They're coming!

They’re coming with questions on coins they don’t know.
They’re eager for answers– what’s this mean-what’s it show?
Is it obverse or reverse, is it silver or gold?
My God it’s inexpensive– it’s over 200 years old!
They’re coming from Light so bright they were blind
To the glory of the Darkside and what they might find.
They’re used to paying astronomical prices
for coins struck in millions with mint frost devices.
So what do they think when offered for sale
an old coin full of luster and proof-like detail,
with colors that put a morgan dollar to shame,
at a price so small it sets their minds all aflame.
“Why there’s real value in this GB Maundy four P,
while I’m at it, I’ll also take 1, 2, and three.”
“Gothic crown, godless florin, I’ll take one of each,
good lord these world coins are really quite cheap.”
So they’re coming around to chat every day,
these U.S. forum members who now want to play
with Stivers and Guilders, Florins and Francs,
Thaler’s and schillings from a German Reichsbank.
Not coins from the U.S. but from all over the world
as PCGS world coin forum flies its flags all unfurled.
