A piece of advice if you have a coin worth more than $100 in public

relayer

Make sure some part of your body is in contact with it, your eyes, your hands, your feet.

When you pick up your $100k SLQ at auction, put it in your pocket. Don't just leave it sitting on the counter.

When you have $500k in your breifcase, pick it up and carry it with you. Don't just leave it sitting on the counter.

I can't stress this enough people. Don't just leave it sitting on the counter and wander away.

Also, remember not to go swimming within thirty minutes of eating and don't run around the house holding a pair of sissors.

I find this to be VERY IMPORTANT ADVICE!!!








I'll try to remember the 500k thing.

Thanks. I had never thought of that before. That's info I can use.

I will remember your advice next time I have a $100,000 SLQ. Come to think of it, next time I have one, I will sell it ASAP, so I can buy a coin or two that I REALLY like.

As for the briefcase, I use an old hiking backpack when I am carrying $500,000 (or more) around. Everyone thinks it full of old granola crumbs and silly maps. Little do they know...

Now, the swimming adage is an old wives' tale, but I do respect the scissors rule. It's hard to grade coins with blood and jelly oozing out of your eye.

Catch22

Whatever happened with the auction lot that the guy left on the counter? Did it ever show up? I remember reading a little about this a few weeks ago, but never followed up.

UncleWiggly

Are you saying some people have purchased a 100K plus item and picked it up and then put it back down on the counter and walk away? Or is it put on a counter by the auction people awaiting pick up?

We have jelly in our eyes???

Yes, it's called vitreous.

RYK

You bet! Haven't you seen the movie, Shrek?

(Ask Barry about the jelly--he knows much more about it than I do.)

RYK

Darn! Barry beat me to the punch.

Anyway, this title of this thread is misleading. I thought we were talking about $100 coins. I usually carry coins valued between $100 and $99,999 in one of my three slab caddies.

That is why you should keep your coins in slab caddys!

Oh oh...

I'm presuming there's s story behind relayer's advice (at least there'd BETTER be...)..

stujoe

I dunno about relayer's stories but I am petty sure there are probably stories behind Barry's eye jelly popst...but I would rather not hear them.

Option1

My table backed up to the dealer who lost the bag full 500K. He put the bag on a chair behind another bag. The thief waked staight back between two dealer each facing different directions. The owner wasn't there at the time of the theft. Sad I'm glad I don't have that inventory to worry about.

A few more words of caution...


1) You don't tug on Superman's cape
2) You don't spit into the wind
3) You don't pull the mask of the old Lone Ranger
4) And you don't mess around with Jim
