Wow there is a lot of fun and history in our hobby
After attending my 1st show, I can tell any of you new collectors like myself once you go you will want to go back.
For me, I as able to bring my son with me and as I was telling him about some of the coins I knew a little about. Almost every dealer was able to expound on what I was telling him and not only enhance my sons knowledge but mine as well.

Proof & MS W. Eagles
...SUSPENDED
The good news is that it looks like the "W" MS eagles will happen (if we stop buying the regulars)
