I hit a coin show on Saturday to try my hand at selling some of my mass produced pieces at retail prices. It could have gone better, but wasn't a total bust. @Mr-Vulcan joined me at my booth and brought some of his and @Mrs-V 's poured pieces. He sold a little silver too.
There weren't a whole lot of folks in the show, it was one of our area's slower shows, but being my first I considered that a good thing. I don't have fancy locking cases with glass tops and I didn't want too many people at my booth where I could get distracted and someone with sticky hands could end up getting a 100% discount on some of my hard earned silver.
stopped by and brought his rascally little boys, man they look like a handfull. Cute kids though :D I think his mom was with them as well. I gave Stackin some generics to make me one of his logo bars and some Lego pieces (building blocks of wealth).
Before @Mr-Vulcan and I parted ways we made some trades. I mostly gave him melt silver, but he picked out a couple of pieces from my display, I gladly parted with them. Look what I scored from the Vulcans. Man oh man, I love this "hobby".
I want this piece to be the thumbnail. It's a mermaid bar made by Vulcan. He says it's #1 😍
The back:
The edge (I love how thin this thing is, clean corners, great finish, and nice spacious field)
Mrs SbsParts had to have this turtle:
Turtle Tummy:
And these two cute little penguins made by @Mrs-V. They only weigh 1 oz.... and that's a lot of cute to fit into 1 ozt of Ag:
The Penguin Pair backside:
(Did I mention this piece is also a #1)?
So I didn't leave the show with 1000's of $$$ showered upon me by modern coin fanatics that never heard of online bullion dealers. But I still consider myself a lucky guy. My lovely wife was by my side. I got to watch my good friend Vulcan educate the public about poured silver. And I went home with some beautiful new treasures.
