Stuck in Boston

in U.S. Coin Forum
Our local High School band got invited to march in the London New Year’s Day Parade. We have been stuck in Boston (Bean Town) since Sunday night due to the snow and airport shutting down. Virgin – Atlantic Airways has been putting us up in the Marriot hotel next to the airport. Hopefully tonight we can leave for London.image

Can anyone post some pictures of some nice looking half dollars for me, Kennedy or early commemoratives would be great! Right now I would even settle for those “UGLY” Franklins. image

    Being only 14, the Chaperones would let us party too much image

    The folks at the airport are real nice, they loaned us one of their shuttles to take our group to the Science Museum for the afternoon image It was better then being stuck in the hotel room image

    Look on the bright side. You could be stuck in a place like Detroit.

    Here's a couple of ugly Franklins.

    That link works for me and I agree, big words for a band geek little punk. That "phony" is one of the smartest dealers in the biz. Does Caleb even have a checkbook, or does he have to wait for his allowance from mommy and daddy?

    Probably shouldn't waste his time with the little tyke who needs to sneak in just to see an R-rated movie and who my 11 y.o. daughter can beat up image

    WTCG,

    Now that you have learned how to post a link, yes I remember the thread and felt your comments were out of line for that type of a thread. I still do.

    I guess I would have to use the excuse of "youth and inexperience". What excuse would you use?

    My statement was

    << <i> Mr. Groszman sounds like he was an intelligent, thoughtful, conservative dealer that could size up a phony quickly.

    My thoughts and prays are with his family image >>

    I never said that you were a phony but if you think the shoe fits.... image

    The "Boston Toner" knows colonials very well. His work on silver is erratic. He invented the color we used to call "Too Blue". And yet his picture is not on the wall at the Post Office.

    Looking at the thread linked I would have to have to say that 14 or 40, I think many would be off put by negative comments about the dead in a death announcement post on a Coin forum.
    Hopefully the adults will also let the dead rest.

    Have a great trip!

    I agree....too many want to take any chance they can to get shots in at each other. I've learned, and tried hard, over the last few years to just let most things slip buy when the situation is something like this....just let things go.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    Boston's a great town! Enjoy it. You will always remember this trip.

    Remember how rough it was for the Pilgrim's this time of year.
