After he jumped around and hollered for 10 min I came clean: I seeded it in that roll to watch his reaction. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: One of my best pranks to date.

I let him keep it and th PCGS slab it was cracked from BTW so he was still quite pleased.


Ahh you never let me know how that went, I really get a kick out of hearing stuff like that. I would play a prank on someone if only I could find someone who gave a rats ass. Only one close enough is Tim, but I'm not sure if a laugh is worth that much to me. Maybe if it was my Pops though.

Wait, is there a meet-up that I don' know about?


Check out the Member's only general discussion forum, there a whole thread on it. I would go but I'm most likely working or put on a short leash when I am home, would definately be fun though. Grrrrr

Go to the Hoarding Standards 101 sticky at the top of the Copper Penny Bullion Investing forum. Read through it and then click on Rodebaugh's link in the error's section. Take a look at all the different stuff you can find in rolls, you will also notice a Wide AM section on the left. Have a look there's a lot of neat stuff in that link.

Rats, my kids play in their school bands and have too many concerts right before the school year ends for me to be able to attend this time. Is the get together always in May each year?

Thanks for sendng the link.
