Guess they don't set the resort bar too high in those neck of the woods.

<< <i>I was at that show last year and one question immediately comes to mind...that hotel formerly known as the Holiday Inn is now a "resort"?

We cannot set the bar too high. Short people would never get a drink

Hey, not many resorts have convenient access to I-80!
BTW, the CoCo Key "resorts" are a chain of indoor water parks. We have one near us in balmy Waterbury, CT.
He brought it to me weeks ago along with a token book. I asked him what he wanted me to do. He said, "I trust you, so can you help me ? " I joined NGC thinking I should send it to them, but it was sort of a hassle not knowing which form to use, plus I got so busy with other things, I opted to have the ANACS guy do it for me.
As an aside, I've been trying to get this young numismatist and his mom to join the coin club for a few months and it's a seemingly constant "hit and miss" for them.
Keep in mind, Omaha is no Long Beach , Baltimore or Coinfest, but we had a pretty good turnout at the show.
At the end of the show, there was a drawing for the grand prize given away by Dave up at DSS Coin and Bullion (A tenth ounce gold American Eagle) Thanks, where due. Guess who won ? (Ryan, the same kid who cherrypicked the coin below). I wanted to say "You Suck, kid" but am afraid it may offend him. How would the boards handle this ?

"J.B. Schiller conterstamp on face of U.S. 1860 Indian head cent. Large X counterstamp over ONE on reverse of cent. Plain edge. Only 8 known (Brunk 35777)
There are also scrip notes of this issuer, dated April 3, 1862, payable in Confederate currency, in 25 and 50-cent denomimations. New Orleans was under Union seige at that time; it fell to Admiral Farragut's forces May 1, 1862. The token is thought to represent 10 cents in value.
John B. Schiller, an importer of spirits, also became the proprietor of the Sazerac Coffee House in 1859. This saloon at 16 Royal Street was in the Merchants Exchange building and became the favorite watering hole of the local business community. As an importer, Schiller was the agent for Sazerac-de-Forge et Fils of Limoges, France, and served the Sazerac brand of cognac exclusively.
Schiller invented the 'Sazerac', or brandy co_ktail, the appetizer that made New Orleans famous.
Bill Manning, in "J.B. Schiller Counterstamp" (TAMS Journal, Feb. 1978), advanced the theory that other denominations may exist, counterstamped V, XV, or XX, but this was never substantiated by the find of any specimens.
The Schiller counterstamp was first reported in TAMS Journal for March 1963 by R Lindesmith in a letter to editor Russ Rulau. It was written up by Rulau in Coin World in 1963 also.
It is, properly, a siege piece and thus even more important. "
