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

  Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

  Now look up "peruke" and pull out your Washie quarters.

  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.

  Q: When does a collector become a numismatist?
  
  
  
  A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.
  
  
  
  A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.

  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
