Should coin dealers all dress alike at shows?

    Many years ago in the 80's a guy walked up to a lady dealer where I was sitting and doing business with and ask her to look at coins in he had in a cigar box. There in was a 1792 half disme., he said the coins had been in his family a long time. We both freaked out, She refused to offer on it but sent him over to one of the larger more well heeled dealers to verify/ check it out. I think the finding of it showed up in the numismatic press later. Don't ignore cigar boxes of coins!

    Or they could issue colored aprons like Home Depot....I'm not sure what the best color would be, silver, gold?

    Need the following OBW rolls to complete my 46-64 Roosevelt roll set:
    1947-P & D; 1948-D; 1949-P & S; 1950-D & S; and 1952-S.
    Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!

    I’m beginning to think this whole mustard stain shirt thing is urban legend. I’ve never seen it.
    I have seen a man take his shirt off on the bourse floor to go bare chested. He hadnt seen the gym in well probably never. Not pretty. I have seen a picture of a man taking his pants off on the bourse floor. Even less pretty

    Due to the above examples I certainly think shirts and pants should be worn simultaneously on the bourse floor.

    Well, for your sake, and all the readers here, thank God Speedos aren't popular anymore.... at least not in the USA.

    A coin show fad out here is dealers wearing military camouflage clothing.

    People who use their phones to capture pictures of others so they can laugh at them or insult them behind their back are the biggest pussilanimouses I can think of.

    pu·sil·lan·i·mous.

    [ˌpyo͞osəˈlanəməs]

    ADJECTIVE
    showing a lack of courage or determination; timid.

    Therefore, the above sentence not only has a spelling error, but also is, well, just plain incorrect.

    An adjective has to have a noun, unless you meant the "I".

    @Azurescens disagrees with spelling, apparently

    I know of a couple of professional dealers who gave up wearing suits - they found that customers assumed "high prices or stuffy attitude."
