><br /></p><p>At the last Baltimore show, I saw two identified fakes.&nbsp; Someone above made the statement that coins at a show were safe because they were at a big show.&nbsp; Do the dealers among us agree with that or do you see tables sold to people who know not or could care less?&nbsp; I know there are vest pocket dealers walking the floor with good, bad and unknown coins.&nbsp; Have you seen them thrown out of big shows?&nbsp; If you were set up at a big show and had a table next to someone openly selling fakes, what would/could/should you do?&nbsp; I know nothing about the NYINC rules or policing but a show with many tables selling bags and bags of low end examples of highly faked items would be hard to police.&nbsp; I know dealers on VCoins who have been told by management to take down a fake but I do not know how common this is.&nbsp; At a 3-4 day show, it would seem impossible.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
