Who's coin doctor said "May I retone ya?"
She said to the chap,
"I will draw you a map!,
where others have been before ya!!!!!!"

A-sitting by the bed
She looked at me and laughed out loud
And this is what she said:
Husband, you are like the stump
That's in the forrest sleeping
Moving at thy glacial pace
Like a vine slow creeping
And so of you, I shall say this
As if the world would care
I wish you'd take and sell your coins
And buy new underwear!
You will rue the day you started this thread, my friend.

Underwear VS. coins.
Brian. hahahahahaahahahahahahah
good one Carl.
who practiced on the church organ
She let out a shudder
when she heard someone mutter
'bout a timeshare in Oregon
There once was a coin from nantucket
Stored for years in a bucket
It acquired lots of tone
Yet the luster thru it shone
And all the blast white people said yucket
(and one for our dear inspirer Clankeye)
There once was a bard named Clank
Writing here really turned his crank
Each Monday he will write
What seems good in his sight
So we all know who to thank!
A buffalo made.
How many legs should it have?
Collectors say three.

Collect coins for fun
think not about the money
or they will flame you

Tongue tied and twisted

Especially in coins
For Truth is like a fickle lass
With whom you might conjoin
When wrapped inside it's warm embrace
The Truth can be most dazzling
But viewed again, from the outside...
It can be your unraveling
No that won't work....
Never mind....
I did send a nice poem to bear, PM him and ask him to repeat it...
We join CU in hopes of some insight.
Asking about coins and the best way to store,
Someone comes on and starts a big flame war.
Hows that...
Yo, yo, yo y'all
Listen to me, listen all
(scratchy scratchy scratch scratch, scratchy scratchy scratch)
I met a little girly,
Was lookin' mighty fine.
She could tell right off, y'all
I had one thing on my mind.
I was pullin' down her purse-strings
I was checkin' out her stash
When I saw a sight that set me right,
It hit me like a flash.
(scratchy scratchy scratch scratch, scratchy scratchy scratch)
You know, the girl got Kennys.
(scratchy scratchy scratchy scratch)
The girl got Kennys.
(Kenny D., Kenny D.)
I talked her up,
I talked her down.
I couldn't gain no ground.
She wasn't givin' nuthin' up
that's cameoed and round.
(scratchy scratchy scratch scratch, scratchy scratchy scratch)
You know, the girl got Kennys.
(scratchy scratchy scratchy scratch)
The girl got Kennys.
(Kenny D., Kenny D.)
She had a few in mint,
And she had a few in proof.
The contrast and the mirrors
Like ta put me thru the roof!
I asked her could I hold 'em
If only by the edge.
She told me, "NO", it hurt so bad
Just like a five-pound sledge.
(scratchy scratchy scratch scratch, scratchy scratchy scratch)
You know, the girl got Kennys.

The girl got Kennys.

Thanks! Do you have an opening for a house band at Coinalot?
The Minstrels of Coinalot are all a bunch of wussies in tights. We had Sir ClarkofKent penciled in as Ye Royal Catapult Tester. Simple job really...

YOU SILLY FOOLS
BUY THE COIN IN THE CASE
WITH THE HAPPY FACE
CONSUMERS ARE KING
NOT A PLACE OR THING
REMEMBER THE GOLDEN RULE
OR YOU WILL BE A FOOL

who finally gathered the nerve
to list a shiny dollar
"a steal!" they did holler
so he placed a healthy reserve
2 Cam-Slams!
1 Russ POTD!
<< <i>You get to see the world! >>
Yeah... a wonderful bird's-eye view!
that I bought on lease.
when I got it in hand
I was surprised to land
one that it was covered in raisen brand.
I wish I might,
Have the coin,
Bear bought last night.
Bought it slabbed to make a buck
got it home and WTF
about as original as a duck
so hairlined it could make you cluck
Boy the grading service really sucks
From the original
@#$%ing Seller!
Bought it raw to save a buck
got it home and WTF
about as cam'd as a duck
so hazy it could make you cluck
Boy that seller really sucked.
And my belly stuffed full from the chili I ate
I looked through the paper route money I made
For some valuable coins in a really high grade.
I didn't find any, but I hadn't expected
to doze off in mid-search through the coins I collected.
I guess it was the chili, 'cause I had a strange dream
That, there in the pile, was a Lincoln that gleamed.
I picked up that penny (or cent, if you must)
A pristine example - no nicks, dings or dust.
Look! A 1909 with a small letter "S"
Sitting under the date! On the back - dare I guess?
Would those three little letters be there on the back?
Either way, it's a coin I no longer would lack.
There, down at the bottom, and right in the center:
The tiny initials of Victor D. Brenner!
It was then that I woke, with a coin in my hand.
I sat up and I looked at that Lincoln cent and
Quickly discovered the date wasn't right.
A 53-D, and not even that bright.
"It was only a dream!" was the thought in my head.
I wanted to cry, but I just laughed instead.
'Twas the dream of so many, and I had it too.
But I keep on looking, 'cause it just might come true.
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.
We really should look into joining a union.
Also to add.If Keets (Al) doesnt post a new poem I,ll submit a really good one he posted on one of Coinguy1s` threads.Remember that one?I thought it was brilliant.
Whose color and luster were bolder
Said, "You know I'm a fake
But potatoes can make
Tone the same as a Wayte Raymond folder!!"
al h.
I knew this forum had a soul.

Edited to add and Klectorkid, Cam40 and CCR too. Roll on, guys.
There once where a couple of rockers
and one of them had large knockers.
they came up to me
because they wanted to see
what kind of coins there would be.
Lets write one together.
Heres a start.....
There was a member from CU
Who wanted his Jeffs to be blue
So someone said,you got any bread?
Cuz I need money for brew.
.....ok whats the next part.......
We really should look into joining a union.
hahaaaaa alright!!!! A partner in crime.
a coin that cost me seven grand
I paid over sheet, cause I thought it was neat
regardless of the brand
A Mercury dime was I
With much appeal to the eye
But a careless collector
From I dont know what sector
Pulled out a staple and gave me a scratch
Ya My butt and his face,that,d be a match
Even though he gave me a real doosie
I,m just so glad
That I,m not a damned CLAD
And my name doesnt happen to be Roosie.
Hows that one for the wingedlibertyguy?
coins are blue
if they make me rich
then I love you
By Leothelyon
The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!
My Jefferson Nickel Collection
Jeffs are blue
If all you think about is getting rich off your coins then....
I think that way too...
He HAD to encourage me.
Until it met my wife's prying eyes
At first she complained
But then she exclaimed
"Honey, I wish you were even half that size!"
When the tides of life turn against you
and current upsets your boat
don't waiste those tears on what might have been
just lay on your back and float.
"The silver is mine and the gold is mine,' declares the LORD GOD Almighty."
Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip, That started in a plastic slab, on the convention hall floor. The dealer was an acknowledged grading pro, as was his partner too. Five plastic slabs set sail that day for a 1 day submission. A 1 day submission.
The graders started getting tight, too tight the dealers claimed. If we don’t get some crossovers or upgrades, no money will we make. No money will we make. The plastic slabs they all landed, inside of bodybags, …
here at “Homerunhall’s Table”.
Now this is the tale of the dealers, they're in for a hard, hard time, if they submit to PCGS, it's an uphill climb. Homerunhall and his graders, will do their very best, to make the dealers uncomfortable, in the convention hall. No CAM, no RED, no upgrades, not a single crossover, just like 3rd tier services, the grades aren’t close to right. So join us here each show my friends, you're sure to get a smile, from the dealers grumbling, not far from "Homerunhall’s Table."

buy the coin that has no hair?
His name is Ike, and you might like,
but some are downright rare!
And even though it's just a dollar,
the asking price will make you holler.
But despite the greed, it's what you need
to make your set stand taller!
So in the end you'll pony up,
and pay the man his money.
Your friends on here will understand,
but good luck with your honey!
buy the coin that has no hair?
I must decline. I do not like
That bland clad dollar called an Ike.
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.
Would you, could you in a box?
Would you, could you with a fox?
Kranky--
I do not like this sad, clad Ike
I do not like it--take a hike!
Some collectors even drool.
So just buy one and you will see,
that hair or no, you'll soon want three!
When my brain is kind of dim
I'm tired and I'm yawning
With the coffee kicking in
I guess I'll write a poem
Just to get my mind in gear
It has to be about a coin
To post a poem 'round here
Coins are so heroic
So historic, so refined...
But never show the forum one
They'll ripeth your behind.
But then decides not to.
If I ultimately decide to never return...
I'll disappear like a fart in the wind.
I think it makes a perfect 50th post to this thread.
