Toward a Bleak & Hopeless Future

Look at the letters beneath the name “Caesar Rodney” and compare with p. 249 Strike it Rich with Pocket Change — “too rare to price”!!!

Just TRY to find that Caesar Rodney counter-clash anywhere for any price, then make an offer! Estimates vary, but it’s in six figures at least, and YOU CAN DO IT, TOO!!!

You’ll need faith, hope, and a good relationship with a SuperBeacon, Matrix & Ammy.

The Caesar Rodney is not the only coin I found with my SuperBeacon Array. I have a dozen 1909s VDB Lincoln Cents in fabulous condition, and a bunch more self-found coins that could fetch upwards of $10,000 apiece.

I’m not offering them. I’m using them to show that it CAN be done. I have no interest in money, except to sort it and collect the rarities.

You don’t have that leisure.

You’ll need money, and plenty of it, to get out of the vise-like grip of Trumpism.

I’ll bet you’re plumb tuckered, totally out of energy to fight against Trumpism, and that exhaustion is what the NPD counts on to make his case and drive home the misery.

It doesn’t take a news program to get you all depressed, because everyone on the street is talking about how bad things are, and at the same time, they’re afraid to mention the word “Trump” for fear of retaliation from both or all sides.

For Trump, Against Trump, Indifferent to Trump — these are positions that are all now very dangerous to take. Best say nothing, put your head down, look at the floor and put your hands in your pockets.

Tremble and be thou afraid. O ye hypocrites, ye generation of vipers — a generation of vipers is not a group of milleniums, and it probably should read “spawn” of vipers, to make sense in modern English.

Children of the Serpent.

Jeez, you’d think they’d send the boss, but no — just the kids.

The constant assault on your personal freedoms and on Democracy itself takes its toll on the honest citizens who are just trying to get along in peace and harmony with all the others on this planet, including plants and animals. There just isn’t room for honest people anymore.

Once you understand that the creeps in control will BE in control for the next fifty years, and you realize that it is a solid fact that YOU ARE GOING TO LOSE YOUR FREEDOM, you’ll make adjustments, just as the Russians did under Stalin, and the Germans under Hitler, and the Italians under Mussolini, and the… but you get the idea.

America will no longer be a Democracy, but that’s gotta be okay, because there’s nothing you can do about that. You’re just a little creature trying to avoid getting crushed by the steamrollers on your street. Continue reading

The Tiny Store Store

 

Imagine YOUR very own Pegboard Tiny Shop on display here! Do it today!!!

If you’re looking for a fast path to telepathy and astral projection, you can’t get faster than Coinology.

The Coinology Search and Rescue Mission is unbeatable as a fast path.

That having been said, there are a number of related fast path avenues open to you, and what’s more, not only are they spiritually uplifting and dynamically demanding of Essence Participation, but they pay off in cold, hard cash.

Cold and hard because it comes to you mostly in coins.

Nobody wants to get stuck with pocket change. That’s a habit you’ll have to break real soon, if you intend to succeed beyond your wildest dreams, which you can and should do, as I said, real soon.

You don’t have much time left to do this work. Trump will close down any and every possible spiritual path other than what serves his political ambitions.

If you knew how limited your work-time in this world was, you’d be burning the midnight oil to get through it just in the nick of time.

Cutting it close? Continue reading

Coinology Sales Tools

You can sell Error Coins, too — this Pooping Horse is worth megabucks!!!

“These are the exact same U.S. quarters that you have now in your pocket or purse.” — at least, that’s what you tell them when they come through the gallery or studio door.

Clear your throat, and continue:

“The only difference between your pocket change and my coins is the quality of the coin. Mine have no scratches, no dents, no dings, no stains and no wear and tear.

“You’re looking at the result of hundreds of hours, which is the time I spend finding the good coins, the ones that aren’t worn down or scratched or dented or stained or otherwise made useless for jewelry.

“You can have any grade of coin for spending money, but with jewelry, it has to be perfect, absolutely flawless, like a diamond.

You wait for a moment to get the effect, then continue:

“If you’ll take out your change for a moment and put it on this velvet pad,” (indicating the velvet search pad on the nearby table or countertop) “I’ll show you the difference.”

Do so.

If they exclaim, “Wow!!!” when they see your Perfect Coins, it means that they’re impressed by this display and they’ll probably be willing to buy the jewelry.

You’ve made a sale, but you’ll have to start somewhere, and it might as well be with showing them through your collection of 100 of my Pegboard Perfect coins, meaning that those are what you should be putting out there when YOU’RE doing the search, at that level and grade, and not a whit below that grade.

When you know how, you can search your own. Continue reading

PLS That!!!

These days, when I use the phrase “PLS”, I’m generally asking someone to DO something about something — for instance, a pictorial coin.

“PLS that!” means to actively pursue the coin’s symbolism through the mechanism of PLS inquiry — “What do you see?”, “What do you know?” and “Tell me the story”, all of which are of course the standard PLS technique.

On the off-chance that you don’t know about PLS, it refers to a past-life memory restoration technique called a “Past Life Survey”, and we’ll talk more about this later on as we get deeper and deeper into Coinology.

My concept for a Coinology Booth or Kiosk is very, very simple, and I’d tend to keep it simple.

There’s a mannequin bust on a tabletop, where you’ll also see a flat glass-topped display case, next to which will be a standing framed Pegboard.

I myself would tend to put the frame into a fancy portable painting easel, and lock it down in there with the crossbar, thus allowing easy access.

With a firmly placed Pegboard, the customer can feel free to just yank the thing off the hook without worrying about dumping the whole mess onto the floor for a horrible game of “100 items pickup”.

I want my prices totally dummy-proof.

I’m not going to be there every day. My stuff’s gotta be priced so anyone can get it.

That means simple, easy to remember prices, almost disregarding the merchandise. On the low end, it might be unfair to the small buyer, but on the higher end, there’s a lot of stuff going out the door for very little profit, if any, except in the artwork, where the markup is a LOT higher.

By the way, if you sell any of my art or the artwork of any member of the Grass Valley Graphics Group, you DO get a commission, which will vary depending on the piece.

I have some paintings that cost me $1,000 or more to frame. Those are gigantic hall-sized paintings, architectural scale, and the 6″ wide carved hardwood frames were made to museum specs back in 1987 and 1988 for a New York gallery show.

So, okay, keep it simple, right?

Right.

Ten bucks is the number I have in mind for very very high-grade pictorial quarters — far less than the average of $50 for the same coin graded and slabbed, or is it slabbed & graded???

Same coin in a sterling silver bezel, $39.95.

Put two of those into sterling silver coin-edge bezel and you pay $69.95.

Exact same coin but in a fancy handmade rope-edge bezel, it’s gonna be $89.95. Double that order in a pair of sterling silver fancy bezel earrings and it comes out at a mere $139.95, and the whole set sells for just $189.95, a whale of a saving!

Speaking of whales, I have some legal ivory beads for sale in a necklace that also sports some Ashanti gold weights, on sale now at only $495.95, guaranteed authentic & rare, but forget about those things — they’re part of the “extras” you’ll want to place around your standard fare at standard prices.

So what else we got??? Continue reading

What We Offer

Exceptionally rare pump-handle in window DDR of the Homestead quarter. This will bring about $500-$700 on eBay if you manage to locate one and get it slabbed & graded.

I’m going to give you a short and limited rundown of the offerings in our necklace & earring department today — you can see it all at the gallery, and there are EIGHT coin merchants now operating in the gallery.

What the customer gets is a perfect U.S. State, Territorial or America the Beautiful Quarter in a sterling silver bezel, contained in a double-bag marketing package, ready to hang on your Master Pegboard.

Each Pegboard can have, and should have, its own theme or common thread, such as “Water” or “Birds” or “Travel” or “Love & Romance” or “Revolutionary War” or “Civil War” or “Protected Environments”, and so forth — the choices are far & wide, and the selection process down to “What Pegboards Will I Bring to the Fair???” is worth the time & effort.

A Pegboard can be framed, generally a 16″x20″ will do, and the frame will soon get dinged, so don’t worry about putting a used frame on it, just get it up there. In a shop, people will not be so forgiving, and there, you’d be well-served to put a new prettier frame around it.

Your Pegboards can also be mounted on an easel, or built onto a commercial stand, or put up a dozen different ways, and you can use the rotating merchandising trees on a counter-top or table to supplement the wall displays.

Let’s examine the result of your coin searches: Continue reading

Gorby’s Memory-Builder

This search yielded lots of great twins for my Memory Builder Game!

Something For The Brain???

I’ve got it!

You are going to LOVE “Gorby’s Memory-Builder Coinology Game”.

It is totally amazing, astounding, incredible and fantastic, a veritable galaxy of gaming!

It’s a simple concept, something you’ll remember from your childhood, if you ever had one, a game usually played with a deck of cards — a game called “Concentration”, it’s also known as Concentration, also known as “Memory”, “Pairs”, “Twins” or “Match Game”, and it has many other names you might not have heard before, such as “Shinkei-suijaku”, which is the name I knew for it, so now you also know, and a lotta good it’ll do ya, unless you know the secret, and once the secret is known, it’s no longer a secret.

The secret is that my Memory Builder is a coin version of the kid’s card game, “Concentration”, where you put the cards face down and try to match them up — jack and jack, nine and nine, deuce and deuce — like that.

The game “Concentration” was suggested to me by the natural actions you’ll take as a Coinology Soul-Searcher whose singular Objective Job is to take Worthy Ones offline, off the grid, off the wheel, out of circulation, and fitted into an Objective Task as part of a Coinology Safari Team.

Imbuement is the Key

Come see me at my new zombie family pizza parlor! Great Pizza at Low, Low Prices.

Let’s weigh in on the Trump situation, and then move on to more important matters. Firstly, Donald does not know, and never will know, that dominating is not winning. I’m not committed to getting that message across for two reasons — I don’t argue with the stupid, and frankly, I don’t care what the hell he does.

If you want to reach the same “Just Fuck Off” headspace I’ve reached about Trump, Trumpies and Trumpism, thanks to whom I can now freely use the word “fuck” on national television news at prime time, I recommend the “Official Mantra of the Hopeless”:

“As long as business is good, who cares what else happens?”

This worked well in Eastern Europe, until the extermination camps actually started to operate full-time, which they will soon do here in this time-frame, if I’m any judge, and I am.

Okay, that having been said, enough is enough, and I’ll waste no more time and effort on Little-Penis Donald J. Trump this day, as is.

Let go of all the Trump shit, all the shadow-show and hysterical need to hide his cheating ways, all his freakout about the Russia Probe and his precious money trip, let it all go, let it all go, let it all go.

Forget about Trump. Forget about Washington. Forget about injustice. Concentrate on the Primary Meditation in the Folded Lotus Selling Mode, thusly: Continue reading

Sell Ordinary Roosevelt Dimes For $20 Apiece!

Wearing my favorite Significant Date Dime just after the Big Parade.

There are literally hundreds of errors in the Roosevelt Dimes that are still in circulation, and if you want to search earlier, you’ll find LOTS to develop.

What is “Development”?

Development is simply the process by which you bring a coin from “raw” state to “market” state, and can involve a number of intricate steps:

  1. FIND THE COIN — Easier said than done, I’m afraid. Experience is the best teacher. Fool’s gold looks to the inexperienced prospector exactly like gold, but to the seasoned miner, it’s clearly not gold, doesn’t behave like gold, look or feel like gold, just plain isn’t gold.
  2. HANDLE THE COIN — Once you have the coin in hand, it’s time to immediately protect it from further damage. Decide to protect it, and do so.
  3. PREP THE FLIP — Take the protective cover off the inside of the flip and place it non-sticky side at the bottom, sticky side over.
  4. BAG THE COIN — Carefully, handling it with dry fingers at the rim only, turn the coin face-down and place it into the flip.
  5. CLOSE THE FLIP — It’s not enough to just lightly touch the flip to seal it. You should gently massage the flip closed until you know it’s sealed well. Take the extra second and you won’t regret it years from now, when you pull the coin out of a storage box.
  6. IDENTIFY THE COIN — Immediately write out the flip inscriptions, completely, right now while you still remember what you saw in the raw coin, because the flip will hide some details, and memory fails after an unpredictable amount of time. This is where experience pays off bigtime, when you KNOW your market.
  7. PRICE THE COIN — Price tag goes on right away with the current market value. If you don’t know the current market value, you’ll have to research it a bit online, perhaps on eBay, but also check with coin merchants and coin exchanges where coin collectors buy, sell and trade.

Coin Prospecting

Zombie Family Backyard Jamboree yielded some great coin finds.

What is Gorby’s Money Laundry?

It’s about getting a clean box of coins without the crud, and you’ll find out all about it at the end of this little dissertation, but let’s let that happen as it will, and meantime dive into the meat-and-potatoes of Soul Search & Rescue through Coinology Searches.

It’s not enough to just find a great coin — you must learn now how to sell your treasures, and the best way to go about that is to create your very own unique personal Coin Kiosk.

You don’t need a store — you can get a space in our gallery, or perhaps you know a local merchant who will give you some space in their shop either for a single day or sometimes permanently, with your very own spot in the shop. This is called a “Trunk Show”, and you share the profits with the store owner — a fair split would be 50% of the selling price, but some merchants will give you a better percentage just to get your additional business through their front door.

In any business, wholesale, retail or service, the whole thing rests on NEW customers, not one-offs or random customers. You want and need repeat business, and that means happy customers.

The new business model, particularly in China, is to one-off everything and abandon ship, build a different factory, do something totally different each production cycle — that way, you’re never stuck with old inventory, but the downside is that you have to reinvent your factory every couple of months, and your salespeople never know what you’ll be exporting next.

Coinology Hints

Zombie Family Coin-Search Party earlier this evening.

Here are a bunch of personal notes expanded from a short stack of Post-It notes by my coin-searching pad. I hope you can use this information to gain a better understanding of the technique and liberating technology of Soul-Searching and Sweep-Searching under the 3 Aspects of Coinology which together form the triple-faced Goddess of Coinology, Solaria.

If, on the other hand, you have a favorite god-form, don’t hesitate to assume it for your searches. So, with a lot more further ado than you might like to see, here are the aforesaid previously mentioned “personal notes”, which are, as I’ve already indicated, expanded from much shorter notes written on sticky note paper and plastered by the side of my coin search table and adequate Soft-White lighting.

The biggest hurdle in coin-searching is knowing exactly what you’re looking for, and that really is hindered by studying photos. They simply don’t convey the “feel” of the coin, and once you’ve had an example of that particular error coin in your hand, you’ll not likely forget it, and you can and will SEE the error, thus giving yourself the confidence needed that you WILL RECOGNIZE that coin when it comes up in a search. No doubt about it. Continue reading
