    Well, happy birthday! When I was 27 gold was $200/ounce. I hope you score.

    Also there was that crazy dude, Jim Jones, who told 900 members of his "People's Temple" church to drink the Kool-Aid. Don't do that.

    Happy Birthday!

    When I was 27 I had 2 children with one on the way.
    I worked 60+ hours a week at two jobs and I loved every damn minute.

    Happy birthday! Enjoy being in your twenties! Wish I knew then what I know now :)

    You should get yourself a good 1927 or 1827 dated coin.

    Happy Birthday. At 27 I was married and had a 3 year old daughter. She is older than you now. Coin related, I also had a 13 piece type gold set all in first generation holders which included a 1907 $20 High Relief in MS61. Hope you find some good pieces at the coin shops.

    Enjoy your day.

    Happy Birthday you young whippersnapper. Happy hunting at the coin shops.

    Like ricko, when I was 27 gold was $43.00 per oz., $43.80 on my birthday to be exact. I was buying gold British sovereigns for $10.05. I remember arguing about the five cents and the dealer was paying the shipping. Those were the days to start stacking, wish I still had all those sovereigns, I still have one I only paid $15.00 for. Forty-nine years later I'm now older, smarter and a very happy fellow.

    Have a great rest of your day.

    When I was 27 Alta Vista was released to the public less than a week before my birthday!
    ...and I got to design the layout of the Alta Vista Travel Section.
    True story.
    Happy B-Day Enjoy 27!!!
