In the fetid miasma of Coinalot, King ArtR and his wise (and not so wise)
Council of knights, dazed and Royal advisers are pondering a problem of import.
King ArtR....My merry men, how are we to celebrate and honor the Official 10th Anniversary
of the Gold Pantaloon.
Sir Mad Marty.. Er! sire, hath we not already announced yesteryear,as the 10th Anniversary of
the Gold Pantaloon.
Kink ArtR....SILENCE! confound you Mad Marty, are you trying to ROIL THE ROYAL ROIDS?
I doth need a solution, I do not need a reaffirmation of the problem at hand.
Sir Featherbottom....Sire, why not call it the 10A Anniversary. That's the way they differentiate
so Called Dollars when a new variety is discovered?
Sir Airplanenut.....Ooh, Ooh, sir, here sire.....I have a solution.
Why not create an inverted reverse proof on one side and a regular proof on the other side of
the coin. Then on the rim, we make it an imprinted mint state satin finish. We can then put the coin in
a box ,made up of ground up , compressed and polished pecan shells with a a lovely maroon silk liner.
King ArtR....Sir airplain nut, doth thee swim?
Sir Airplanenut...Oh yes sire.
King ArtR....Can you swim really , really well?
Sir airplanenut....Oh yes Sire. I can swim really, really good.
King ArtR.....Splendid. Guards, take yon young knight and introduce him
to the loving caress of the catapult. Perhaps a nice brisk swim in the Bay of E
will jump start......YOUR BRAIN!
What I doth need is a Q D Bowers!
Sir Bear....Sire QDB is not available.
King ArtR....Well, what hath we as a substitute?
Sir Bear....Oh sire, there always is the man himself,
Sir David of Hall.
King ArtR....You mean the man that turns Plastic into gold?
The Man that takes walks down memory Lane? The Man who
GASP,.......likes to eat cold Italian Fare?
Sir Bear....Sire, the very same man.
Part 2 of this tale of mystery will be continued on the weekend.
In the next chapter, we shall see
....What is to become of the Gold Pantaloon's 10th Anniversary Celebration
....What will Sir David of Hall have to say to the King and the assembled Royal Court?
.....Will Sir Airplanenut survive his swim in the icy Bay of E?
Stay tuned in and find out.
PART 2 10th Anniversary of the Gold Pantaloon
We return to the Royal Court of Coinalot once again, to hear what the Coin Miester himself
has to say about the vexing matter at hand.
King ArtR : Sir David of Hall, Mint Master, Coin Meister and Master of Prestidigitation extraordinaire,
please report to the Court on the matter at hand.
Sir David of Hall : Well Sire, in the last week 700 issues are up and 1500 issues are down. Classic Commems
seem to be extremely undervalued and most coins series are holding up fairly well.
King ArtR : Confound it man, I have not asked thee for a stock report, I asked thee to report on the 10th Anniversary
of the Gold Pantaloon. Spit it out man or are thee too, destined for the Royal Catapult.
Sir Louis : Catapult, Catapult, Yaaaaaahhhhhhh!
King ArtR : Silence in the Court ! That includeth you, Sir Louis the Loud.
Sir David of Hall : Well Sire, We could designate the 10th year issue as First Strikes!
King ArtR : Done that!
Sir David of Hall : Well, how about second strikes?
King ArtR : Been there.
Sir David of Hall : How about a piefort, reverse inverted Proof obverse with Roman numerals
imprinted on the edge, with a satin edge finish and a reverse that is the exact reverse
of the obverse. We place the coin in a faux pine box made of crushed pecan shells with a
silk liner of Royal Purple, made from toad stool droppings. Then we include a certificate
of authenticity authorized by your Majesty as the genuine, no fooling around real mcCoy 10th
Anniversary Royal Gold Pantaloon. I was going to recommend that we use Billy Mays to sell this
Cra.......uh, Royal Coin, but unfortunately, he just died.
Sir Speety : Zounds, sounds like a plan, like a plan! The Man has a plan!
King ArtR : Sir Speety, when I need your opinion, I will give you one!Now Sir David, will we make any money on this
plan of yours.
Sir David of Hall : Oh yes Sire. The cost to mint such a coin would only cost 12 piffiks making the remainder of the sale price
pure profit.
King ArtR : Somehow, I feel that we need some extra inducement, to get the sucke......I mean, the peasants to purchase the coin.
Sir Julio : I say, are we to supp on pheasants tonight?
King ArtR : If this Court had half a brain, it would be lonely.
Sir Bear : Give em jelly donuts with the purchase of each coin.
King ArtR: Hmm, our fuzzy little bear may be on to some thing. Something to do with food perhaps.
Suddenly a sound is heard in the room. SLURP, PLOP, SLURP, PLOP. Why it is Sir Airplanut returning
from his swim in the Bay of E. He is wet, cold, tired and doth not look happy. Not happy at all.
Sir Speety: I have it , I have it!
King ArtR: What ever it is you have, I hope it isn't contagious.
Sir Speety : No sire , it's an idea that I have.
King ArtR: How truly wonderful, an Idea.Perhaps I shall notify the media...... !Alright, spit it out man, spit it out!
Sir Speety : Sire, the ANA Show is coming to The Coinalot Convention Hall right? So everyone that buys one of
the Special Golden Pantaloons gets invited to a Royal lunch as a guest of your majesty. We could have
borscht , blintzes, and brisket with little Irish Potatoes, and desert.
Sir Bear : Could the desert be raspberry jelly donuts? Pleeaaazzzzzzzz ?
King ArtR : Sir Bear, If you can't contain your outbursts in that well stuffed pelt of yours, Perhaps you can join Sir Airplainut
For a cool swim in the Bay of E...... By Royal Decree, the plan of Sir David of Hall for the Special Royal Golden Pantaloon
is hereby approved.
The Court is Adjourned.
