<p>[QUOTE=&quot;panzerman, post: 3309231, member: 77704&quot;]WOW!</p><p>I was at a coin (CNA) show in Ottawa. I decided to drop in during my work, that Sunday. I looked kinda grubby in my camo pants. Make a long story short, I had around 4K cash in my pocket, I noted a MS-64 1765-HS Dukat/ Empress Maria Theresia /Transylvania/ man that coin spoke to me and the price was 3500 Dollars Canadian. I asked the dealer if I could take the slabbed coin and look at it in detail with my magnifiers, he basically said no. Then I told him I had the $$$$ to pay cash.....then he let me handle the slabbed coin. I ended up, even though miffed by his attitude buying the coin, no tax<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Now, its has a new home with my other Transylvanian gold dukats. However, I personally have never handled any of my coins with exposed fingers....</p><p>I guess, my memory from a kid influenced me, a super rare US proof CC dime that had a &quot;fingerprint&quot;......to forever flaw that coin.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>John[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
