Got super nice ASE from JTryka. Always a pleasure to deal with Jeff.

Yesterday the mailman was good to me!

nice coins!!

Great stuff!

got my coins from finland and some nice extras

I got my two mint sets today, and although the coins look nice, I think it will be a pain in the neck to cut them out of there!

An apology and a credit on my account from a stupid credit card company for calling and harassing over a period of two weeks for an alleged past due payment. They literally called 10 times a day, morning, noon and night, never left messages etc, and it looked like some attempted fraud. Needless to say that credit card went to the shredder and then was burned.

A bank statement, some ads, and that is it

i got two loupes today!!!!

I got this one in the mail yesterday:

Got my 2007 Mint Sets.

From a recent Heritage auction:

1896-O Barber dime ANACS AG 3


AG 3??? Yes, I bought it on purpose for that grade.

Pics to be posted later.

Also received the latest Neil Young CD. Hope its good.

Today's mail contained a beautiful 1966-SMS-50 cent piece MS66 NGC.

My 1901 Maundy set arrived today, and it manages to make grumpy old Queen Victoria look gorgeous.

Picked this up from Barry Stuppler, president of the ANA -- wonder where it was when the city was going to hell in an earthquake...

Beautiful gold piece.

I got this one in the mail a few days ago, but didn't have time to post photos till now:




And that's a beautiful half eagle tommy!

That coin may have been paid out by Bank of Italy- later Bank of America, to loan money to working men to rebuild the city. The founder of BofA was an Italian immigrant who would only then loan money to men with callouses on their hands, signs that they were workers. He set up a table right after the quake and paid out accounts and loans in gold coin.

Very cool story! I think I've heard that before, but your version brought it to a more personal level.

How easy are Maundy sets to come by?

100 Blaptica Dubia (Guyana orange spotted) roaches to start my breeder colony for my scorpions to eat. The adults are around 2.5 inches, and pretty nifty looking. This brings my count of inverts to 9 scorpions, and just over 100 cockroaches. Too bad I didn't keep the 1,000 some lobster roaches right? Lol. Oddly enough the dubia roaches are kept as pets in Europe and certain parts of this country, it seems since they can't breed in your house, more people are okay with having them around.

Just don't name them ^...

I didn't even name all my scorpions honestly, lol. I have 9, but only 4 are named.

I picked this one up on Saturday at a local show:

Nice eagle!

Great selection of coins. I have to agree with you on the Florin being a superb design.

New design for my "Yummy Darkside Gold" collection.

Got a jefferson first spouse gold unc that I thought was sold out, but I guess I got lucky.

Nothing! Not even a single piece of junkmail!

My next Corrupting the YN Cointest with darkside coins will be a Duzy!

cant wait!!!!

I got these in the mail yesterday:

Those are AMAZING!!!
How much would a specimen similar to that cost?

Depending on the date, a pre-1814 in F/VF would probably run about $100 or about $94 Canadian!

Tomorrow prolly $93 Canadian the way the US$ is going.

A 'bit' out of my range...but its sooo !

Lawn mowing season is out, but snow blowing season is upon thee soon. $, $, $, until $$$!

hope the neighborhood kids don't have that all staked out...

The mailman was good to me yesterday!

She almost looks more beautiful with some nice circulation wear. Nice, jtryka!

Oh, nice. I've wanted to pick one of those up for years but things always seem to pilfer my money before I get the chance, lol.

Nice coin!

Absolutely nothing! (AGAIN!)
Maybe they can't squeeze past the prize Dave is sending
