Winston has really outdone himself this FUN show...I won't give any details, but he had to have the best FUN show anyone's ever had, and he's only have way through! Congrats bud, hopefully you'll show off your finds here. I don't know if I have the power to give you the title of YOU SUCK grand master , but I doubt anyone will disagree with me when they see what you've found. Enjoy your new sports car or trip around the world or whatever you buy with your proceeds, all I ask is that you TEACH ME YOUR WAYS!!!



Congrats again, you deserve it!

    << <i>I second suck that honor bestowed upon Stone. He has doen the impossble with his incredible find...and the Bust dime community is in shock and awe! >>




    You only know of ONE of the THREE finds. The two he made yesterday and today are actually rarer than the first! I won't divulge his finds, as it would ruin his fun!

    I had dinner with him, Dimeman and 5 others... GOOD TIMES. I think he has found a few nice toys this past year, not just at FUN. Maybe he will chime in?

    I just got done with the show and picked up another cool Bust Dime piece this morning.
    The show was lots of fun. Got to meet a lot of great people and talk coins non-stop from Wednesday to Saturday PM.

    I'm at the airport and about to board the plane now to see my Grandparents in South Florida.
    I will probably be too busy to post a show report until later this week. But stay tuned, it should be good image

    I suppose. But luck obviously has something to do with it too! Lol

    Very Zen!

    I think I mentioned above that I will be pretty much away from a Computer until Wed/Thurs to give my "Much Anticipated FUN Show Report"
    I also had Todd (Blu62) photograph my three biggest coins from the show, and once I have those I will add them to my show report.

    I guess I should point out that I only bought Bust Dimes at the show, so that narrows it down a bit

    I wish i would have accidents like that. Then again i would have to be in the right places for them to happen. One day maybe i will start going to shows.

    More good luck to you Winston!

    Paul,

    Good seeing you at Breakfast on Thursday - don't think
    I saw you again after that though. Considering what you
    went thru this year - you looked great !!

    Winston was a riot to be around this week - it was like
    Christmas every day - new finds - unique die pair - what
    can I say - Mr & Mrs Zack have now retired - and are living off
    Winston's valuable finds.
