Best Of

My pickups at an Elks Lodge coin show today:

I got the silver proof Kennedy for $15. The dealer said that I got a good deal. He thought the coin was clad.

You guys don't get it. Sorry. I have some from the hunt, but this is different. If you don't want to play, don't. I have a great set and I am proud of it.

Restrike. No interest at all on my part.

He is such a classic narcissist, and this fits right in.
Coins are supposed to be about the nation, not promoting someone who is alive.

It's really more of an issue with the year-to-year inconsistent planchet size of large cents.

NEWPS for me:

Not a NEWP but part of the US Patterns12 piece FE & IHC Short Set (1858):

6/12 - halfway there!

Let's see, I could post about how the current "president" is a malignant narcissist, is ruling not like a leader but a petty tyrant, is just plain brutalizing US cities in horrific fashion, has sent people to other countries for the express purpose of being tortured, has increased taxes on all of us, upped inflation, politicized the administration of justice against his so-called "enemies", sent some states already into recession, is tearing up our health care system and accepts the crudest and cruelest pseudo-science, and much worse...

But PCGS has made it clear that there are some people we must not judge on the content of their character, so I'm just not touching this thread again, even with a 34-decimeter pole.

A coin to honor someone that hates the Constitution, the rule of law and half the country that doesn’t worship him. I find this beyond disgusting and an insult to the country I served proudly for over 20 years. I hope this thread is closed.

Oh, the thread will be closed. The question is whether or not some of the more extreme posts will get their authors jailed or even banned.

When I read a post such as this and the varied comments contained therein I can only add that

On 1-20-2029 the current national nightmare or national resurgence to greatness (depending on one's point of view) will be over.

Another person will occupy the White House and the nation can have someone to idolize or despise.

Rinse and repeat, as the nation and the world continues towards the ultimate destination that is shrouded in mystery at this time.

Now, back to enjoying life, including a coin or two.
