  1. 90 days wasnt quite long enuf, i think the recipe calls for another 90 to simmer n maybe ferment....
  2. make it the two youngest numismatists...should go to someone young enuf to enjoy n appreciate it not some old fogy...but gracias for the thought...
  3. ...neither the sheldon nor the ana standards expand their definitions to include magnification boundaries, i would think that being perfect n having no imperfections basically equate, n in all four instances none state anything bout "as came from the dies"....which was my point of contention, just another feeble attempt to pass off opinion as fact that bears no supporting documentation...personally, im not aware of any man made item being perfect with the possible exception of bo derek.....
  4. no signs there...there is a russian flag on the sea bed 4000+ feet below, n once was a reflective sphere located there but long gone...i do have my bluenose certificate, so u can accept previous statements as credible...cant attest to moon signage didnt get that far....
  5. on the last day of the show....a big fat rooster egg...
  6. its a mixed bag as it is with every type of show or convention where goods r being sold...some r there for the quik transfusion of wholesale money, some for the upper retail buyers, some for obtaining future customers or retaining old, some just for the atmosphere n opportunities...the real bottom line is the money, but what should be the bottom line is the longevity of the hobby...without the infusion of new customers into the hobby it dies, after all the dealers who r wholesaling everything to other dealers can only last for so long if ultimately there r no end customers to sell to...on the larger shows its not likely to change, the power structure is too well entrenched n will remain so until there would happen to be a significant money erosion...its the smaller shows where early departures hurt the future growth of the hobby, many working folks n young potential collectors can often only attend on the last day of the shows n if they arrive n half the vendors r gone or r packing up the future of the hobby just gives up n walks away....
  7. anyone living in nyc needs at least something positive to look forward to considering how the rest of their world is all down hill....none my coins r for sale so u get to save ur money...n i knew that ur cousin vinny would love all the colors....
  8. u didnt answer the question, curious minds want know....no clue on this peace dollar or any other, i dont own any or want any unless for melt....they just like morgans u can buy all u want until theres no money left....none r rare.....
  9. "finest minds in numismatics" ???....just where mite one find those?...
  10. id ask them first just to avoid confusion n potential problems...in the past i have submitted various mint issued proof sets as one submission n it worked out but that was like 10 years ago, their policies may have changed n im not sure u can or can not get that label....its best to be on the proactive side rather than the reactive side....
  11. maybe...u dress up n they becoming for ur money...like ole teddy said..."dress poor but carry a big wallet"...or something like that...
  12. if all else fails maybe they can direct u to the Red Rooster in Harlem....wearing a suit to a coin show mite cost u more money also...
  13. natural color versus questionable color is not a chasm easily jumped across...
  14. since u havent, dont n prob wont attend a true coin show it would be diff to give u insight into the complexities, expectations n responsibilties of either attending or doing a coin show...lets just say a true coin show isnt anything like a flea market...if it was ur first coin show no one would care, if it were ur umteenth n u had established customers some mite care, if u were one of fifty dealers that decided to just skip the show yes it would be n issue...but in ur case u most likely wouldnt miss much, since i see very few if any roosters at the coin shows i attend...at the recent ana show i saw just one on the floor....
  15. everyone has their own priorities, standards, biases n boundaries as it should be....ours r just different.....i personally dont patronize nor buy from dealers that r repetitive early departers regardless of their inventories....
