After the October show I'm looking to start bagging up world silver that I've been ignoring and trying to get a preference. I normally make 1000g(kilo) bags for US silver, but I'm thinking about smaller size "below spot" bags so more people can get them. Is 10oz ASW a better option? 1oz and smaller will be the normal "at spot" rate. The bigger the bag the more the discount, up to 30% under spot...similar to how I do US silver.

Chime in and I'll do what I can to accommodate.

🤷‍♂️

Our habitual bad driver is back. Comes in the wrong way on a one way as the parade is getting ready to start. People scatter to get out of his way so they don't get run over. Proceeds to park to watch the parade. Private parking lot, and a customer of mine got blocked in by him and he proceeds to ask why I am this way by making him leave. Maybe I'm not the problem buddy. 😂

With the local festival going on, my parking lot is closed. Do NOT move the city traffic cones to get in...these are for safety. There's free city parking all around my building so lots of options for parking.

I have a customer looking for a used but good condition Libertad Album if anyone has a few lying around. On that note the empty Canada coin type books are pretty sought after as well.

Still critically low on silver...but there are definitely some good options. Currently out of coin silver, sorry.

Got all the Indian Cents added to my bulk bin...should have the Liberty(V) nickels and Buffalo Nickels added by the end of the weekend. Let the treasure hunt begin.

As far as the Indian Cents go, I saw lots of full Liberty and also some Copper-Nickel ones(1859-1864T1)

For those out of the area, sorry I don't ship but if you have to visit Iowa to check it off a list, I can be that stop and save you the hassle of seeing the rest of the state. 😆

Now for something less controversial. On my days off I like to annoy my neighbors. Get down to Lou James & Company this week for lunch...and follow them for their weekly lunch menu. The meatball hoagie I swear I got a 2 foot cheese pull off that sandwich. The soup I was a little nervous about because I'm not a fan of sausage in a soup. They forced me to try it and yeah...they knew I'd like it. So creamy good. Like down to you bones or stick to your ribs good. I'm fat, I dont lie about food. 😆
