    "An incessant attention to preserve inviolate those exalted rights and liberties of human nature for which they have fought and bled, and without which the high rank of a rational being is a curse instead of a blessing."

    Society of the Cincinnati, 1783

    LOL. I know what day it is. I'm just not sure why we needed 3 different threads.

    Great pictures... I have been to the Statue of Liberty (as I am sure many others here have also)... it is impressive and inspiring. Cheers, RickO

    If you're interested, this is the Bartholdi museum in Colmar, France. If you're ever in the region of the Vosges mountains this is a wonderful medieval city. My daughter and I spent a couple of days there.

    To keep this coin related, there is a nice little B&M shop around the corner. I picked up a few items including a replacement 50 Fr Hercules (to replace one I absolutely destroyed trying to remove PVC) and proof set from the period of time that I lived in France.
