My wife gave me coins in a folder.
I wanted them graded I told her!
I dropped her some hints,
soon covered in prints,
for she took them out of the holder!!!

My coin seemed far better than best,
At least as compared with the rest.
But it’s sadly been screened
As doctored and cleaned
In the judgment of PCGS.
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
I found a small coin in the grass
It was silver, so I could not pass
Shiny and new
All covered with dew
I grabbed it, you bet your xxx
Cheers, RickO
As for the bucket, Nantucket.
It might seem that he lacked common sense
As the price that he paid was immense,
But when this penny joins
The rest of his coins
His collection is making more cents
Successful transactions with : MICHAELDIXON, Manorcourtman, Bochiman, bolivarshagnasty, AUandAG, onlyroosies, chumley, Weiss, jdimmick, BAJJERFAN, gene1978, TJM965, Smittys, GRANDAM, JTHawaii, mainejoe, softparade, derryb
Bad transactions with : nobody to date
If you're lacking a little good cheer
Go and tickle a bull in the rear
For I'm sure that the rumor
That they've no sense of humor
In a product of ignorant fear
coin related
What’s with all these threads about CAC?
And all of these guys talking smack?
If my coin doesn’t please
Mr. John Albanese
Is it true my coin isn’t worth jack?
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
Funny !!!
Beautiful Bison!!!
There once was a young man from Kent,
whose...............
Oh better just forget it
Okay, I'll bite.
There once was a young man from Kent,
whose collection was just one cent,
A VDB hero?
Or just a big zero?
He sold it to just pay the rent!!!!
‘‘Twas a young man from Nantucket
Who found a bunch of Lincolns in a bucket
He looked at each one with care
But the best grade was only fair
So he kicked the bucket and said
“Oh, well...
So he kicked the bucket and said
"Every one is a double die obverse!
And then he posted them on this forum for months.
You guys are hilarious!!!! I'm laughing so hard.
“Oh, well...
That's the funniest line yet!!!!!
I went to a coin show in ‘08
I bought so much, it was great
I was so excited
and then I recited
the pcgs price guide by date.
There once was a hermit named Dave,
Who makes love to gold coins in a cave,
"I know it's a sin,"
He said with a grin,
"But think of the money I save!"
A coin dealing lady from Flint
Did business not having a hint
But her future was Gold
Or, so she was told
Because her figure was Mint.
There was a collector named Glicker
Refused to buy coins with a sticker
Sold the Saints for scrap
Bought only modern crap
Spent the rest on a stash of good liquor.
And so we go on with the rhyme's
In these very interesting times
No problem with stress,
Though the world's in a mess,
I just started my collection of trimes.
Cheers, RickO
That lustrous gem I adored her
Alas now I’ve become a mourner
An incredulous schlup
I just got bid up
By the potted fern in the corner
If I were a tree
And saw a gold coin
Laying under me
It would take a world
To replace the leaves I curled
Pete
Roses are red
Lincoln is dead
His house is empty
And so is your head.

Keeping the precious metals theme:
I shoot the Hippopotamus
With bullets made of platinum,
Because if I use leaden ones
His hide is sure to flatten 'em.

One of the funniest threads in a long time!!
Pennies, nickels and dimes
Help us to make up these rhymes
Keep coins in this thread
So the thread don't go dead
There's finally a use for those Trimes!
There was a grader named Fred.
Graded silver, gold, even lead!
Collectors would gather,
Fred's grades they would rather,
for his grades were always ahead!!
These are pretty funny! If Andrew Dice Clay collects coins, he could surely contribute to this thread.
MY GOLD TYPE SET https://pcgs.com/setregistry/type-sets/complete-type-sets/gold-type-set-12-piece-circulation-strikes-1839-1933/publishedset/321940
Sent all my coins in for grading
Then kept waiting and waiting
When they finally got back
I sent them to CAC.
Where they failed like the gals I was dating
I smiled a lot reading through this thread. Thank you @Onastone
There is a forum of collectors
they love their mod and respect her
she closes their threads
while they shake their heads
but at least the forum has a corrector
Heather Boyd
PCGS Senior Director of Marketing
There once was a forum mod Heather
When heckled she'd shake a stern finger
"If you continue this trite
I'll BAN you with might"
Now move on from flinging more zingers
@Akbeez I do like your limerick! It inspired me to write another!!
There once was a forum mod Heather
Some say she donned gold chains and leather
"Keep it Clean boys!" she said
"or what you write won't be read!"
Now their comments are light as a feather!!
Great Minds!!
Let's hear it for silver and gold,
Their attraction never gets old,
We scorn the new clad
and consider it bad
But it is useful for things bought and sold.
Cheers, RickO
There once was a coin called the nickel, it’s collectors dedicated or fickle, they come and go with the times, Nickels with steps defined with tiny lines, horns or hair, there are even trimes.

I collect Morgan Dollars and love it,
DMPLs and rainbows, lots of it.
So when some I won’t name
say they all look the same
I tell them they know where to shove it!
LOL
I like yours a lot and here is my pet inspired one
There once was a forum mod Heather
dearly loves her puppy named Butter
....she's also fond of my bird Mango
'cause she loves to Tango
Now the place is full of laughter
There once was a couple of guys named Jefferson,
They both always had clean undies,
One lived up on the Eastside and the other
across the street from the Bundy's,
They both also loved rye and pickles,
The only reason I can think of is
because it rhymed with Nickels
Steve
I once bought a coin that was raw
I really liked what I saw
It was so choice that it gleamed
Then I got it green beaned
And sold it to a dealer I know
There once was a dude who's a stoner
Who painted stones for a livin
When given a cipher
He got a riser
And (be)came the OnAStone(r)
Cheers Dude!
To keep it coin and time related:
Time to ring in a New Year,
Nearby fireworks, I hear.
My collection is wrecked,
Seems now it’s all dreck,
‘18 kicked my coins in the rear!
I just started collecting coins this year
It drives me to drink a lot of cheer
But the more I drink the less I think
And the better the coins appear.
@CoinscratchFever I love it! Great limerick!~
The first is always the best
Dusting off our old limerick thread... these are still fun to read. Anybody want to add to the collection???
A coin once with Hair Flowing Free,
Varieties two leaves or three,
You might need to settle,
Now struck as a metal,
May you find one with a Privy!
Why is the mint so fickle?
I don’t get even a tickle.
Every next roll
Is a kick in the hole.
I wanna new 24 nickel!
There was was a member named Creg
Who thought he was pulling your leg
Instead he got banned
For his head full of sand
So now he’ll probably beg.
