All this talk about Gold Kennedys--Where is Russ?

AKFlyer

I went a couple or three years without reading this forum.

What happened to Russ? How come he doesn't weigh in on the Kennedy coins? He always had such succinct, 'pithy' posts.

russ is selling paperweights and glassware now

no clue if he is still into coins or not

topstuf

Coins may have pithed him off.

Zoins

It's not the accent hair variety

Too bad though. I always enjoyed his posts.

When the grading services wouldn't recognize his Kennedy "Dot Heads" as a variety (he had the market cornered on them btw) he faded into obscurity.

I hate to admit it but I miss Russ as well, he knows his stuff in the Kennedy world.

Why would you hate to admit it? He's a good guy and one of the better posters here, ever.

He still does a huge coin business as well as being one of the world's foremost experts and dealers of ornate glass paperweights, and yes, even the Chinese are counterfeiting them.

Meltdown

I heard he "met, outed, and ran away with a paperweight customer"

Russ, while absent from the forums on a regular basis, will NEVER be obscure!

The "GodFather of Accented Hair Kennedy's" cannot ever be considered "obscure"!

I heard he was actively campaigning and planting yard signs for various Democrat politicians this year.

silverpop

yeah right try again clw

Might as well ask "Where is millefiori ?"

Good lord, my login still works here.

I heard Russ once shot a man, just for snorin'.

streeter

Russ has a bear skin rug in front of the fireplace.
The bear is still alive.

It's just afraid to move.

But that was during his first lecture on the accented hair Kennedy. So it was very understandable.

If anyone has a sense of humor and timing…. it's Russ. I had a few "misunderstandings", but he is one of the nicest guys I never met. Uber helpful any time I asked.

derryb

I suspect Russ is selling the new JFKs as paper weights.

He still has a web site, but the only half dollar for sale is a Walking Liberty LINK!!!
