There was a dealer that flew across the Atlantic with a 2 million dollar dime in his shirt pocket a few years back.

Having pelican cases and things of that nature tend to draw unwanted attention. I walk to the bank daily with thousands of dollars of cash to deposit in my pocket. Some people know I have it on me, but most don't. If I was carrying one of those bank bags everyone driving/walking by would know what I had.

Good luck at the meeting.

I agree with davec13 about not drawing unwanted attention.

Assuming you are a YN, you would likely look out of place with a briefcase and may look like a target.


Good call on the backpack.
Rest in Peace

Remember money belts? Imagine trying to get through airport security wearing a belt with a hidden zipper!

Lol- that would be hard to do!

The meeting when fine, the most people had suitcases but by backpack worked fine. I was able to get some good deals at the lie action, but unfortunately I was distracted and the coin I was waiting for whent up to action before I thought it did, so I didn't get it. It was a 1835 Half Cent, VF-25 ish and the starting price was only $20. AND IT DIDNT SELL! I felt stupid... Anyways, thanks for the input!

Here is another story - similar to Bobby's - concerning a 'million dollar' dime which was carried across the US in a trouser pocket:-

Just because the auction is over doesn't mean you can't get the coin for the original starting price. At the next meeting, ask the owner if you can still buy it. If you don't know the owner or who the owner is, just ask. Someone there will know. It doesn't hurt to ask.

Good luck.

Did any of your items sell? Hope you did well.

It was fine, I had fun although I did not sell any items. There were some really good deals that I didn't (but probably should have) sprung on such as a SOLD 1923 MS-64 ish Peace dollar, that sold for only $20. There was also a roll of full date Buffalo nickels that only sold for $7, and a few ancients were being auctioned for WAY less than normal.
Thanks for the help, guys!
