I hit a coin show on Saturday to try my hand at selling some of my mass produced pieces at retail prices. It could have gone better, but wasn't a total bust. @Mr-Vulcan joined me at my booth and brought some of his and @Mrs-V 's poured pieces. He sold a little silver too.
There weren't a whole lot of folks in the show, it was one of our area's slower shows, but being my first I considered that a good thing. I don't have fancy locking cases with glass tops and I didn't want too many people at my booth where I could get distracted and someone with sticky hands could end up getting a 100% discount on some of my hard earned silver.
@stackinag47 stopped by and brought his rascally little boys, man they look like a handfull. Cute kids though :D I think his mom was with them as well. I gave Stackin some generics to make me one of his logo bars and some Lego pieces (building blocks of wealth).
Before @Mr-Vulcan and I parted ways we made some trades. I mostly gave him melt silver, but he picked out a couple of pieces from my display, I gladly parted with them. Look what I scored from the Vulcans. Man oh man, I love this "hobby".
I want this piece to be the thumbnail. It's a mermaid bar made by Vulcan. He says it's #1 😍
The back:
The edge (I love how thin this thing is, clean corners, great finish, and nice spacious field)
Mrs SbsParts had to have this turtle:
Turtle Tummy:
And these two cute little penguins made by @Mrs-V. They only weigh 1 oz.... and that's a lot of cute to fit into 1 ozt of Ag:
The Penguin Pair backside:
(Did I mention this piece is also a #1)?
So I didn't leave the show with 1000's of $$$ showered upon me by modern coin fanatics that never heard of online bullion dealers. But I still consider myself a lucky guy. My lovely wife was by my side. I got to watch my good friend Vulcan educate the public about poured silver. And I went home with some beautiful new treasures.
First !
Ronaldo my friend. How are things? Glad to see you still doing SteemIt :D
Why not right? I could have posted on instagram, but they don't pay me. It adds up... I'm not getting rich, but... so far I got enough to take my wife to lunch... and maybe one of my kids, hehe. The other three gotta stay home :P
I come here almost everyday searching for articles and people that interest me. As I don't have SBDs I can't participate on raffles. Maybe one day I will ...
Beautiful mermaid. I don't like turtles because of an incident when I was very young, but it is another work of Art.
I knew there was something about the mermaid.... It took me hours to realize what my 5 year old noticed immediately. She has wings... so she says she's a fairy. I guess they're magical creatures so they can have both 👍🏼
Oh you landed a turtle. Those are awesome man. Gotta get me one.
What's up Pit?! I'd seen pics and vids and never really got the attraction with the turtles. But when I saw it in person and held it... yeah, they're really nice pieces. Then when Vulcan and I were talking about trades and makin a deal my wife suggested over my shoulder, "You're gonna get the turtle, right?" I can take a hint, hehe.
Excellent pickups brother! I am so thankful to able to go over to their house and hang out. Great people and awesome pourers! 👍🏼🍺🥓
👍🏼
Really nice pieces I love the turtle.
Much nicer in person. Unfortunately my wife confiscated it from me. I tell her that I'm stacking silver to help ensure her financial security in the future. She likes um... not having to wait for some of it :P
At least it stays in the family. ;)
Complete badassery! 👊 Very cool man!
Badassery! Excellent use of language there sir. Succinct, accurate... and with a nice flourish ;-)

What a great post bro! I really did enjoy spending time with you two and hope we can do it again before the warm weather gets here. We didn’t get rich with money but we learned a lot on how things work and for that we are richer. Thanks again @sbsparts.
Thanks my friend. Sorry we couldn't do lunch with you, but I was totally in "Zombie mode". Needed to get some sleep. I didn't even want to go through the drive through, just wanted to hit the sack, but MrsSBS made me go to DQ.
DQ you luck son of a ____! 😁
Some really cool pieces. I never been to a coin show. I bet they can get very overwhelming really quick with all the people. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for checkin out the post AG!
Man those are some fine Vulcan pieces there. The turtle is on my list
Thank you my friend. Yup, it's a keeper for sure.
Sounds like a good day to me! You definitely scored some good ones from the vulcans!
Thanks for commenting :D Yup, I'm lucky to have them so accessible. They alway have something nice available ;-)
Great post @sbsparts! That @mr-vulcan mermaid is awesome, and the turtles and penguins are so unique! The penguins look like they would be small and tough to pour!
Sounds like everyone had a great time!
Yeah, the penguins are 1 oz together. For their size, there's an impressive amount of detail..
Sounds like a blast brother! I would have loved to be there too. Great pieces man!
Thank you very much, my friend. Good times! :D
I love the turtle too!
Now, after reading all the comments, 'turtle' sounds funny.
Turtle...
You scored some nice pickups SBS! The Vulcan make truly excellent pieces!😆👍
