Rule #1
Post of picture of a sign that is "indirectly" numismatic related. Don't care if it's a street sign, store sign, real estate sign, advertisement, ... anything in print is fine. Stuff like "Fred's Coin Shop" is direct and won't do. I posted some images below to show what I'm talking about.
edit:
Prizes-
These aren't in any order and the scans aren't the best. I have ten prizes to give away. You can enter as many times as you want, but I'll only count each member once. The first winner gets to pick from all 10, the next from the remaining 9, and so on. It would be nice if each winner could post his/her selection and the remaining list of prizes. This way the next winner can choose and we can keep moving. We'll work it out somehow. The winners should send me a PM with a mailing address.
prize#1
1921-D VAM 1L Morgan. Die break at M on reverse. Looks like it may have been slightly cleaned.
prize#2
1926-S VAM 5 Peace dollar. Top 50 with the extra berry on reverse.
prize#3
Three circulated Washington quarters from 1951. P, D, and S mints.
prize#4
1960 Proof Set.
prize#5
Set of three circulated Barber coins. 10c, 25c, and 50c.
prize#6
Brothel token from Virginia City.
prize#7
Four circulated Franklin Halves from Denver. Four different years.
prize#8
1819 Large Cent
prize#9
Nine Liberty Head (Mercury) dimes. All different dates/mints.
prize#10
Carver/Washington Commemorative Half.
The contest will end on 10/28 at midnight EST. I probably won't be able to draw the winners until late Saturday. Good luck!
UPDATE:
Just realized that I have no plastic listed and the only Morgan is circulated. I'll take a few of the most creative images and randomly select a winner for this 1881-S MS63 PCGS Morgan.
UPDATE 10/31/2005:
WINNERS:
Sorry for the delay. Lost power for five days due to a storm in the northeast last week. Got it back on Saturday, but am still catching up.
Great pictures from everyone! I took a dozen of my favorite posts, selected the bonus winner for the 81-S Morgan, put the dozen back in the hat for the other ten prizes.
Here's the list. Please send me a PM with a mailing address and your selection.
Winner #1 (RalphP13) should select from the 10 prizes, send me a PM, post his prize selection in this thread, and let the next winner select from the remaining 9 prizes, etc...

TOP 50 PEACE VAMS
Your story reminded me of an e-mail I received lately:
Jack took a long look at his speedometer before slowing down: 73 in a 55 zone. Fourth time in as many months. How could a guy get caught so often?
When his car had slowed to 10 miles an hour, Jack pulled over, but only partially. Let the cop worry about the potential traffic hazard. Maybe some other car will tweak his backside with a mirror. The cop was stepping out of his car, the big pad in hand.
Bob? Bob from Church? Jack sunk farther into his trench coat. This was worse than the coming ticket. A cop catching a guy from his own church. A guy who happened to be a little eager to get home after a long day at the office. A guy he was about to play golf with tomorrow.
Jumping out of the car, he approached a man he saw every Sunday, a man he'd never seen in uniform.
"Hi, Bob. Fancy meeting you like this."
"Hello, Jack." No smile.
"Guess you caught me red-handed in a rush to see my wife and kids."
"Yeah, I guess." Bob seemed uncertain. Good.
"I've seen some long days at the office lately. I'm afraid I bent the rules a bit -just this once."
Jack toed at a pebble on the pavement. "Diane said something about roast beef and potatoes tonight. Know what I mean?" "I know what you mean. I also know that you have a reputation in our precinct ." Ouch. This was not going in the right direction. Time to change tactics.
"What'd you clock me at?"
"Seventy. Would you sit back in your car please?"
"Now wait a minute here, Bob. I checked as soon as saw you. I was barely nudging 65." The lie seemed to come easier with every ticket.
"Please, Jack, in the car"
Flustered, Jack hunched himself through the still-open door. Slamming it shut, he stared at the dashboard. He was in no rush to open the window.
The minutes ticked by. Bob scribbled away on the pad..
Why hadn't he asked for a driver's license?
Whatever the reason, it would be a month of Sundays before Jack ever sat near this cop again. A tap on the door jerked his head to the left. There was Bob, a folded paper in hand Jack rolled down the window a mere two inches, just enough room for Bob to pass him the slip.
"Thanks." Jack could not quite keep the sneer out of his voice.
Bob returned to his police car without a word. Jack watched his retreat in the mirror. Jack unfolded the sheet of paper. How much was this one going to cost?
Wait a minute. What was this? Some kind of joke?
Certainly not a ticket. Jack began to read:
"Dear Jack, Once upon a time I had a daughter. She was six when killed by a car. You guessed it- a speeding driver. A fine and three months in jail, and the man was free. Free to hug his daughters, all three of them. I only had one, and I'm going to have to wait until Heaven before I can ever hug her again.
A thousand times I've tried to forgive that man.. A thousand times I thought I had. Maybe I did, but I need to do it again. Even now. Pray for me. And be careful, Jack, my son is all I have left."
"Bob"
Jack turned around in time to see Bob's car pull away and head down the road. Jack watched until it disappeared. A full 15 minutes later, he too, pulled away and drove slowly home, praying for forgiveness and hugging a surprised wife and kids when he arrived.
Life is precious. Handle with care. This is an important message; please pass it along to your friends. Drive safely and carefully. Remember, cars are not the only things recalled by their maker.
