i have to share this with you brothers....not boasting, just sharing, i was fortunate enough to be able to sneak in and bid on 40 1964 Kennedy Halve Proofs...when i say sneak in, it was on or near Christmas and everybody was either drinking egg nog or trying to get ammo, i was able to bid on these gems....now this picture is actual, and out of the 40, i will SAFELY say that 37 of them would grade out at MS67...OR BETTER (MS69's?)...i kid you not, i KNOW how intense grading is, i know what to look for, i know what takes away from the higher grade, etc.

i'm not a slabber though, so....i'll just curate them as they deserve, i got these at VERY good prices...to me a good coin. SILVER coin is a work of art.......and YES, some of them are DCAMS,,,,yow!! Bless you all

sweet coinage....i was frigging wearing surgical gloves, while i had the magnifying glass out...those are the tip of the iceberg...i was buying blast white rolls em masse between 12 to 16 times, Kenns, Franklins, Washingtons. Roosie's.......i mean coins with NO dirt, no scratches....flawless...looking at them once, then curating them PROPER, inventorying every roll and them stashing them AWAY....

oh yeh, i had plenty of time to stack lead too....did the same thing, "curate them" and just stash it away, all the while wearing 10 dollar sneakers.

But i HAVE to say this...priorities, every morning i'm in that Bible for 3 hours, begging God to burn the Word of Love and Wholeness and Peace into my heart...i will NEVER allow silver to become an idol...NEVER!!!

Thank you Raymundo!!! .....wish i could show you these, they're just a delight. for the first time ever, i was THINKING of calling PCGS, and gaving the whole lot graded...slabbed, but then (shrug)...i thought .....'why?"......i'm not selling, at least NEVER on the 'white' market.......it would really be just an ego thing, and thats not wise.

(i dont know if you got my msg...i THINK i called, left a msg. just wanted to say "hey"....my boy and his mother live right up the block from you, when she summons me, and i get the nerve to head over, lets definitely have a meeting. )

you know what i REALLY want?, but its too late to score them at a sane price, i always wanted one or two rolls of GEM/BU Standing Liberty Quarters, mixed dates of course........or maybe the REAL score, a solid date roll of 1916 or 1917 SLQ's in MS condition....i KNOW, that would be a HIGH value roll...i do have several SLQ rolls, in G4/F8...and thankful for them, but it aint the same, for some reason when coins get to be good 4's, i get depressed looking at them....anyway, hope things are good . dear friend, neil
