Would you put this on your face?

And even if you did, would you then want that on the cover of your catalog?

    Bluemoon-man does crack me up, but Harry Bass looks like he has the front part of the Wright Brothers first airplane strapped to his face -

    Harry was an advanced collector very interested in die varieties in US gold coins. This series has not been well documented for die varieties and consequently he was continually comparing coins and looking for minor differences. By having those glasses on, he could hold coins in both hands and compare them far easier.

    I think the photo fully illustrates his enthusiasm for searching. I attended many an auction sale with him and he was always well prepared when he went into battle!!

    I firmly believe in numismatics as the world's greatest hobby, but recognize that this is a luxury and without collectors, we can all spend/melt our collections/inventories.

    I dont know why, but I half expected the latest swimsuit model when I glanced at the thread titleimage

    judging from the mans collection, that setup worked for him, so it's good enough for me

    I'll buy the magnifyer attached to the glasses routine, but I think the smaller extended magnifier sticking way out there is just showing off.

    That works for me, too, but I don't think you'd be able to see the coins very well (although you probably wouldn't care image).

    If you haven't noticed, I'm single and miserable and I've got four albums of bitching about it that I would offer as proof.

    Admit it. You just have no clue how to use the damn thing. image

    Actually, I always thought it looked pretty cool on the cover of the catalog...much cooler than him standing next to an oil well or a Republican party elephant logo. image
