Something I saw at the FUN show

The table next to me had a showcase with 50 stabbed coins in it with a sign in it saying

All coins in this case are over $100,000.00 or more each!



So i talked to the son and asked if I could use a site that read I have NO coins over $100,000.

    Maybe you could change your business name to Budget Area Coins to get that point across. If nothing else, the major shows would make a huge sign pointing people to your table, and if you got a better table, you could tell people you're sponsoring an entire section of the bourse floor.

    Only a fool would have a sign like that. Most thieves know how to read including shoplifters and the gangs that follow dealers and rob them on the road.

    I guess that is where the Billionaires shop. That is at least $5M in coins. Dose he have Brinks bring them into and out of the show?

    I think the sign is kind of silly let alone an advertisement to potential thieves. I wonder if he sold any.

    RCW's coins were all amazing for sure, spent a few minutes there enjoying what they had. They seem to have customers - at least they were in discussions with folks on my side of their table when I was there.
