What's the title of your thesis?

Well, imagine this as you reflect on the academic year. I walked into my old timey coin store guys place today and ask if they ever got those indians in...the owner tells me yeah but most of it is ms 65/64 stuff, not what you collect. He said he probably wouldn't have any 61/62 stuff in for a few weeks because he just sent a bunch of raw stuff in. But he said that he did just happen to have something I might like. So he starts talking about a 1914p 62pcgs $5 that's in the right holder. He said it's the only one he has seen in years and asks me if I'm interested. Imagine shortness of breath, light foaming along the corners of the mouth twitchy fingers and dialated eyes while he walks back to get the coin. The lowest mintage of any p $5, I told him, and he tells me that is not what is important about this coin. He said there have only be 50 slabbed at 62...hummm. Hee hee, like a dog eating a meat sammich! So, I got a new member for my tribe but no scans till next week.

Sure, you presented your thesis, but did the committee accepted it as adequate for you to move on?

coinlieutenant

Yes...of course!

No longer mine.

Congradulations on your thesis defense.. What was the title? Did the usual idiot committee member from another department at least ask a coin question?

My newest addition. Thanks to Rick Kay. Trouble is it kinda makes my other coins look second rate.

Hi coinlieutenant. What was your receive your masters in? I assume it was a masters since you have a thesis. I presented my PhD dissertation this past April.

Here is my coin. A bright MS65 Fh 1929-S quarter.

Congratulations!!

Here's a pretty one with a local (for you) theme ... never have quite got the color right on this photo though

coinlieutenant

No...no coin questions unfortunately.

My masters was a dual masters actually....one in physical oceanography, one in meteorology.

Thanks for the nice coins guys. Excellent pics too.
