<p>[QUOTE="White Ger. Shep. Lover, post: 4229000, member: 108450"]I may be thinking a bit out of the box here, but how about taking these coins out on tour prior to their sale? I know that I would drive a few hundred miles to see this brilliant collection in person. They would be the headliner for any and every big coin show. You could easily charge $5-$10 for people to have their picture taken with their favorite *CIHC. I might even fork over a cool 20 spot for the privilege. I would probably open the show with a nice speech ( Sam Elliott or Morgan Freeman preferably) about Uncle Daddy Warbucks and how he came to amassing his majestic collection. As far as the show's ending, definitely extinguish the lights, so everybody can show their approval by flicking on their lighters in a bid for an encore glimpse of that spectacular '09-S once again. And it should go without saying that this type of event should not rekindle thoughts or notions of passing marijuana cigarettes throughout the crowd like it were a Led Zeppelin concert from back in the day. Yes, it is now legal in certain States, but massive amounts of pot smoke could potentially seep into the collection and .........I was going to say that the coins could be damaged, but on second thought, has anyone ever experimented with marijuana as a toning trigger with copper? I'm thinking if done correctly, it could result in some wonderful natural looking toning brilliance. It's not legal here in Wisconsin , but it now is a stone's throw from here in Illinois. Guess where I'm motoring off to tomorrow?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
