I searched through a couple thousand listings on eBay trying to Cherrypick anything that had a good photo...and good photos were few and far between. It's been a long time since I surfed through eBay! No, I did not find anything.


I took a nap on the beach late this morning too! image

    Well, I pulled out my two 44 specials and put on my poncho and sombrero and looked over
    some Silver Dollars I have <<<<<<(coin related) image then went outside and yelled yehah yehah
    and shot the 44's into the air (where the trajectory would land in a safe area) then got aressted
    and was brought before a Judge (kinda wierd being Saturday) where the Judge asked "what do
    I have to say for yourself" and I said that "the CU site was down for mainanance" and the Judge
    said "Case Dismissed"

    Well maybe not exactly

    Looked over my newps that were delivered this morning -
    plus my photos arrived - I flipped thru the latest Numismatist.

    Double checked the closing prices of coins I was tracking on eBay;
    a friend was hot for a coin I really liked - but he had 1st dibs on it.

    So, Stealer, did you win that 1912 Half - ex: Queller ?

    Made a round trip to Mars to retrieve the 1909 VDB cent from the Rover!

    I replaced it with a plain 1909 cent, as you can see by examining the reverse. Oh, wait . . . image

    It was awful. I went ATS and there was nothing going on there. I expected to at least find some wailing about how this forum was down for maintenance.

    Watched a documentary on YouTube. Then I fell asleep. Woke up this morning and had breakfast, opened the shop, bought 20.25 ounces of silver at spot price x .95.
    Shortly thereafter, sold a 1975, and 2011 Uncirculated mint set at grey sheet "bid" to another dealer.
    A friend stopped by so we went to the casino, where I wasted an hour or two, but found the place where the monthly shows are now held. After leaving there and the Hotel next door (that's where the monthly coin shows moved to), we headed to a place called Mo Fish on the other side of Council Bluffs, off of Interstate 29 North, where I ordered carp and walleye. On the way home saw a venue set up where the Beach Boys are playing in concert. There were thousands of people already gathered.
    Got back home and ate the fish which was "take-out", then ended an auction on eBay because there was an item "not as described". Did yesterday's dishes, mopped a floor and took trash out. Made a pot of coffee and logged in here to see what I missed.
    Oh I called my daughters to see how they were doing, too. I need to do laundry. Would prefer to hire out some things. Got milk ?
