...u think many coinex dealers will participate at the imex show in nashville later this month? did u see or hear of any comments bout that show? any advertising?

The dealer list is out for IMEX. A good mix, but lacking some of the ones I’d like to see.

Great find, interesting story. 

I think the majority of them are in the wait and see mode. No positive responses yet - still waiting on a couple to answer.  I’ll have to check out their website - maybe they have an dealer list.

Family situation to take care of but would be great to see everybody.  Not sure how much buying I'd be doing this time unlike in 2019 as it's been a tough year job-wise and portfolio-wise. 

I thought you’ve been a bit quiet. Better luck next year.

I talked to a few when the show was first announced and they said that they were not going to it, but things change so I will have to pulse them again. They did seem interested in the show, however. Good project for this morning.

I’m envious. Too bad you don’t have time to attend a British Numismatic Society meeting or pop over to Kew and search the archives. A trip to the British Museum would be nice.

cheers

Too busy and too colorful. Just my opinion.

'Twasn't a sovereign or Tuppence.  More likely a Guinea or Half Guinea, if that lesser denomination exists.  Just cannot recall but remember she bit into it and was all excited in that charming cockney way.   Thanks.

I beg to differ. The setting was 1912. Guineas were long out of circulation so if the coin was gold, why else would she bite it, it was a sovereign or half sovereign. Given Rex’s library, below, it would most certainly be a full sovereign. My tuppence worth.

Full sovs? I didn’t realize they were carried much. 

They were, many holders in many different configurations. I don’t have a photo of a nice half and full sovereign carry case handy. The one posted is for full sovereigns.

I’ll just hustle back to Paris. 

I haven’t been to Paris in decades and have no desire to ever go again. Scotland on the other hand is on my list to visit next, along with the Isle of Man and Northern Ireland.

Sorry about the lighting. Not light balanced. 

And you didn’t pick me up one?

In addition to CoinElite, look at CoinManage. Both are decent

Good points by all, lots of directions to go with such a general question, for a bullion piece it's hard to go wrong with a nice AU or low MS common date $2.50 Indian or SGDE. You'll pay a little extra for certification but it's probably worth it if your not familiar with these. In general,  counterfeits are less of a concern with world coins but buyer bewear. The more collected a coin the more one will come across fakes. Buy from a knowledgeable seller, especially if you're unfamiliar with the coin/series.

Hope some members got to see and hear these.

Would have like to seen them, but sadly not. 

The 1822 stands out for me. Very nice.

1. The program is currently cloud based. I think that this makes the most sense in terms of keeping up with the "trends of technology". However I could see a downside in terms of not being able to edit offline. Can I ask, which would you prefer? 

I am probably in the minority, but like to edit and store offline. 
flexible reports are a must.

good luck.

Hey guys, great news! Just saw a news article stating that O'hare is now home to 400+ Illegal Immigrants. Wonder what that number will be by August 24? That should make everyone comfortable carrying their backpacks/briefcases to and from the show.

They are only there for the Italian Beefs and Chicago hot dogs. Maybe a sneak visit to Berghoffs. Otherwise they’d go to Midway.

...problem is finding qualified foreign graders....

Agree! The most probable start would be Europe and Australia although others are creeping up.

I like your idea. Are you anticipating a program that will reside on the customer’s computer or is it a cloud based/server service? What are your plans for keeping up with technology as it evolves? Do you have the staff and expertise for that?

you asked MorganMan about the features he likes with coinmanage. They are continually adding the coins to their database that are easily added into the collector’s sets and inventory. It is also very easy to navigate. They do have a few issues, however. One is dealing with a record that has been corrupted. I am also not crazy about their reports, but that may have been improved in recent years. Their customer service is almost non-existent. MorganMan may or may not have an opposing opinion.
