    I wan't to start a thread showing various items made from coins, some of this stuff gets interesting. Post a pic if you run across something, from the functional, to the fanciful. Here's some thing I saw today, a Netherland cut-out dish:

    in Coin Forum

    Posted

    Everyone: thanks for your comments.  I guess the real question is what would we net grade a coin like this?  VF?

     

    I snapped another photo of the coin this morning from a slightly different angle. I thought I had removed the plastic the first time, but it looks as if I had not.  pardon the flash glare. No plastic over the coin:

    The coin looks cleaned to me. Noting the dirt around the stars and the scratches across the surface all seem to go the same direction. :ninja:

    Happy Birthday Eric. Hope you have a great day full of gifts and happiness. Here is some trival birthday facts for you.Fun Facts about

    Happy Birthday to You

     

     

    Happy Birthday to You, the four-line ditty was written as a classroom greeting in 1893 by two Louisville teachers, Mildred J. Hill, an authority on Negro spirituals, and Dr. Patty Smith Hill, professor emeritus of education at Columbia University.

    The melody of the song Happy Birthday to You was composed by Mildred J. Hill, a schoolteacher born in Louisville, KY, on June 27, 1859. The song was first published in 1893, with the lyrics written by her sister, Patty Smith Hill, as "Good Morning To All."

     

     

     

    Happy Birthday to You was copyrighted in 1935 and renewed in 1963. The song was apparently written in 1893, but first copyrighted in 1935 after a lawsuit (reported in the New York Times of August 15, 1934, p.19 col. 6)

    In 1988, Birch Tree Group, Ltd. sold the rights of the song to Warner Communications (along with all other assets) for an estimated $25 million (considerably more than a song). (reported in Time, Jan 2, 1989 v133 n1 p88(1)

     

     

    In the 80s, the song Happy Birthday to You was believed to generate about $1 million in royalties annually. With Auld Lang Syne and For He's a Jolly Good Fellow, it is among the three most popular songs in the English language. (reported in Time, Jan 2, 1989 v133 n1 p88(1)

    Happy Birthday to You continues to bring in approximately 2 million dollars in licensing revenue each year, at least as of 1996 accounting, according to Warner Chappell and a Forbes magazine article.

     

    How about that? :ninja:

    Lord, make me an instrument of Thy Peace.

    Where there is hatred, let me sow love.

    Where there is injury, pardon.

    Where there is doubt, faith.

    Where there is despair, hope.

    Where there is darkness, light.

    Where there is sadness, joy.

    O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek

    to be consoled as to console;

    To be understood, as to understand;

    To be loved, as to love.

    For it is in giving that we receive.

    It is in pardoning, that we are pardoned.

    And it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.

    Abish, I know it is not my work, just fitting. Sorry for your sudden loss. It is hard to lose a member of the family, even when they are our pets. :ninja:
