Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of...... Coins???

Sure why not, makes sense to me. I'm happy when looking at nice coins, so, it works.

While we're at it post a coin that makes you happy.

Change of pace - owning this set of three makes me happy.

Owned this until last summer PCGS PR-63 (no CAM - go figure); had to sell it to make ends meet. Sometimes the pursuit of .... takes an ugly turn.

Love Longacre's "Flying Eagle".

It is perhaps a little known fact that when my favorite American, Thomas Jefferson, wrote those most unforgettable words, his original prose caused some dissention among the founding fathers, when he wrote:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of ... property."

That's right, the original Jefferson text included the word 'property', and not 'happiness'. This was among several changes that the other signers felt necessary, as they thought 'property' to be too materialistic.

So since it is very much in the spirit of the original wording, why not indeed? Pursue those coins, enjoy your hobby, and don't be the least bit apologetic about it. After all, we are merely preserving pieces of our common heritage. Enjoy!

Just remember, you may have the right to pursue Happiness and/or coins, but there is no promise or guarantee that you will ever succeed in achieving or acquiring them.
