<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Steve E, post: 40220, member: 2147&quot;]We met at 3:30.&nbsp; I almost hit that darn floor again when he handed me the coins.&nbsp; They had them LAMINATED!!&nbsp; As it turns out it was just not to be this time around.&nbsp; Someone had gouged the leaf on with a sharp object.&nbsp; I felt so bad for the boy.&nbsp; To see his face turn from absolute joy to utter dissapointment was horrible.&nbsp; We did have a long very good conversation though.&nbsp; I showed him how to tell his was a fake and how the true variation would look, how it was made, etc..&nbsp; We talked coins and he did seem very interested.&nbsp; Before long he had my loupe and was checking all his pocket change, he kept saying &quot;cool&quot;.&nbsp; I gave him all of my old issues of Coin World, the monthly price guide and an extra copy of Photograde and you would have thought he DID find the real quarter by the look on his face.&nbsp; I know what he&#039;ll be doing tonight.&nbsp; I think I will ask if they want to go to the next coin show with me and meet some great dealers/friends, I think he would like that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
