Westcoin thanks for your comments. redacted I don't currently have a Thompson but plan to. I had some bootleg stuff several years ago and nearly avoided a scrape. I recently got back in legit with a M16 and a Mac10 currently in the process of doing the transfer which is running 9-10 month. I have shot a Tommy and you should when you get a chance shot your buddies cause nothing will put a bigger smile on your face than firing a full auto! Well maybe a beautiful coin.
P.S. Democrats & Liberals no offense meant in regards to Obama thats just the way I see it.

I'm sorry, TommyGun, but we very strictly stay away from political-related discussion in the coin-specific forums and for that reason I've edited your post.

No problem Dave. Years ago when I went through bartending school the first thing they told us was never discuss Sex, Politics, or Religion, so I should have know better.

TommyGun... Great to know there's another Coin and Uzi guy out there. I got a nice, new from old stock IMI 9mm (Model A) Carbine that I just broke the seal on and I also have a 1904 CORONET (LIBERTY) HEAD $20 Gold Eagle.

Gold & Guns. You can't beat them. they say you should never buy either one for an investment, but I sure wish I had bought a M16 & H&K trigger pack 6 or 7 yrs. ago They have more then doubled in price as have a few of my coins. Just like coins though not all Full Autos have gone up like that. Boy that 1904 is really rare! Did they not do any business strikes that year?

Can you share a pic? That is truly an exceptional coin. Sometimes it isn't the coin that sells itself but the time in history that it represents. I believe your coin has both qualities. Not trying to sound young or immature but that coin is awesome

I was gong to post some more pic's of coins cause I wasn't sure if I got all of them but when I was checking the links in the other post l found that this one took you to my photo bucket page with all of the pic's of the coins that I took before turning them over to the bank for catlateral on the real estate loan. So if it works right again it should show everything. I wasn't sure if I had gotten my SS Central America stuff shown. I have the long set with the (I think) 55 having just a few finer and the 57 being MS66 http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/...IMG_8068.jpg |

The word "awesome" is a staple of my vernacular diet. As are the derivatives I have picked up along the way in my over four decades on the planet such as:  Fully Awesome  awesomeness  awesome squared  awesome to the fifth power divided by Pi and multiplied by infinity <Now that is used for when something is REALLY awesome, like Tommy Gun's 18th century gold that was in the hands of a founding father...awesome...  |

Thanks for the complements. A lot of the pieces were recommendations from my broker and the New Orleans stuff were my choice. A couple of my early date pieces are better than whats in the Smithsonian's Cabinet. Since I bought through Blanchard I may have paid a little more than with a smaller dealer, but for me being in the restaurant business when I got a little extra cash in the register I would sneak it out and buy a coin with it. As I am sure you all know coins have no reporting requirements with the Feds. I could not have built up a stock portfolio like I did with my coins. Paul Thurber is my guy at Blanchard he's a great guy and I have been dealing with him for over 12 yrs. now. John Albanese is their buyer so you know anything you get form them is going to be top of the line.
Bama Blue I think someone what's you to post a pic of your 1904 CORONET (LIBERTY) HEAD $20 Gold Eagle.
