I hit the big 55 tomorrow.....
Show me a nice 1952 coin. Hopefully something in better shape then me. Or something in an AU-55!
It has been a wild ride. Ski bum, Flyfishing guide, criminal investigator, coin dealer, father, husband, son, care giver and human target, and the list goes on. It has been a tough year, my only nephew died while we were at Philmont Scout Ranch this summer of a brain tumor. His mom, my sister is dying of cancer too and we're hoping she makes it to Christmas. My 88 year old dad, who was awarded the Silver Star in WWII, fell and broke his hip at the airport a couple of months ago, because the TSA insisted he remove his shoes at security. I still have 4 kids at home, a couple that require some extra care, but I wouldn't trade them for all the Trade Dollars in China. (although I'd have to think hard if I were offered that PCGS SP-69 1793 Large Cent...)
I still get up at 5am every morning to fix breakfast for my wife and kids before they head to work and school. Yes, it's been a wild ride so far, but the best is yet to come!

I used to be somebody, now I'm just a coin collector.
Recipient of the coveted "You Suck" award, April 2009 for cherrypicking a 1833 CBHD LM-5, and April 2022 for a 1835 LM-12, and again in Aug 2012 for picking off a 1952 FS-902.

No Way Out: Stimulus and Money Printing Are the Only Path Left
I don't own any 1952 coins... there just too young.
Edited to add my AU55:
I have a few 1952 coins around here somewhere, it's the wifes birth year, problem is I don't have them on my laptop.
Anthooo once again HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Hopefully your next year will be better than the last. Have a great day.
Mines the 3rd, 53 I'll be...
Aren't there some significant tax benefits about the age 55? Like in real estate, something to do with capital gains exemption?
Apropos of the coin posse/aka caca: "The longer he spoke of his honor, the tighter I held to my purse."
