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 ...

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.

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

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 👍🏼

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..

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.
