I sent coins off to Newport Beach
Lofty grades, I was hoping they'd reach
But I darn near went spastic
When I got back the plastic
A fingerprint centered on each!

I sent my coins in for grading
to people who were masquerading
as professional guys
but to my surprise
they used braille instead of their eyes!
and it sets us apart from practitioners and consultants. Gregor
and I also hope you don't think i'm crazy.
i submitted my coins
with a flower of mine,
A fresh plucked garden grown daisy.
hmm, that's my attempt. lol
What rhymes with Dallas...Hmmm...palace..chalice...malice...phallus
There once was a man from Demoine,
Who owned a neatly toned coin,
When he sent it for grading,
All he got was berating,
And now he feels so forlorn!
GSAGUY
You're getting there!!!

Got them home and wtf
So hazzy they could make u cluck
It was a cam'ed as a duck
boy that seller really sucked
Sent "his" coins in for a grade,
Though many were average,
Because of his leverage,
The higher buck rating was made.
So beautiful and keen to the eye
but the lustre dissappeared,
just as I had feared,
In transit, so now I just cry.
There once were some beautiful pics
on E-bay, they all knew the tricks
To make them look bright
and shiny - what a sight!
But buy them and you'll be sick!
an effort at least :-)
see? My Auctions "Got any 1800's gold?"
Couldn't wait to get it home
20 years later, the tone had grown greater
and now the da*! coin is black!

What did the doe say when she came out of the woods?.....Last time I do THAT for a buck!
Thought I might have a FBL 53s and posted a pic just for Laffs,
Then I kept reading posts about another half and thought whats all the fuss,
Now I have to buy a few because of a cat called Russ!

Who took a state quarter and chucked it
PCGS had said
"It's Body bagged, dead"
And suggested a place he could tuck it.
Who dipped rainbowed gems in a bucket
A.T. bags, he did say
Stole my ill-gotten pay
If they won't slab my artwork then ...

Who put a raw coin in a bucket
In it he wee'd
And so it AT'd
In the morning his wife had to chuck it
How about that. Bryan?
Supercoin? Bring it on.

There once was a lawyer from Texas
Whose coin was worth more than a Lexus
A claim he did make
This Roanoke's not fake
And used our own posts just to vex us
Dan, you shouldn't have started this.
Planning the last line is the pits!
I must humbly concede
To the prose Clankeye peed
(Insert here an ironic twist.)
Who bought PCGS crap
It cost him big bucks
And the quality sucked
So he smoked a joint.
For this coin. A Top Pop of 1!
I sent it express
To PCGS
It came back nicely toned by a thumb.
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
Not too tired to ROFL at a few of y'all's fine compositions, however.
All good work, but I declare clankeye the Limerick Master.

Don't leave us in suspense, supercoin-- how does it end?!
Obscurum per obscurius
"Don't ship proofs in a PVC flip.
Unpacked for days,
they developed a haze.
Now their value is closer to zip!
There once was a rich man who bought an old dime
Without thinking or taking the time
He didn't read the book
Got no more than a look
And turned into a poor man without realizing the crime.

I saw an auction that looked great!
The title said, "HUSBAND'S ESTATE!"
But, could it be a lie?
Is "Deb" really a guy?
I guess sob stories make prices inflate.
and it sets us apart from practitioners and consultants. Gregor
Who said he graded coins as they should
However, it was not funny
After I plunked down my money
To find out my nickel was made out of wood.
Joe.
I think I may be in the pits.
The problem you see,
is a submission step skipped by me,
I forgot to put my coins in their flips.
The coins may aquire some dings,
and all other sorts of things,
because the postman took my package,
and beat the thing like he was on a rampage.
So I threw some scorpions on his back to sting.
Now I need to relax,
Think I'll go play my sax.
Get a drink off my table,
I should learn how to label.
for the bottle turned out to be Ex-lax.
Edited for spelling.
it had acg all over the plactic
But he was a scammer
and sent me a hammer
So i threated to _______ (fill in the blank with the most voilent thing u can think of)
paid the fees, the postage and insurance
my mint state was rejected
as AT as I suspected
but from an original roll that makes me nervous
My website
From Dallas sold coins I had to get,
I bid fast and loose,
and forgot the juice.
Now the invoice is my big regret.
There was an old Pirate from France
Who kept a rare coin in his pants
He stored the gold coin
Right next to his groin
Where ladies would find it by chance
That keeps a coin snug in its place
Lying still, so sedate,
Yet it's really just bait
For the Registry Set's frantic race.
If Sheldon were living today
Would he view what's been done with dismay?
His scale - sliced so thin!
He'd probably grin
As we gorge at the slabber's buffet.
New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
With a gold coin tucked in his pants!
The ladies cried:
"This coin's from the darkside"
And shipped his a$$ back to France.
Joe.
and sold it when I got in a bind
one day in change
this merc looked strange
and I got one for nothing this time
My website
But kranky's second one gets my vote for best use of subject matter and limerical correctness -- excellent!
Who...OOOPS
Wrong Post!!!!
2 Cam-Slams!
1 Russ POTD!
I'm a fool for the fees that I paid
But there's no cause for alarm
The third time's the charm!
It's a game many collectors have played.
Lot's of good limericks so far!

I turned a Franklin half into a dime
twas to be a quick dip
but there was a slight slip
I should have used lemon juice not lime.
A coin loving gal named Marie
picked up a nice Franc in Paree
she said "This one I'm keeping
by me when I'm sleeping"
and it aqquired the toning you see.
I bought some Sac bags from the Mint
expecting some dings but no tint
when I saw what I got
every nick, every spot
I knew that they weren't heaven sent!
A crossing dressing fellow named Mike
Said "I'm not gay, it's coins that I like.
When I dance for a crowd
they're rude and quite loud
But sometimes they throw me an Ike.
Ta dA!
We'll use our hands and hearts and if we must we'll use our heads.
Thanks, GSAguy. My wife just officially told me to "get a life." But,
before I do:
There once was a man from Khartoum
Who quickly could empty a room
By doing a dance
With a coin down his pants
And shouting "come kiss my doubloon!"
I think my wife has a valid point. I shall stop now. Dan, I told you not to start this.
But I agree, you WIN!!!!!!!!!!
Joe.
Clankeye go sleep now.
A gem coin can make me feel giddy
or inspire a coin limerick diddy
but the thing that's sublime
when I'm done with this rhyme
is to log onto ebay and Biddie
A guy with a Registry Set
said "I pay high prices and bet,
that prices will rise"
with dollar signs in my eyes
but if they do not , I'll regret."
You Classic guys get off my back
just cause I like a nice Sac
don't mean that they're easy,
or that Sackie was sleazy,
so please just save your wisecrack.
We'll use our hands and hearts and if we must we'll use our heads.
guess this limerick things startin to age
still I can't let it die
and I'll soon tell you why
until then, you just fume and rage
We'll use our hands and hearts and if we must we'll use our heads.
This Lincoln is P.Q. and fab!
I just off of Ebay did nab!
It'd be basking in heaven
with MS67,
Were it not for a certain blue slab.
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
at the fourm top this thread is stayin
free coins you must send
then my rhymin will end
but until then I'll drive you insanin.
We'll use our hands and hearts and if we must we'll use our heads.
