<p>[QUOTE="sonlarson, post: 2164320, member: 15488"]As was every other dealer there. I visit the shows in Fort Worth and Grapevine, and always see the same group of dealers. They are always great and friendly people. This one I only see at the TNA. I know who he is and I know where his shop is in Dallas. If I had known it was his table I would kept walking. I remember a couple of years ago at the TNA in Fort Worth, a gentleman showed him a 1916 Standing Liberty Quarter he was wanting to sell. He took a quick look at it and asked how much. The customer quoted a price and the dealer <i><b>tossed</b></i> the coin on the table and told him "good luck, coin has problems, shop it around and check back with me on you way out". My son was with me at the time and was stunned. I had a $80 coin in my hand I was looking at, placed it back on the table and walked away. I explained to my son that even if it was a problem coin, it was a rarity and probably the man's pride and joy. A little later in the show we walked by a table that had a CAC PCGSMS65 1909 S V.D.B behind the glass. I pointed it out to my son and explained that it was a $3000 coin. The dealer walked up, took the coin out of the case, and handed it to my son to look at. That was class!. No I didn't buy it, but I always stop at his table.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
