Twas the day of the Big One
And all thru the forum
All are tense here while waiting
For the great message to come
The collectors all fiddled
With their slabs all agleam
Will they need to reslab them?
Will the message shatter their dreams?
All the dealers lay waiting
Rubbing their hands with delight
For new profits may be coming
If only the message is right
People still keep on guessing
Rumors fly here and there
While we all keep on waiting
For that message so fair
The Big One is coming
And all thru the land
All bursting with anticipation
For the Big Message, so grand
The conference room is being lit now
Stage hands testing the mics
Buffet tables being set now
Hope DH gets the message right
By sometime this evening
When the dust has settled down
And the message has been given
Will the world still be spinning round?
We have hyped up the Big One
On this forum my friends
And I hope we are delighted
When this wait reaches it's end
Will the message be truly
All we hope it will be?
Or will we all be disappointed
Our collections stuck in a tree?
The message it still beckons
The time comes slowly near
Tis the day of the Big One
Will we cry or will we cheer?

Re: Slabbed coins - There are some coins that LIVE within clear plastic and wear their labels with pride... while there are others that HIDE behind scratched plastic and are simply dragged along by a label. Then there are those coins that simply hang out, naked and free
