Oh, believe me, I’d have drawers full of it. I only detected for a week over there, in 2013, and found all sorts of interesting doodads. If I...
Amazingly, in just about a month, @Randy Abercrombie has completed 75% of his Roman Twelve Caesars collection, with nine of the twelve. Many...
Back home, now. (My home turf, at least.) Took Randy to dinner at Sunrise Grille on Jekyll Island, just a few hundred yards from the ocean. We...
Our last stop on the way out the door was a revisit to the Wayne Herndon table, where we said hi to @Evan Saltis and ogled the 1792 half disme...
At another table, this necklace made of 1804 Bank of Ireland dollars was pretty impressive, I thought. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
At the next table (Time Machine), they had some non-coin antiquities and a fun 3/$50 pick bin of interesting artifacts. I couldn’t resist picking...
So I only bought some cheap biblical Widow’s Mites at that last table, but boy howdy, there was some real eyecandy there, too! [ATTACH] The one...
At the next stop, I saw a dealer selling NGC slabbed Widow’s Mites at a reasonable price. I forget now- they might have been 30 bucks apiece- but...
Next stop was the NGC table. Three of my recently purchased coins went off there. Since all three were from different categories, I was required...
I wanted a gold cob and a $3 gold piece on this trip. Got the cob yesterday (Saturday), as previously posted. My second of two goals for the...
I just saw Aaron Berk at the FUN show this morning. It was one of those moments where you recognize somebody, but it takes you a moment to...
A nice early Walker for the giveaway stash. Cost me 22 bucks. Lower grade but wholesome. [ATTACH]
Sunday, January 12, 2025. It is a somewhat brisk day by Florida standards, being in the low 50s Fahrenheit. But sunny and cloudless. Quite...
At the sister property of the hotel where I work, you could at one time have gotten a shot of 1939 Glenlivet.
Ditto. I got some nice stuff, including three purchases that crossed into four-figure territory (more on that in a moment), but thanks to cashing...
I’m sure the dealer who has those is totally hip to all the varieties, so I wouldn’t expect to find stuff like that in his cheapo pick bin material.
Don’t feel bad, Russ. Until three years ago I played only in the lower-price end of the spectrum. Many a FUN show in the early 2000s saw me with...
I wanted to- there were a couple in there that were reverse-side-up, which looked promising. But alas, the dealer was away from the table, and I...
That was me! :)
No, sorry. Basically, the idea is to bend the slab until it cracks. It doesn’t matter so much how you do it, or what you use as a fulcrum. You...
