    If I were rooting for Kansas City, I would post a picture of Bennie Moten, Walter Page or Arthur Bryant.

    49ers- several possibilities

    -1849 dated coins
    -California Gold Rush Issues
    -If you don’t have those, anything minted in San Fran?

    Chiefs-

    -Any design with an Indian on it, I guess?

    • feel free to improvise if you have another idea

    I’ll go first:

    However, I don’t know if the “script” will allow for a Swiftie SuperBowl loss, so my money will probably be on the chiefs 😂.

    Cool thread. Does anyone know if 1849 dated Philly gold coins are mostly California gold?

    No skin in the game since my team was eliminated in the 1st round
    But I'll stick with the NFC

    I bet chiefs ML and 49ers u24.5 🤑

    I also was rooting for the chiefs because their LG is a coin collector!

    BHNC #248 … 130 and counting.

    I wanted the 49ers to win after the Ravens lost. I would have loved the Ravens to have won. BUT... it was one of the better Super Bowls - great game. Congrats to the Chiefs.

    I am a newer collector (started April 2020), and I primarily focus on U.S. Half Cents and Type Coins. Early copper is my favorite.

    I root for midwest teams since that is were I live....however, S. F.'s Quarterback was the QB for Iowa State and I like the fact that he has done so well in the NFL as such a low draft pick. But K. C. is my favorite AFC team so "Go Chiefs".

    Nobody. The first and last one I watched was in 1973.

    Wife and daughter were for KC. Son wanted SF until he started cheering for the comeback. I was probably mildly for KC the whole time (2nd closest team to where I grew up, not a fan of much regarding SF).
    Wanted to also be looking at the GC auctions but couldn’t make it happen.

    A friend at work told me her son was betting on: 'the number of seconds of live television game time coverage of Taylor Swift.' (over/under 28.5 seconds) He chose the over. I don't know anyone, personally, who 'hates' Taylor Swift. If you find yourself lost in that puddle of misfortune, I feel sorry for you. I don't own any Indian Cents at this time, but I want to play along, so I'll include one that I used to enjoy owning.

    Q: When does a collector become a numismatist?



    A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.



    A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.

    SF win the first half
    KC win the 2nd half (SF missed a PAT & gave a fumbled ball to KC).
    KC win in OT simply because SF didn’t know the new overtime rules.

    Bottom line the 49ers blew the game to a more experienced SB team.

    The NFL needs to apply the same rules as this forum. It is no longer about football. To many activist type promotion and non-athlete celebrity entertainment instead. So I watch local football and college instead. Which is sad because ten years ago the game was truly as it should be. And there was a time not so long ago that it was cheap enough for a working man to take his family to a game. Not any more. Finally, they're even forcing you to pay to watch local games which should still to be free. Peacock this Roger Godell!

    Er, 2 really great teams played an exciting game with ebb and flow for both teams performances. No one blew the game, LOL, LOL, LOL. Heckofa game, someone had to win, that is all there is to it.

    Thank you! And the 2nd quarter also! Bought 10% of the squares and won 32% of the pool. Pretty pleased and I already have the coin picked out that I'm going to try to buy with the proceeds.
