Secret Meeting of Coin Dealers

If you were to have a secret meeting of coin dealers to discuss certified coins, pricing and rumor mill, who would you want to be there and what do you think they would say?

...........and what do you think they would say?

I think that they would say:

"Hey guys, how much longer do you think that these collectors are going to believe us that cameo modern coins are rare? I think that they are finally catching on. What should we do?"

"Oh, I know, let's start certifying ----- get this ------ certified coins!!!"

"No, no, no you pin head. NGC is already doing that by certifing GSA dollars. They hold the patent on the slab-in-a-slab."

"Hmmmm.....Oh, oh, oh, I got it! I got it! How about if we say that we are going to form a coin doctor posse to catch all of the bad guys. That way they will think that we are the good guys and maybe they will buy some coins from us."

"Brilliant idea! Let's do it. Okay, now someone go on the PCGS forum and start a thread about this."

I'd want an agent of the FTC to be there and I'd expect him to say "I'm your friend and I'm here to help you."

Don't want to be there, but want to know location. Nuke it, save the Collector's a lot of trouble.

At one point in the conversation...

Dealer (you know) "what are we going to do about the SS Republic?"

Dealer (I know) "Let's clean them and get them certified."

Dealer (all know) " Which service?"

Dealer (no one knows) "Send them to PCGS".

Dealer (I know) "No to NGC."

Dealer (no one knows) "PCGS".

Dealer (I know) "NGC."

Dealer (no one knows) "NGC".

Dealer (I know) "PCGS."

Dealer (all know) " Ok it's settled"

"How can we do everything possible to leverage the interest in state quarters to encourage as many new collectors as possible?"

Call it naive.......but accomplishing this would significantly increase the income of just about every dealer.

I think they would say, 'we really need to form a useless coin doctoring posse to convince the public that we are the good guys' in the hobby.

Would it matter? I don't think any collectors would ever hear what was really said anyway...

However, if I had to pick, I would want Bowers there.

NewmisED · August 29, 2003 2:58AM

.......and what do you think they would say?

"Buon Giorno Don Halletti, I bring you dees gifts...."
"Why are youz smillin' like dat? Am I a clown? Am I here to freakin' amuze youz?"
"Signore Halletti, I mean nos disrespect. I apolo........" .BANG! BANG! BANG!"
"Okay Feldilini, now get me a shovel. Were goin' for a drive to da desert."

Meeting Moderator: OK, OK, everybody settle down. I have a suggestion to begin the meeting that I'd like to table. We seem to be in a state of really strong sales. What if............we all start being a bit more congenial and respectful to the collector side of the equation?? Maybe we can stretch this "HOT MARKET" out even longer!!

........Thunk!!!!!! The sound resonates throughout the meeting hall as the cup richochets of the speaker's head and he collapses behind the table. The gentleman to his right rises and makes his way to the podium.

#2 Banana: OK, OK, everybody settle down.....................

Nah, that would blow his cover as a government agent and he'd never be heard from again.
