Not often mind you. :D But on occasion B)
And as some of you know, I like rabbits.
Pretty cool if you ask me.
It’s tiny! 1/2 gram, but pretty cool none the less.

    Nice. I have 3 1/2 gram gold coins just for the fun of it. They are so tiny! That one's a unique design too!

    Pika - "rock rabbit" - I've seen a lot of these on hikes.
    They often live in talus fields, and make a cool "beep" sound when you approach!
    First beep is at 0:30 in the above video.

    Awesome. Can't beat free gold.
    My boss at the LCS gave me a 1972 DDO LMC as a gift on my last day working there before leaving for college.

    That’s awesome! Post it here if you have a picture. :)

    Didn't want to hijack the thread but since you asked. :)
    I started working there when I was 14 by sorting the buckets of pennies that he had saved over the years. Common pocket change stuff. Picking out the copper, wheats and looking for varieties. This was the first real variety that was found in the buckets. We sent it in for grading and I thought he sold it. Turned out he saved it for the past few years intending on giving it to me when I head off to college.

    That’s AWESOME! 👍

    @Kliao Awesome story on the 1972 Doubled Die - It's really great that you actually found it yourself while searching through change buckets!

    That LCS boss went over the top keeping for you and waiting for the perfect time - Congratulations

    It's all about what the people want...

    Love pika's and enjoy them in the western mountains. Bigfoot has been witnessed to go digging for these in the talus - apparently good eating raw.
