<p>[QUOTE="spirityoda, post: 3877471, member: 44633"]This story reminds me of the Las Vegas coin show I went to awhile back when they had the gold Kennedy 50 cents coins going on sale. I did not get 1 because at that time I did not want to spend that amount of money on that coin (mainly because I did not have that amount of money to spend on coins then). They had people try to cut in line and those people in line would not stand for it. The coin show security was watching the line like hawks too. There were also teenaged kids in strange color bright green T-shirts that said they would buy that coin from you at a nice profit for their rich dealers. If all you were doing in line was to flip your coin after you bought it then you had it made to turn a very quick profit. The teenagers that bought your coins would take the coins to the rich dealers that hired them and turn an even bigger profit at the end. It was so crazy though. It was funny to see, but I did not want to stand in line that long and they only had so many coins to sell. The people that flipped the those coins were very happy to be able to sell their coin quickly so they could afford other coins that they would not have been able to afford before they got there. I called it "The Frenzy". The buyers/collectors of that coin made a big profit. I had never seen such a spectacle over a coin at a Vegas coin since then.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
