If you could be burried with one coin what would it be?

Planchet

When it comes time for you to meet your maker, if you could be burried with one coin what would it be?

my last cent.....

AMRC

My makers are both passed. But I have often thought about what I would want with me. And then I think about what a shame it would be to take anything with me at all. It is not like I am really going to miss it.

I would rather leave my coins to my family. Where I'm going, a coin would probably melt.

Lets see.........I'm 61 so I guess I'd like to be buried with a 2050 nickel.

notwilight

I'm buried in quite a few coins right now...

tightbudget

A French 20 Franc gold coin with the angel.

291fifth

A pointless waste of money - they are strictly the province of the living. No coins wanted.

renomedphys

A couple of chain cents links up over my eyelids would do fine.

Dokis

Some of those chocolate gold coins from Israel. Never know what the food is like on the other side.

To the thread starter:

Did you enjoy "owning" that 1 favorite coin of yours? Did it bring you happiness and joy the entire time you had the pleasure of "owning" it? The reason I put that word in quotations is that we really never "own" anything. When it comes to coins especially, we are simply long term curators. It is our job/mission....at least it should be....to protect and preserve these coins so that future coin collectors may experience the same gratifying feelings that we have been able to feel. To bury a coin with your corpse would be to commit numismatic sin...or at the very least extreme selfishness.

Rumor has it that a zinc cent will decompose right before your eyes.

Yep...

dsessom

Nothing. In fact, I want to be stripped of all valuables and buried naked in a $100 pine box, or better yet, be cremated on a funeral pire like the Norse people used to do. That would be cool.

An obulus, in case the ancient Greeks were right and you have to pay passage to the ferryman Charon.

Type2

I cant pick one so I am not going to die.

Bear

I ain't going unless I have a hot pastrami on rye in my hand,

a bottle of cream soda by my side and a good, crisp, garlic pickle

in my mouth. Also I want the coffin filled to the brim, with jelly

donuts in assorted flavors and toppings.

mumu

I would like to be burried in a PCGS slab-like coffin.

Spiff

Probably one of my UHR since it's my favorite coin maybe put one on each eye so i can cross the river

airplanenut

I'd need something non-metal...

334b. His fare is not accepted in the great ship;
334c. the palace of the Great cannot ward him off from the way of the œḥd.w-stars.
335a. Behold, therefore, N. has attained the heights of heaven.

445a. To say: O Hrti of Nsȝ.t, ferryman of the ’Iḳh.t-boat, made by Khnum,
445b. bring this (boat) to N. N. is Seker of R-Œtȝ.w.
445c. N. is on the way to the place of Seker, chief of Pdw-š.
445d. It is our brother who is bringing this (boat) for these bridge-girderers (?) of the desert.

This is some of the oldest writing in the world but gets scant attention. It is usually interpreted to be incantation.

I have no clue what a "fare" might be. I doubt it's a token. Most of the rest seems easy enough to figure out.

The Greeks got most of their pantheon from the Egyptian enneads.

"Buried" has a single "R" in it.

I have several religious art rounds - one with a nice cross, another with the Lord's prayer, and forgot what other is. One or two of these would be nice -- I do like a simple cross.

Ok but no guaranteed replacement if you tone later.

Nothing... how ridiculous. When you are dead, you are DEAD!!! For some reason, many peoply do not seem to understand the finality of death. Cheers, RickO

From what I've read, a lot of people are already buried with their coins....

Oh I understand that finality but I also understand about having a little fun discussing stupid stuff!

"I'm buried in quite a few coins right now... "



Probably too early for the 'post of the year', but that's the best one I've heard yet, anyway.

I would think it a shame to deprive future collectors of the enjoyment of owning any of my coins by burying them. Instead, I would like to be buried with a bottle of my favorite scotch, preferably one that has not been passed through any of my friends kidneys first.
