<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Publius2, post: 7400124, member: 105571&quot;]I went to the local coin club monthly show in Melbourne, Florida today.&nbsp; Very busy.&nbsp; About 40 dealers and the floor was packed with people, could hardly move.&nbsp; Brisk business going on and more than one dealer told me he has no inventory and could sell anything good he had.</p><p><br /></p><p>Was at one dealer&#039;s table where an older gentleman was showing a 1877 IHC VG-10, ANACS small white holder.&nbsp; Dealer, owner and I had a nice conversation about grade of the coin if it was sent in for re-holdering to NGC.&nbsp; I thought it would easily reholder at 10 and might go to 12.&nbsp; Clean coin.&nbsp; I even asked him if he was interested in selling it to me but he declined.&nbsp; Note, I did not undercut the dealer who was not trying to buy the coin nor was the owner trying to sell it.&nbsp; I am very sensitive to interfering in that kind of thing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I didn&#039;t buy anything at the show but the highlight was a 1907 Quarter Eagle, slabbed by NGC at PR-68* Cameo.&nbsp; It was in a special holder signed by Miles Standish who the dealer told me is president of NGC and who changed his first name to match his ancestor, yes, that Miles Standish.&nbsp; I can&#039;t attest to the truth of any of that, it&#039;s just what he told me.&nbsp; But the coin itself was, as the Brits say, &quot;absolutely fabulous&quot;![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
