Funny Coin Dealer Ads

savitale

Funny and coin dealer advertisements don't usually go together in my observation. I saw this one and thought I would share it. Any others out there?

That is, I would say, that ad is "cut" up from an average ad.

In the 70's and 80's, Fred Sweeney of Kansas City was a "player". After a couple of years away from the business, he ran a CoinWorld ad featuring a photo of him facing away from the camera with the headline "Fred Sweeney's Back"

I used to run this ad. Dealers seemed to like it. The public, not so much.

I remember in the 1970’s looking for the Old Romans ads in Coin World to see what silly photo he had in his ad.

The King of Cash is now in federal prison

My old business card got a poor retail response and broad dealer smiles.

I believe you're thinking of "The King of Cash #2". That is, unless you know something that I don't know about Greg Roberts.

Sorry Greg.
Bill Dominick is in federal prison. Based on 40 years of personal experience, having him as #2 is meta-symbolic

I'm wondering about the ad above Mr Eureka's... "Augmented Bust Dollars"

Nice. Was this a Halloween ad?
