One of those days I'm glad I went . . .

ajaan

to the local coin show. I was debating whether to go or not, Mrs. ajaan wanted me to but up the Christmas lights. I went and I was able to fill 9 holes in my Canadian 50c collection (1870-1936) including a borderline G 1870.

Don 1: Kelly 8567.

Change that to Don 0: I put the lights up during the Bills game. I didn't miss much.

How 'bout an 1872-H 50c? I have one (I think that's the date). Vickie's head is rather... well ventilated, if you knowhutimean. I bought the thing in an ANACS "VG details/Net FR02/holed" slab. Things that make you go Hmmm...

ajaan

Already have a non-ventilated one, thanks.

Geez, that's pretty early to be putting up Christmas lights. But then again, you may be snowed in by the time another week passes.

Here in NC, you would definately be considered a redneck.

ajaan

Last year we, read I, didn't get the lights up because it snowed early and often. This year Kelly didn't want to take any chances. Besides, the temp today was 50°, much better than putting them up in Dec when it can be really cold.

50 degrees there is a November heatwave isn't it?

ajaan

Earlier in the week it was 20° with wind.

hey, just put the lights on the carved pumkin that's still sitting there and save some time....

ajaan

Didn't get around to carving, or even buying, a pumpkin this year.
