We will mount your self-found coins into jewelry or special archival coin preservation holders, albums or display units.
We are your one-stop specialists for collecting supplies, jewelry mountings, display systems, albums, folders, coin holders, boxes, books, technical assistance and guidance on coin, antique and ancient art & jewelry collecting — we wrote the book on collecting Greek, Roman & Egyptian Antiquities.
===========================================================================
That’s the posting I’d put up on the local newspaper sites, if I were able to do it. I would change the items every single week, and make sure I’m in the Prospector somewhere with this info, not just the website.
Spiking the ad with extra promo power helps somewhat — we had visitors yesterday who came to Nevada City specifically to see the Chagall show, and they’re interested in maybe acquiring the Daphnis & Chloe — who wouldn’t be interested in that?
I think we’ve seen the beginning of an actual buying crowd starting to poke about in the summer weather after a long, hard winter and spring high-pollen season.
If you want something that has LASTING VALUE, it’s rare coins, but not just ANY rare coin — some are rare now but won’t be, soon, and some are quite affordable now but soon won’t be.
We’ll be having workshops on smart coin collecting and how to use trade items in bad times, which is this — we’re in Bad Times, so it might be wise to subscribe to the Bad Times Times, which — if it doesn’t already exist — should be out there somewhere.
If you want to get in on the rare coins I have in stock, and try to resell them, contact me and I’ll see what I can spare that’s attractive and has good profit-margin, but the best choice would be the rare coins YOU find in your own coin searches.
I’ve just come across a stunningly gorgeous 1925-D Lincoln Wheat-Backed Cent that I’ll be shipping out to PCGS today, along with a very lucky strike, a 1914-D in MS-64 or higher — I’m betting it’s graded at MS-66, but they’re the ones with the microscope, not I.
I’m about to put up a bunch of antique and ancient jewelry pieces in copper and silver and a few in high-karat gold — I don’t expect that anyone I know would be in a position to buy these, but they do need to get out of Trump hands, and fast — he’ll have them melted down, if he gets hold of them, and it won’t be long before the Troopers raid every house and steal all the precious stuff you might have lying about, and if you think I’m joking, remember that I have the hindsight of history, although I did fail history last semester.
Don’t be frightened by what Trump is doing, or what his henchmen are doing — just take it all in as some sort of “ASSAULT IN SLO-MO” that seems to go on and on and on, and it will, so ignore it, tune it out, forget about it.
Sure, that’s exactly what Trump wants you to do, but I assure you that it IS the best way for you to deal with Trump, otherwise you will go mad and take to the streets just to protect a Democracy that nobody seems to care about, anyway.
Just make money, plenty plenty money. Make a buck, forget about politics.
Keep your attention rooted on making a LOT of money as FAST as possible, just like farming for gold and rare drops in D2, eh?
That’s exactly what you’re doing — ignoring the attacks of the vicious Republican Beasts with one hand, and working the controls on the “trade” system with the other.
Cash in on rare coins, sell tons of Zombie Family products and produce tons of artwork to sell to raise the cash to buy your BUGOUT PACK, because ultimately, that’s what’s going to be between you and starvation and death when the shit hits the fan, and I assure you, it will.
You’ll need the ULTIMATE BUG-OUT PACK, which includes an escape path with three alternative escape routes, caches of food, water, ammo and money all along the way, plus the secret of how to carry all that with you and pass through border checks with that stuff intact on arrival.
I’ll be dedicating the Labor Day Weekend Workshop to these questions and more, plus of course we’ll work on the Movements, Meditation Techniques and the Waking State provoked by coin search and other techniques.
We’ll also delve into how to use your SuperBeacon to escape TrumpWorld and naturally we’ll have music and comedy, hopefully about something other than that asshole, Donald J. Trump.
Problem is, with someone who’s already that weird and twisted, what’s funny beyond just looking at him? I want new comedy material, and maybe Jeff Sessions or some other Trump Punching Bag will turn out to be it.
I’m indifferent to the specific comedy target. All politicians are greedy, all politicians steal, all politicians lie and all politicians care only about their own re-election.
I know that’s a broad characterization, but I’m prepared to back it up — as a former U.S. Government Remote Reader, and even without those credentials — I can easily locate and identify all the buried bodies in anybody’s back yard. Anybody’s.
And so can several dozen others who acquired the skill.
I can run through a series of addresses, numbers, locations, passwords, files — you try to hide it, and I’ll find it.
It’s even easier when there’s a red-field of energy around a thing just BECAUSE somebody tried to hide something.
When something is being hidden away, a blaring siren goes off, bells and whistles blast away, and skyrockets go off over the site. It’s screamingly obvious what the hidden thing is, but only a trained psychic will have the balls to announce what they know in public.
You’re trained to shut up about these things, to doubt them, to refuse all data that doesn’t come through the five ordinary senses.
Well, you’re wrong.
Those pieces of information can be very important, especially when assessing someone on a first date.
The idea at the gallery is to accumulate a list of people who would be interested in attending an art, antiques and U.S. coins auction sometime real, real soon.
You don’t want strangers — you want to be able to hold up a few gold coins without risking a stickup strongarm robbery, and you might consider hiring an off-duty sheriff to come into the space during the auction and the packup from it.
I’ve hired a local security force for that purpose, and they’re very easy to work with — the plan is to get good descriptions and the getaway vehicle’s license number, and call for professional backup, which is the correct drill — never give your life to protect money, it doesn’t work out in the long run.
I’ve got a nice collection of signed celebrity collectibles, including dozens of “Benchwarmer” cards, and that should bring in yet another slice of life, as it were, a different crowd with different spending habits.
You’ll soon run out of customers in a small town, and it helps to have something that appeals to out-of-towners, such as souvenirs of local stuff.
You might consider making “Name Tag” embossings and mounting them into silver bezels for folks. I charge $89 to mount an embossing in a fancy bezel, and you might use that as a general guideline for your own pricing. You won’t be able to do it for less.
Stringing pearls could be very lucrative, just as any repair would be, whether it’s watches, Persian carpets or vintage motorcycles. Think about vintage more this year — it’s very “in”.
Classes will attract people to the gallery, and they should be run by the local group members, not waiting for me to get involved in the planning, announcements and running of those classes, and they should feature those things at which our folks are good.
Unless you teach it, you won’t be able to take it with you Across the Great Divide. In short, use it or lose it.
What you can’t teach, you don’t really know.
Teaching is more than just instruction. It’s taking the student all the way across to the other side, making sure they have the skills to not only produce, but also to market and teach, the skills you are trying to communicate and pass along to others.
It ain’t as easy as you think.
Teaching takes patience, patience, patience — along with communication skills and “doing” skills, and a sense of the higher purpose behind all this shadow-show.
Take up a position, and start your training now.
Back in the 60’s I was right smack-dab in the middle of it, writing for the Free Press, publicizing MacBird and doing radio shows once or twice a week.
These days, you can have the middle, but I’ll hand you a freebie from outer space, a bit of wisdom from the Karma Bank:
“Laughter is the Best Medicine”.
Get a group of people placed in and around any crowd that’s there to hear Donald J. Trumphole, and get them laughing, relentlessly, unstoppably, every second that Trump sticks his head out in public.
Laugh him into humiliation, scorn, disrespect.
Do this everywhere, including at games where they play the National Anthem, and you’ll definitely make the news channels AND you’ll get a special tweet-storm from Donnie himself, because he’s a total sucker for a rabbit-punch.
It’s about fear of being ridiculed — the same thing that makes him cancel visits to the White House and that makes him cancel the NOKO summit before Kim Jung Un does it to him.
He’s mortally terrified of laughter, doesn’t understand it, doesn’t relate to it, having no Emotional Centrum whatever — it’s clear that he lacks empathy, but you have no idea how far down and deep into his subconscious it goes.
He’s barely humanoid, just on the verge of Neanderthalic, but not as bright, not as human as Neanderthal, and believe me, they wouldn’t tolerate anyone laughing at THEM for a single solitary moment, and neither will Trump.
He’ll have everyone who laughed at him executed.
But hey, look at it this way — you don’t want to outlast your car, your house, your dog or your teeth.
Notice how everyone speeds up when they see the Finish Line up ahead? That’s life, haw, haw haw, then you die, then you take rebirth, then you die, then you take rebirth, then you… haw, haw, haw, all this time and you still ain’t got the drill???
Be there then.
See You At The Top!!!
