Happy St. Paddy's Day

Boosibri

Post an Irish coin, a green coin, or a coin purchased while under the influence. I'm going to the St Patrick's Day parade in Dublin with my four year old tomorrow. Should be fun!



Irish







Green (Green Irish in an OGH, three for one)







I was probably drinking when I pulled the trigger on this one, or at least I had a drink after I wrote the check:

I will be at a very large Irish American celebration in Scranton, Pa, the town of my birth. Dublin, it's not. But coming from a 100% Irish heritage (all of my great-grandparents born in Ireland, and all of my grandparents born in the U.S.), I have a tremendous fondness for my Irish traditions, and for Ireland's coinage.

That is one of the nicest gunmoney pieces I've seen, Boosibri.

This green one should match up with the colors of Ireland in the spring:

Nothing Irish guess we'll have to fix that soon.

Thank CRO for that one, I picked this MS62 up at the last Dublin show.

I don't have any Irish coins. It would upset grandma.

I'm Scottish and apparently the Scots and Irish don't like each other.
I was born 15 minutes after midnight on March 18 which made grandma happy because she didn't want a grandson who was born on St. Patrick's Day.

The only green I have is a CAC sticker.

The 1928 inaugural set of Proof coins of The Irish Free State. Erin go Bragh !

This is the greenest Walker that I've EVER seen. It DOES NOT belong to me. Not sure who currently owns it. CRO handled it more recently. It is from the Newman sale and humorously belonged to Col. EHR Green! These are pics from the original sale.



When I was younger we'd do St. Patty's day (and everything else) hard and heavy---FULL BORE! We'd go early in the morn' for 'kegs and eggs'. LOL Then we'd nurse a hangover all the next day.



I'm older and mellower, now, so my woman and I will likely just go out for a nice corned beef and fried potato dinner.



Erin Go Bragh!!

You know, maybe we could use a St. Patrick's wandering the bourse at major coin shows. After all, he theoretically got rid of all the snakes...

Here are a couple of Irish Counterfeit Halfpennies. Looks like some beer may have been consumed before these were produced

In 1966 I was living in California and had been ordering coins from various foreign banks and mints.

I ordered two of the Ireland 1966 Patrick Pearse 10-shilling silver coins from the Central Bank of Ireland,
they were sent to me via registered mail, and arrived in California on June 6, 1966.

The envelope they came in:



The note which came with the coins:



One of the coins:


Ireland 10 Shillings 1966 Patrick Pearse

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!!

Been jamming all day to Shamrock Radio on iHeart Radio.

I spotted a couple of 1990 ECU Irish coins in Proof last week -
needless to say they are on their way to me to be included in
a three piece set - 50 ECU - Gold { I have an ANACS PF 68 }
and now have the 10 & 5 ECU Silver Proofs.

I have "copied" another 50 ECU - as I can't find my images:







If possible, I'd like to have a three coin holder so I can display all of these coins conveniently -
As I am not concerned about a Registry standing - which TPG is still making Multiple Coin Holders ??

Here's one I got. For a 5 center I thought the color was unusual in a way that I like.

I would just like to take this opportunity to repeat my preference... Green folding money... FRN's in today's vernacular.... IMO green on coins is not a good thing.... Cheers, RickO

No paddy fingers now. Not 100% sure what that means. I am watching the Quite Man right now. I am forced to watch it every St. Patrick’s day and each time I wonder once again what that means. It’s G rated movie so that limits the possibilities.

If its anything like in the South Park episode last nite, I think its if you see someone not wearing green, you pinch 'em. 1st time I ever heard of that tho.
But whadda I know? I got the luck of the Polish. Tickle me kielbasi.

I didn't really know about it myself until some years back, when Eric Li Cheung gave a presentation to our coin club.
