June 11, 2007: "Hair Salon"

Barber Half Salon Ad Color

Author:
J.Agre

Concept:
This is the sort of ad that results when there is no concept.

After struggling for something clever or witty to say about this coin, we settled on what may be the worst pun ever to appear in CoinWorld (or any other weekly publication).

On the other hand, we got a bunch of comments about the ad and the coin sold shortly thereafter, which suggests that some people like bad puns (I guess).

Captions that didn’t make the cut:
Inexplicably, we did not go with "If Charles E. Barber were alive today, we think he would select this coin for his own collection." which certainly seems like a better option today.

But we’ll no doubt make use of that one (or something very similar) in a future ad.
