The casinos target the whales to attract them... do dealers target numismatic whales ?

Damn it! I was going to say that.
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

I know Longacre must be planning to get me back. I cannot wait to see what he has in store for me.

After Taft left the presidency, he lost a lot of weight. Too bad he's stuck with the "fat guy" image.

No, they should install penny multiline video slots and guarantee that there is at least one 1909-S VDB, one 1914 No "D" and one 1955 DDO in every machine.
But, you say, "The pmv's don't pay out in coins. They use the "ticket in/ticket out" technology.......................................I know!

<< <i>Actually, I was thinking of William Howard Taft ... fattest president in U.S. history ... got stuck in the White House bathtub so they had to build him a new one. Awkward.
Which? Bathtub or White House?

i would guess the attractions would be inviting them for dinner
after the show, confiding interesting tidbits of information to them
over other collectors to stroke their egos, email correspondence
and phone calls to fluff their feathers, and otherwise make them
feel like an insider which could lead to future sales since their
wallet is bursting with dollars and they are in the phase of coin
frenzy buying anything that catches their interest.
this is a hobby after all and white males will spend liberally on it
if you catch them in the right stage of discovery ;-)
LOL!
They say he had to be moved about in a fantastical contrivance of rubberized axle-fitted wheels attached to a reinforced chassis. They called it an automobile.

Is that a teleprompter in the bathtub?

He wasn't talking about your waistline, Longacre... we all know why you use that handle.
