| What's the furthest you've ever traveled to attend a coin show. I live in Southern California and the Long Beach Expo is coming up in a little more than a month. It's about a 45 mile drive. I've never flown to a coin show, as a matter of fact the Long Beach Expo is the only show I can recall ever going to. |

| I appreciate your response living water, but I'm aware of most all of what you pointed out. What I'd like to see is someone who can post an MS-69 graded coin and specifically point out what kept it from being an MS-70 (i.e. "see the tiny spot just to the left of the eagle's wing? That's the reason." Or something similar.) |

| I'm guessing this has been adressed somewhere before, but I haven't seen it. I would like someone to post an MS-69 coin and explain why it didn't garner an MS-70 designation from PCGS or NGC. I've seen pics of an MS-69 and for the life of me they look perfect to me. |

| It's currently 5:20 p.m. on Tuesday 11/19. The Flowing Hair Gold coin is still showing as "not available" which I believe means they don't have any ready to go, but they'll be making more at a later date. I believe this has happened before with other issues. Can anyone confirm this? Anyone recall how long it took before additional inventory became available, or is it possible they sold 17,500 coins in 10 minutes on the first day? Have they released sales figures for that first day yet? |

| I was able to get in a few seconds after 12 p.m. (never been that lucky before), and completed my order without a hitch by 12:01. Paid for the overnight delivery for the first time ever because I was already if for $3,600, so what's another $25 (never paid for overnight service before...they'll probably leave it on my front porch). Got an email at 6:01 p.m. saying it was shipped. I figured this would be popular, but I didn't think it would it would become unavailable after only 10 minutes. With issuance of 17,500 coins I still think anyone who wants one will be able to get one.....from the mint. |
