    "The shield rivets are flatly struck on my Standing Liberty."

    (If a collector said that to another collector on the bourse, he'd be offered some sympathy.
    If a homeless person said it at a bus-stop to non-collectors, they'd quietly assume
    he's schizophrenic.)

    "I finally pulled the trigger on that Barber, and then --- BOOM --- came back in a body bag."

    . . . on second thought, strike that one. It could appear outside of numismatics,
    on an episode of "CSI," for example.

It's not like I've never held busts in my hands before. I hold mine all the time but they sure don't look like this! ( oh I could keep going ) image
