That MadMarty.....

That MadMarty.....is a nice guy. I did a show today in the Marty's backyard (Chicago area). Marty was nice enough to give me directions to the show, bring me a cup of Starbucks coffee, and best of all, gave me one of his AU58 Franklins. Thanks Marty.

In fact I had so much fun, I'm planning to do another show in Chicago in about a month. BTW, although I am originally from IL, I now live in MN, where it is extra cold this time of year.

Oh, and on that AU58 .... don't be deceived by Marty's apparent grading skills, although it is an AU58 (PCGS was right), it does take a bit of effort to find the rubimage

    Thanks Buddy!
    In a few weeks directions to Countryside will sent in a PM. Your coins raised the bar at the crappy Itasca show! It was nice having some fresh coins at a "same crappy dealers, with the same crappy coins" show!!!image
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    Watch-out the first AU58 is free, but soon you'll want more, and then he'll have you right where he wants you.

  • I think Marty might be getting out of AU-58 coins and into sample slabs.image

    Trust me Cammy that is not going to happen (the sample slab thing). But I do see a number of 1966 DDOs in my future!image

    The show was on Sunday. When I posted at 1;10 am Monday morning, I was still thinking about Sunday.

    Hmmm ... those two GSA Morgan Marty showed my didn't seem to be AU58s, but maybe that is why Marty had them.
