Ajaan at work on a Sunday

It's always nice to meet someone in person who ends up being as nice as they seemed to be image

Ajaan and I had a lot of fun, I bought some coins I needed and took these shots:

The first is as Ajaan sees a customer approching (happy, confident)
image

The second is after he has had to explain for 20 minutes why he can't sell his coins for less than he paid (bewildered, punchy)
The good news is that he sold several lightside slabbed coins to the fine customer... Oh yes, Too-Tawl was in attendence
image

Yours truly..

Bought this nice 1971 SA Mint set from Ajaan

The 1 Rand is starting to turn a Royal Purple...image

I Enjoyed our get-together-hope to meet other forum members as time passes byimage

    Do not confuse a prematurely grey beard with old. The hair, I hope you notice, is full and dark and the eyes have that youthful glintimage

    He is old. image

    Had a great time with Laurent. Very nice distinguished fellow. Not a coin geek like aethelred. image The show was verrrrrry slow. Many of the regular dealers weren't there. The most coins that past out of my hands were those given to some kids who previously hadn't collected foreign coins. Just hope Laurent doesn't develop mad cow disease. image

    I'll put $20 on Kelly against either ajaan or Aethelred.

    Nice pics Laurent. I can't believe ajaan let you take a pic behind the table, you could have accidently shown the NYC phone book he is sitting on. image

    All men sitting down are approximately the same height-Ajaan had a lot of chairs around him so no one did much standing. His innate aura is one of height and that takes the place of the phone book.imageimage (which we just didn't have anyway)
