Any interest in a monthly photo challenge? "And then I woke up..."

From the poster who brought you METAL PORN FRIDAY™, how about a monthly photography challenge?
This would be a theme proposed around the first of the month: Holiday themed, seasonal, specific year, favorite coin by X designer, etc. Suggestions welcomed. We could even vote for a favorite.
As an example, here's a February challenge: If you're like me, you've had actual dreams over the years when you stopped into a brick and mortar you'd never seen before, or you dream you found a box in an attic, or there was a safe deposit box you forgot about. Whatever the dream, the coins are fantastic and either free or practically so...and then you wake up 
So here's my February contribution to the photo challenge theme of "And then I woke up". If there's interest, we can make it a monthly thing. If not, enjoy the fantasy

Dear Downtown1974,
As we are steaming for New York, I am writing you from my 3rd class cabin. Grandma tells me that you have taken on collecting coins. Collecting money sounds like a profitable hobby. I have included a photograph from the desk in my cabin. There are some coins you are free to peruse when I return. It’s probably nothing of interest though, mostly modern coins.
I hear they are changing the design of the five cent piece next year. Apparently there will be a Buffalo on the reverse. Does Ricko like toned coins yet? He’s always had a fancy for blast white coins. Anyhow...I’m going to turn in shortly so I will end here. Say hello to the fellas on the boards!
All the best,
Grandpa.

Weiss, I've never had anything remotely close to a "coin" dream.

Dear Downtown1974,
How did that 1912 Barber Dime make it over to jolly old England in such a worn condition in only three months??

While you’re being realistic, color photo from 1912?
yes!!
How dare you tell me how to dream.
Must have been a pocket piece. Dungarees were much harsher in those days.
Some of these photos here are pretty darn interesting.
This is more or less along these same lines. I was trying to imagine what life what like when these coins were minted. It was a very different world back then:
That is a beautiful SLQ BryceM, I may dream about it tonight.
Awesome thread! A break from the normal. Take care...

I do not dream about specific coins.... I have dreamed about finding treasure hidden in caves. As soon as I figure out how to take a picture of my dream, I will be back.
Cheers, RickO
