Message:: [QUOTE="illini420, post: 805728, member: 19423"]left work early today and it took forever to get there w/ the traffic due to rain.  ended up getting to the show around 3:30pm.  had enough time to sell a couple of coins, buy a new 1909 Lincoln cent in PCGS MS66RD, check out the ship of gold exhibit, view a couple of Heritage lots and to see some friends. started out on a big down note when a dealer who was supposed to be holding a coin for me told me he must have messed up and sold it!!!!  I was furious!!!!!  If I knew there was a chance of that I would have insisted that he mail the coin to me at that time instead of holding it until the Long Beach show.  Of course, I now see that same coin on eBay where it'll likely sell for much more than the price promised to me.  Not cool at all.   The ship of gold was cool.  So was Dale Friend's early half dollar collection.  will check them out in more detail tomorrow when hopefully I'll be more calmed down about the dealer screwing up my deal.[/QUOTE]
