AbesNeighbor · March 31, 2003 7:40AM

WOW Russ!

That is a beautiful coin!

Dark Sider!!!

It commemorates the gift of 20,000 tulip bulbs from Princess Juliana of the Netherlands. The gift became the foundation of the annual tulip fesival in Ottawa.

MadMarty · March 31, 2003 7:44AM

Russ, you suck!!!

Purdy coin!!!

nucklehead · March 31, 2003 7:44AM

Interseting reverse, very artsy, I like it.

jd4science · March 31, 2003 7:45AM

Wow. It that gold on the tulip?

Justin

StillLurking · March 31, 2003 7:47AM

Lori · March 31, 2003 7:49AM

Are you going to display it on your organ,...............or was it a piano?Which is it?

MrEureka · March 31, 2003 9:47AM

This thread illustrates the fact that tulipmania has arrived in the modern coin market!

StillLurking · March 31, 2003 9:52AM

Tulipmania

ClausUrch · March 31, 2003 9:52AM

The tulip is nice but what is Shriver doing on the obverse???

Bear · March 31, 2003 9:54AM

Why cant the US Mint make beautiful coins like that???

Just a lovely coin Russ.

VonZipper · March 31, 2003 9:56AM

I wish the mint could produce coins like canada. The fact remains that we have a foreign coin crossing the border illegally into PCGS country with no proper papers, therefore Russ is hereby banned from the forums forever.

ksteelheader · March 31, 2003 9:59AM

I second what bear said.............Ken

dldallen · March 31, 2003 10:02AM

Tulip?! Are you sure that isn't a PANSY - like most of the Canadian politicos?

Pretty coin, wrong forum, VERY bad timing! Enjoy it anyway Russ. Dave

The Force grows within you...

trozau · March 31, 2003 10:14AM

Q: What is better than a rose on a piano?

A: Tulips on an organ

Nice tulips!

ursabear · March 31, 2003 11:32AM

I seriously tried to get one, but they were sold out already.

Russ, very cool, very nice!

wallstreetman · March 31, 2003 11:45AM

Nice coin Russ, I was looking at the Alberta Rose, largest Gold coin theyve ever made, now sold out! Whats the mintage, the Rose was 2002!

gsaguy · March 31, 2003 12:31PM

Trozau,

Be careful....Carol lurks.

Russ: I recently picked up a nice set of Canadian five-centers and am awaiting the freebie grade on a Canadian dollar, as well, so ... I feel your pain, at least on the lightside ... nice folks over on the darkside, though.

NumisEd · March 31, 2003 5:35PM

Rusty, why? Why? Why?

That is NOT a coin. It's a medal or something. That slug is just a step above a colorized state quarter. The funny thing is that everyone so far took you seriously. I, in my infinite wisdom, know that you are being sarcastic as usual. I know that you despise this type of coin-wannabe just as much as I. Thanks for the laugh and subsequent puke session.

dorkkarl · March 31, 2003 7:40PM

is that a-t???

StillLurking · March 31, 2003 8:46PM

wallstreetman, mintage was 20,000. Issue price was $24.95.

cosmicdebris · April 4, 2003 7:23AM

Look at what you made me do.

Linky-Poo

wingedliberty · April 4, 2003 7:31AM

Why would you get banished for a civilized post.
An excellent coin.

Brian.

Cockney · April 4, 2003 7:43AM

Put your tulips a little closer to the phone, and lets pretend that we're together all alone.

Russ · April 4, 2003 8:04AM

Cosmic,

Same seller I got mine from. You got yours for $2.90 less, though. Damn, I feel ripped off.

Russ, NCNE

cosmicdebris · April 4, 2003 8:05AM

Cool a bargain on top of it.

MadMonk · April 4, 2003 10:09PM

Nice coin Russ.

I sure hope I don't get banished from the US Coin forum for this!
