If you are attending the FUN Show and you are really into roosies/mercs or stupid color coins, plan to join OnlyRoosies, greattoning, myself and several other color nuts for breakfast on Friday at 0900.

Right now our plan is to meet outside at the main entrance of the Peabody Hotel at 0900 and then move inside and chow down.

If you have rainbow roosies/mercs/etc., please bring them along to "brag/show off." Look forward to seeing some great rainbow coins and hearing some incredible "whopper rainbow" stories!!!!

    Hey guys,

    I will attend the breakfast on Friday. By the way, who's paying? With the inclusion of the 2003 coins, I have jumped within the top 5 spots.

    Given Nick's quick wit and fat wallet, he should pay...or, Wondercoin could sell one of his two dozen MS 66 Red 1909 S VDB cents and treat us to a real dinner.......that said, so there is no confusion, you do not have to be a color nut to do breakfast --- only must love coins!!!image

    Hey guys. I really look forward to getting together with everyone. I have been a bit slow in RSVP'ing anything, because of my situation with Justin (my 11 year old). It has been very touch and go whether he is going or not, as he has been getting over a tough bout with the flu and my concern of not "running him ragged". Even with a flight scheduled to leave first thing in the morning, I am not sure if he can make it at all (tonight Mom is keeping a close eye on him). I'll have my laptop and know a great deal more about everything tomorrow night image

    Some gizzards sure sound good about now... I grew up on chicken gizzards mixed in with my
    pasta and meat sauce. Danny, It will be a pleasure meeting you.

    HELLO MY FRIENDS:
    I was forced to cancel my trip to the FUN Show at the last minute.
    Two seperate family emergencies requiring hospitalization caused me to
    evaluate my priorities.
    Sorry I missed meeting you guys.
    It is my hope that we all can meet soon, at another location.

    Copied from another string:

    Roosie breakfast went well... We met at the Peabody (6) and showed off stuff and told stories....Some of them were even true..... IMHO, the highlite was rainbowroosie showing off his rainbow set of roosie proofs (1950-64) and a Southern gentleman showing us his entire toned MS set....buying roosies was tough; I bought several nice raw coins, but the auction saw stiff competition for PCGS 67s with Nick usually the underbidder to Dave....I bought the 50D for a "very stiff" price -- $2357 -- not a small sum for a 67FB coin....that said, it ain't your average MS 67 coin....Nick will probably use it as his icon coin -- same way he "borrowed" my 54P as his original icon!!!!! ....Yes, Nick bought dinner at Vito's, truly the highlite of the entire FUN Show!!!image

    PCGS was NOT MAKING COINS at the show -- grading was "very strict," arguably bordering on "harsh." Two very, very nice 67s did not upgrade -- sorry Craig!

    There were many nice rainbow dollars at the show, usually at very stiff prices....the best ones were selling high. I saw a common date S mint Morgan in 66 trade at $2600 dealer to dealer....Stupidly toned coins were going for stupid money....Two examples: I bought a 45S war nickle PCGS 67 at $900; sold a 1958D MS 64 FBL Frankie at $1300 -- yes, a 64. These two coins were two of the finest toned coins I have ever seen...was the price too high or correct?? I can only tell you that both the buyer and the seller in each transaction was very happy...image

    Bill, I remember that 64 Frankie........and what you paid for the coin last year at FUN. I own a quarter (MS67) out of the same Mint Set that looks the same.....so for those that didn't see Bill's $$$$$ MS64 Frankie, imagine this two sided toning on a Frankie! Sweeeeet.

    I was at the Peabody Friday morning, but didn't have access to a computer, missed the part about meeting outside the main entrance, and was inside before 9 a.m. I didn't really know who to look for, so I left around 9:15 to watch the Heriatge auction. Sorry I missed you guys. Maybe next year in Ft. Lauderdale.
