Dealer setup is going on with early birds here. Many cases are still empty. Bought a few cheap coins.

We've got a really crappy table (1045).

    Did you have any problems securing your "wannabe" credentials from Laura? Or, did she have them waiting for you when you arrived?

    When Laura's talking about wannabes, she's not talking about me or us.

    Thanks. We're gonna need it with our location and with gold and silver being weak. We should probably leave tomorrow, rent a car and drive home to Dallas. We could stop by the Grand Canyon and see how far we can throw slabs into the canyon.

    That would be littering.

    Come to Vegas instead, at least you can throw your slabs down on a black jack table and have a chance of doubling up.








    Or you can just give them to me image

    Sounds like a great plan, but please let me get myself to Arizona before you start chucking them.

    What effective weight would a silver dollar slab have by the time it reached the bottom of the canyon?

    Not going to the show, but was thinking of going to the Grand Canyon and hanging around the bottom with a net...image

    If if gets to terminal velocity, the effective weight would be zero. True weight is defined by its mass times the acceleration due to gravity. Gravity would be entirely balanced by air resistance and thus effectively zero. The mass would all still be there though.

    Just curious what " cheap" coins means.

    Do mean cheap relative to what you would have paid or

    cheap meaning less than x amount of dollars....in which case I was wondering what is the value of x.



    A cheap coin to me is around $20

    Just wait till the Forum members start arriving

    on Friday. Things will begin to hum then.

    Fooled me.

    But, then again I'm dumber than coin dealers, coin doctors, coin counters, and most varieties of indoor plants.
