    Wybrit's coin is so ugly that Krause had to put a disclaimer in their book of world coins to prevent the weak of heart from looking at it.

    Wybrit's coin is sooooo ugly, that United States Customs had the coin deported in an attempt to prevent an international incident.

    Wybrit's coin was soooo ugly that my mom told me that if I stared at it too long, my face would stick that way. What does mom know anyway?

    Wybrit's coin is so ugly that a pinup of Maggie Thatcher modeling lingerie would be appealing in comparison.

    Persistance has paid off for me more than once. I got a very good job years ago because I kept going back to see if the position had been filled.
    Thanks Wybrit, this is a great and fun place. Even though I don't post much here I read most of everything. I guess I feel like I don't know enough and have anything to offer that people would want to read. I'll PM my address to you.

    Friday's mail revealed a 1957 Half Penny, nice coin Wybrit. I like surprises and as it turned out I didn't have that one. I have a "I think I'll get that one too." kind of collection when I paw through the basket at one of my coin shops I go to once in awhile. When you get enough of them it starts to look like a collection. Thanks wybrit for the giveaway..
