Half of you will get this....the other half won't!
B Max Mehl?
Good job!
Are you still alive?
I am in the 1/2 that doesn't get it?
Dear Max,
Are you now reincarnated, posting as a 19 year old on pcgs coins board and pumping the 'gram for biz?
Just wondering.
Died in 1957....his relative Mark Feld, is still around though!
Still don't get it,,,,,,, why are we asking a dead guy?
..."have you lost your virginity yet?"
The new forum software has immense ability.
A nineteen-year-old whippersnapper? I was a dealer when I was still wearing breeches (at the the ripe old age of 12!).

Dear Max: what did you do with the Certificate of Authenticity for my 1804$1?
Too bad he did not get into the guitar business with a famous partner, or we could have had the Mehl Gibson Guitar!

Quality shitpost
Ah, I was awaiting the day that modern lingo would make an entrance on this forum.
Dear Max, you were a great marketer, I own some of your old catalogues, but what are you doing to "give back" to the Hobby, or is it just a source of income for you??
You may find Mehl's storefront to be of interest.
Would you recommend that a 19-year old coin dealer manufacture an advertising token?

If he could carry a tune we would have had Mehl Torme and the Mehltones.
I would, especially it was as interesting and memorable as Max's.
I also like the one Abe Kosoff had in 1939 for the ANA Convention with the New York World's Fair Trylon and Perisphere incorporated into his name.
Mehl Torme??? You just gave away your age. Still driving?

This post and the likes / lol responses just show that the lingo falls on deaf ears for those who are even only a few years older than the millennials. @Coinstartled, he was complimenting you on the apparent sarcasm of your post.
I can dig it.
I like his storefront.... shows class..... Cheers, RickO
Dear Max:
Why did you under grade coins when buying them and over grade when selling?
Thanks!

Being so old do you have any trouble with piles? of old cents, etc.?
