I asked to see coins , not wine bottles, airplanes or plates of food.

You are a cool guy. We have the same taste in show reports.
I talked to 4 strangers and 3 said it was their first show
I like her reports. What is it you want her to do, take a picture of every single coin there?

No, don't be ridulous. However, do you really care to see a photo of what she has for dinner?
Let's get back to my original request.

Wow, harsh. Guess all I can say to that is obviously my show reports aren't for everyone.
Ricko, look for my report full of wine, food - AND coins sometime tomorrow (no airplanes this time)!
Yorkshire and KK, feel free not to read it.

Actually, yes I do. One of the funnest things we do when we are traveling is go to cool restaurants, and Charmy's taste is top notch in that category. I also enjoy the shots of the ugly mugs contrasted with the cute lady from Anacs. I was not trying to be "ridulous"!
<< <i> I didn't take it because it was not from a widow. >>
Good one!
I opened my CC bill this yesterday and went white.
For the kid, I bought 1 worked over chinese cash coin of dubious authenticity for $5. That, and I officially have an unnamed white whale.
I did manage to run across this, which summed up, not the feeling of moderns shown on the floor, but some of the classics shown on the floor. The moderns were on display, and I guess they aren't old enough to look beat. The end of the show classics were not presented well. I guess it is hard to present a common morgan in common grade with eye unappealing toning.... (these are the coins of the working man.... (perhaps another registry set "class")). And perhaps this is where LS was coming from in a recent HT thread here talking about dreck and grading better blindfolded. If finding a classic in stellar condition was easy, they'd be cheaper and we'd all have them. They'd be more like ..... moderns. eh? (previous comments re: past price paid, wanting to ask high for various unknown reasons, etc. also to be taken into account again.)
(permission was granted to take the photo)
Oh, and I did notice the crowd here seems so much more upscale...
<< <i>I sold well into the six figures and received an $8,000 offer for the coin that was only supposed to be worth $4,000. I didn't take it because it was not from a widow.

There was another dealer at the bitter end. Someone wanted to unload a half ounce Mexico Libertad at melt. No bite unless it's $20 back because their wholesaler isn't open until monday.
With the PM deals I see on ebay during the weekends, there must be a way to hedge over the weekend. Even if not and it's pre-hedged Friday, it would seem the volume of business on weekend would make for an opportunity for a hedger to have Sat and Sun hours.

Your reports are AWESOME and there are plenty of coins. I find the 'mugshot' photos to be VERY interesting, b/c it puts faces to the names that I'll never see otherwise. Keep up the good work!!
Sometimes, it’s better to be LUCKY than good. 🍀 🍺👍

It's the internet, some folks like wine and other like to whine!
The reports are fun and it's nice to see lots of pictures.

No grudge. It is funny to me that AMRC uses his $8k offer to refute TDN's $4k estimate while maintaining a ridiculous $28k asking price (yes I know, make an offer).
I think it is unethical to lament someone being buried in a coin and then try to bury someone else in it as an exit strategy for a client. Sorry if you disagree.

....back to Long Beach .... always been one of my favorite shows. Sorry that I missed this one.
<< <i>Rick,

I enjoy Charmy's reports. It is easy enough to skip past pictures if I'm not interested in them.

Her reports are not for you, but maybe you should just keep it to yourself. Do not open the thread if it bothers you that much. I appreciate any report from the shows regardless of the content. You are asking for someone to spend time and effort to post a report, but you want it tailored to your likes. Kind of selfish if you ask me. Accept what you get and disregard what you do not like. Just say'in

I love 'em too!, food, booze, planes, people and all.
You may have better luck posting anti coal comments in the Peabody Energy forum.
Anybody want I post a coin they bought?
Maybe this thread can finally start going in the right direction.

Charmy is one of the best dealers I have worked with. I purchased a coin that ended up at the wrong address. I went to that locations PO and talked to the Manager. Said they would talk to the carrier. The next day I get a call from the Manager saying she had my coin. Super A++ ending.
Charmy still gave me a discount on my next coin due to my efforts in trying to find the coin I had purchased.
How many dealers would do that?
I think it's ok not to care about the social scene, just as it's fine to enjoy hearing about the social scene too. But, the OP was specifically asking about coins. Not unreasonable, IMO.
I actually like Charmy's posts, although I know little of her as a dealer. And, I enjoy the social scene too.

I'm not aware of the circumstances around the $4000 number but he offered $500k cash for the 53 MPLs
Serious? He would have paid if accepted.
