Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 04/07/2015 11:26 am Well said jbuck. I knew you saw it from that Albq IHC post we were taking jabs at last week... Sounded like they used a modified version of the 1913 lib nickel story as the basis for the con! Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 189109 Posts	Posted 04/07/2015 12:28 pm When I searched to see if anyone posted this thread, that was the other one that turned up in the list. I did appreciate the closeups of the 1964 Kennedy half dollar he used. As he wove the tale I was like, "What? Lincoln?"

MercuryDawg1 New Member United States 20 Posts	Posted 04/07/2015 1:47 pm Great show, too bad it's only 10 episodes for the first season, was hoping for at least 14 with the success of BB. I remember watching the first season of BB when it was on and no one knew what it even was when I told people to watch it. I went in to the Navy and nobody had a clue, by the time I got to my command it seems like thats all anyone watched. I remember that had a tiny first season, maybe like 7 episodes. But anyways, ya wth were they talking about the Abe half dollar? Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 189109 Posts	Posted 04/07/2015 6:04 pm It may have been a test, to see if the mark knew anything about coins. You know, saying something that is blatantly wrong to see if he cringed like we all did when he said it.

Elimist Pillar of the Community United States 632 Posts	Posted 04/09/2015 01:33 am Watching the show with my girlfriend. When he was going on about changing the design from the "Abraham" half-dollar to the Kennedy half-dollar I spoke up, "Um...actually it was the Franklin half-dollar...but whatever I guess". Five seconds pass and I hear ".........nerd." Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 189109 Posts	Posted 04/09/2015 2:08 pm It is a good show. If you liked the characters Saul and Mike from Breaking Bad, you will like this a lot.
