    I went to my neighbor's Memorial Day BBQ this afternoon and had some tasty pork and beef and several adult beverages. Got back home an hour or so ago and went on ebay. Bad choice! I am now the proud owner of an "un-searched" bank wrapped roll of cents with "an Indian on both ends!". With shipping this will cost me about $15.00, not the most money I've wasted on something foolish, but still. I'll let you know how it turns out when I get the coins. This is just a PSA for those of us who may drink and ebay over this long weekend. Perhaps I may save one fellow collector from an awful mistake. Have a great Memorial Day Weekend!!

    That is a funny title. I think people do that across all hobbies. It can be particularly dangerous to the wallet when mixed with late night/early morning hours! lol

    Well Mr. Fields, they contained vodka and rum and a bunch of fruit that I fed to the critters. The critters seemed happy.

    And before you ask what kind of critters, the chipmunks came in big time. They sniffed and jumped back like it hurt but came in for the munch anyway. Gonna have a lot of chipmunks with hangovers here in the morning!

    There should be a breathalyzer on the CPU that blocks ebay.

    Another advice is don't buy raw coins when you're really tired. For some reason your mind can't analyze the grades correctly.

    I bet that is when a lot of those Chinese fake Morgan dollars get bought--when somebody is major league under the influence while on E-bay.

    Good Luck ! I bought 10 rolls of unsearched Wheat Cents a few months ago and didn't make any discoveries worth noting. However, I did purchase a complete set of Washington Quarters 1948-64 for the silver and something to look through. BINGO ! Got a 56 type B to add to that set. I had a suspicion. There was also a 58, but instead of being a type B, it was a culled proof. Darn !

    You won;t find anything without looking. And you need coins to look at. Bank boxes and bags are getting really stingy in my area anyway.

    Hope you find a 14D or 09S or 09S vdb

    Better yet, all THREE !

    Whoa ! Wait a minute............I thought adult beverages were Jose Cuervo straight up with cold Negro Modelo backs ???

    Sounds like you had punch.

    I've only bought one Chinese fake Morgan and I did it while sober...I wanted to see how good they had become. It's scary good, I won't buy another Morgan unless I see it in hand.

    My best ebay acquisitions are when i was bidding under the influence (BUI).

    Oops!

    This post has been edited because I am PUI, posting under the influence. Sure wish I had some Cuervo Gold right now. You have to love that Mexican gold.

    May have saved me some money but I wouldn't have some of the great coins & notes I have now. My collection would be a bit smaller if I only bid sober. It's a toss up sometimes.
