Watching "Dear John"- Coin Related

TexasNationals

Alot of coin references from beginning to end and history of coins built int too. Kind of neat, but a stretch, when the hottie meets the dad she picks up a raw coin and ask what it is, he grabs it back and wipes it on flannel shirt to remove the finger prints and says Sacajawea Mule.

The dads favorite coin is a 1978 Jefferson mule, they showed it, obvious lathe job, but neat. The dealer they showed it to offered $20, they took it to a second legit dealer, pulled an article out that said the $4000 mule!

Glad I saw that movie on cable TV for free...if I had paid to see it at a movie theatre, I would have asked for my money back. LOL

Frankly, I think in a way it denigrated coin collecting, which ticked me off. Good ol' Hollywood...they often glamorize smoking, drinking, gambling, drugs, etc, but oh my goodness that "terrible" father for spending all that time and money on coins. Well, that's Hollywood for ya. LOL

Dude no one here other than, you, me and Mr. Paseo know what the heck that is

I have Cinemax or Showtime or whatever free this weekend and as I cleaned my Sterling Mk-4 L3 A2 SMG I watched it and I though it was interesting. I can appreciate romance and I have had friends and have had girlfriends dump me in the same fashion, deployed in Afg. and Iraq so I wanted to see what he did in the end. True men know they are true men and need no point ovary fingers at other men, get in mam?

I went to high school with Henry Thomas, who is in the movie (he also played Elliott in E.T.). I've tried watching 'Dear John' several times, but haven't been able to get through it. I did see the part where the dad gets into coin collecting, when his son discovers the Jefferson mule, and I found that entertaining...
