Dang it, I remember your birthday when my birthday rolls around, and then it's too late.
Happy retrospective birthday, George!!!
-
Aw, you glorious creatures. Thanks! I might wander off, but your
shiny shoes and free peanut brittlewit and charm will always lure me back. -
I woke up this morning asking myself, Why is this horrid Barry Manilow song stuck in my head? And then it hit me: it's Clive's birthday!!!
Long may you run (hike, cycle, excavate, collect, travel), olde friend. Oh, and long may you do jumping jacks, too.

I've been researching the Netherlands coins minted in the U.S. during the war and wondered what the acorn privy mark signifies. The answer, according to Jacques Schulman: the Handels-Secretaris (???) of the Dutch Embassy in Washington, DC was related to the Badhill-Thornhill family, whose coat of arms includes acorns. Not the most inspiring explanation, but it's the only one I've found.

Geld van het Koninkrijk is one of the books you helped me buy from a seller in the Netherlands back in 2007, T3. I refer to it often, but it's much easier when you do the translating. Thanks for posting this.

Thanks, everyone. It's been lovely so far, and I haven't even started drinking or eating barbecue yet.
-
Happy Birthday!
-
Great to have you back, TG, and now you're across the Bay from me! Have you visited the Old SF Mint yet? I attended a coin show there in February in order to finally tour the place.
-
Thanks for the birthday wishes, you little beezles! Now I'm craving stroopwafels.
-
I knew it had to be a remarkable coin to divert you from silver. Truly lovely, Clive - and I still say it looks good enough to eat.

Aren't we missing something?

Is 1591 another prob year??
Ian posted a 1591 patagon from Gelders upthread, which saved me from having to post my squashed 1591 Westfriesland ducat.
-
West Friesland helmeted rijksdaalder, 1596.
-
I'm still expecting Ian to find a 1607 in his sofa cushions.
-
I found this one in an envelope of assorted silver coins. Too bad I can't take decent photos -- the obverse flashes russet, green & magenta.
You can scream now, toning haters.
-
Poor Art. Another tankless task.
-
^^^ Thanks, Mark. I love the soldier's extravagant mustache.
-
1608 West Friesland lion daalder.
-
I've seen (and coveted) a few Dutch coins dated 1499, and I believe Scottishmoney has at least one coin with an even earlier date.
-
Ian can't save us this time... unless he unearths more boxes. Does anyone have a 1611? I'm out until 1608.
-
Many thanks m, surprised to see you post in the Coin Forum!
Oh, nag, nag, nag. I pace myself for the shock value.
-
You really did wipe them out of Anglo-Saxon. What beauties.
-
1622 West Friesland daalder.
-
I absolutely believe you are right, yet I look at the blob and think, "turnip".
Maybe it's a sweet potato!
Okay, it's a fleur de yam.
Happy Birthday YeOldeCollector!!!!

Good thing I have the Clive Birthday Extender™, so Greenwich Mean Time means nothing to me. Happy birthday, nephew!
