    Seeing that I like Bust Dollars,

    My coins would tell me all kinds of stuff that I don't know.

    But,I would be willing to learnimage.

    If my favorite coin could talk it would say :

    "Please grade me, please give me attribution, please say I'm different than the seven hundred, sixty- seven million, one hundred and forty thousand other business strikes that were born that year... you know I was a premie baby (8 weeks early)... and only a dozen 24K gold ones match us 5500 ... Give me my due according to my due date...".

    in the meantime, it will just sit quietly waiting for an answer from the fox in the chicken coup.

  • My favorite coin would say ...

    "Hey I was comfortable in that mint bag for nearly 100 years with a 1000 of my sister's. What's the big deal selling me to some kid for $5 bucks whose only going to lose me in week"

    30 years later she's saying:

    "OK, he didn't lose me, in fact this cool book he put me into has given me a nice color, and I'm still in real good company".

    Mine would say, "you paid too much, you fool!"

    "Here I am with a damn stupid owner and I'll never get away till he can get his money back and by that time he'll be dead!!"
    "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."

    Mine has led a pretty sheltered life, spending it with just a few owners (less than 10) over nearly a century of existence.

    Besides spending a little over a decade in Egypt, it has spent its entire life on the east coast, (OK, a little time in Ohio and a little time in California).

    It never got to go out and spend any time in commerce and has always been treasured by its owners.

    It has never gotten to see the wonders of encapsulation. What will they call me? Can I be better? Does it matter?

    I am sure the coin is quite happy being in the company of many others that were designed by the same artist that designed him.

    I firmly believe in numismatics as the world's greatest hobby, but recognize that this is a luxury and without collectors, we can all spend/melt our collections/inventories.
