<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 113838, member: 4552&quot;]One dealer I know was telling me he once bought a raw 16D Merc from a guy he knew for many, many years. He sent it in for grading and it came back counterfeit. That&#039;s when he found out that he really didn&#039;t know that guy that sold it to him well enough to know his complete name, address, phone number or actually not much at all. It was a guy that just kept coming to his place, bought some minor things, talked alot and left. Now when he would like to see that guy to get his money back the guy never showed up again. I would never buy a valuable coin unless it was slabbed. Especially coins that are know for being cointerfeited such as the 16D Merc, 09S VDB Lincoln, 55DD Lincoln, etc. </p><p>Now as to this show at the Rosemont on the 25th someone mentioned. Didn&#039;t see that one advertised this year yet. Did I miss something? 25th of what Month? </p><p>Last year the show at the Rosemont had well over 500 dealers, Closer to 600 I think. However, being a coin show person I talked to some of the dealers I know and like they said, the prices of the talbles are really high so their coin prises will reflect that cost. Then there is the $11 to park and the $5 to get in if it is the same as last years show. I left without buying anything. I did however, pick up copies of many coin magazines, newsleters, miscellaneous documents that were all free at the front table. In the Chicago area there are several much smaller coin shows that are free to get in, free to park and the prices of the coins reflect that. However, if there is ever a coin show to go to just to look, wish, learn, etc. it is the Rosemont once a year spectacular.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
