i met a young local woman with a doggie one night at the hot dog stand over the summer. she walks her dog at night up and down duval street because the dog has a knack for finding lost FRNs. that's just another reason why I don't search duval street for dollars. dog snout on the sidewalks is a far superior search method than OWG using declining ocular method six feet above the sidewalk. if my competition on duval street includes a moneyhound, the moneyhound wins.

With the rising price of silver I've stopped adding to my stash, for a little bit at least. I'm doing the same Helder - I cut way back on purchases in general due to the tariffs too.  |

Bugs Zincoln... sounds like a character name, doesn't it? like a wise-guy wannabe, a barnacle on the mafia's caboose. someone's annoying cousin.
i digress.
I'm being priced out of any metals purchases. maybe for the best. still, I have to turn in all of my street money eventually. I might've turned it all in months ago had I known gold was gonna rocket the way it has. well, i'll make the best of it when I'm able. not there yet.

...mrwiskers, i'd like to hear more about this BUGS zincoln @MrPink2018 ... " Zincoln" (slander) refers to the US mint's practice of producing Lincoln cents from a planchet with a zinc core, plated by a thin coat of copper (started in 1982) ... the result are coins who's surfaces frequently deteriorate, leaving a fairly ugly appearance ... hence the 'Zincoln' reference used by cent collectors who prefer the older 95% copper coin (myself included) ... ..."B U G S" (Beyond Uranus Grading Service) is my own created (non-existant) coin grading service, as a (light hearted) jab at the Third Party grading services ... strictly satirical content ..

I understand The Zincoln well enough, but you nearly had me with BUGS. now that I know, I kind of want one, a BUGS-slabbed coin. I find loads of zincolns that are potential BUGS specimens, but yours looks especially bugged. |

mrwiskers, your BUGS slabs are beyond priceless! I always get a kick out of them.
