Great looking coin @Copperindian

A couple weeks ago I patiently laid in wait for this one, and having her in hand, I'm glad I did.

GC shipped super fast (like always), but I wasn't able to pick her up until Wednesday when I rolled back into town.

Too bad the banks aren’t forced to drop interest rates on loans, during the times they’re closed, including weekends.

You can pay them electronically 24/7.

I assume you would also then not use your house or car on holidays either?

Johnny,
What did you tell me your address was?😉😂

One of my memories of that 'end of the market'
period is seeing Matte Proof $20's from the Garrett
Sale, I believe in March of '89 that were auctioned &
brought $80K-$90K each were almost unsalable a month
later, at the CSNS show where the market 'collapsed'
during PNG Day, and a few of them were offered at the
show for $45K, as I recall.

Lots of 'high market' / 'dead market' stories out there.

One of the seemingly fastest down markets ever seen in
coins.

And I thought losing $500 on a coin was a real catastrophe!

I remember it as the time when business lunch drinking began to fall out of favor. Many of the employees and reps who were well known for being useless after lunch due to too much drinking were let go. After that, business lunch drinking declined very noticeably, at least in the area where I worked.

This is the true tragedy!

How exactly is this the doing of the US mint?

Well they’re producing the “privy marked” silver eagles for a private company now as part of a “partnership.” They’ve opened the door wide open to chaos now. Can’t wait to see the Pornhub privy mark, because to not do so will become a first amendment violation.

They could do it with a type one standing liberty quarter.
