    Supposed to receive mine tomorrow. I'm still doing the red core dance over here!

    Here's good vibes coming your way to receive at least one red core as well, @mrweaseluv !!

    There's some very interesting stuff even all the way down the list of black cores, lots of gold.

    Mine was last scanned in Minneapolis last night, so I know it will be in my grubby paws today! Now, along with the dance, I'm doing the red core chant!

    1921 s morgan MS64
    1885 p morgan MS65
    1902 p morgan MS64
    value of about 900 for 1500 spent...

    I would rather go to Vegas. I think my odds would be better.

    I share your pain @mrweaseluv add the sellers wholesale profit of say $500 and it’s worse. But you could have had a big one!

    The FedEx truck is gallivanting around the country side with mine still. I’ll have to do my reveal tomorrow.

    it was a gamble and while I've done well with VB you can't win every time, and even "losing" I got some very nice coins out of the deal :D

    Yes, sounds like it. I would never have gambled like you just did (I simply don’t have that kind of disposable income). But I will say this- at least it’s not like some other forms of gambling, where if you lose you get nothing at all.

    Exactly @lordmarcovan at least you get a coin out of the deal unlike throwing a lotto ticket in the bin. That's the thrill of gambling, there's always a chance.

    My coin was across the lake, eight miles away, for most of the day yesterday according to the FedEx tracker. Not sure why the driver did not come over to our town, perhaps he thought the highway was out and didn’t bring his swim trunks?

    Anyway, the tracking updated reading that I won’t get it until Monday now as apparently it went back to the hub.

    The anticipation builds.

    Add FedEx to the gamble. Given that FedEx was the catalyst that made me semi-retire from the hobby (I was already teetering on the edge) and the price tag, I'll pass. I'd consider FedEx more of a gamble than the initial buy. Unless I picked up an expensive box or took a chance on Walgreens, I'd be making that wonderful 25 mile trek to sign for it.
