    I have a real problem on my hands. The same day these six books came, I also received the highly acclaimed (by SaintGuru) Double Eagle: The Epic Story of World's Most Valuable Coin (Frankel) and the Spring ANA Heritage catalog with a huge Dahlonega offering. I am paralyzed by the trying to decide what to read first. image

    How do you slip all of this stuff by Mrs. RYK?

    Books? My book allowance is unlimited so much so that when a coin comes in the typical FedEx box, and I get the "What's that?" If I reply, "Must be a coin book," the conversation is over. image

    Conversation:

    Mrs Longacre: "How much do all of these big coin auction catalogs cost you??"

    Longacre: "They're free. Does Tiffany's charge you when they send you catalogs in the mail?"

    Mrs. Longacre: "No, but I spend money at Tiffany's, so that is why they keep sending me the catalog."

    Longacre: D'OH. [Trapped again by a veteran cross-examiner of the courtroom]. image

    So what you do is just ask her how much all the Tiffany's catalogues cost then.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    Wow. Doesn't the Akers series run $100-$200 per book for 5 or 6 books, normally? I wish I'd seen that listing!

    Mike,
    Next time she talks about Tiffany's you should tell her to be a smarter shopper. Tiffany's - the Littleton Coin of the jewelry biz...

    Yes. The Akers series was buried in the listing for the Kagin book.

    Longacre: "Well the coin Auction Houses tend to keep ou on the mailing list if you bid occaisionally, even if you aren't successful."

    Longacre: I refuse to answer that question on the grounds I might incriminate myself.
