I have to take this opportunity to share this photo of my family and me with the aforementioned Mr. Norris. My comment on this day was, "What do you do when Chuck Norris puts his arm around your wife? Nothing...absolutely nothing."

I sparred with Bill 'superfoot' Wallace once.
Bill Wallace is my all time favorite. Not to slight Chuck, also a great guy......
Saw Wallace interview Manute Bol one time. He spun around and had his foot right in Bol's face. Not an easy task for a face that is 7' 7" above ground.
Chuck Norris NEVER drips mustard on his Hawaiin shirt ... that's just blood spatter from the last yellow-bellied dude that tried to sell him a counterfeit coin. Unless, of course, YOU want to tell him that he dripped mustard on his Hawaiin shirt.
little known fact...CPG actually stands for.....Chuck's Permission Granted..... I always love the grades my coins are assigned........I really do....they're always exactly right Chuck......
Chuck is so fast that when he jumps up and down his change levitates so he can make change and then he catches it back in his pocket..... the opposite pocket. He figures it's a waste of time to wait for it to drop when he can turn around and start walking before that.

Stupid trivia. My oldest 2 children studied Karate under Chuck Norris's program at their school. He personally awarded them their belts. Both kids got extra spending money be being extras on the Walker Texas Ranger TV program. One time, I was late walking from the parking lot into the school for a belt award ceremony, and a man came up to me and asked if I knew where the awards were being presented. It was Clarence Gilyard, the other star of the show. We just walked and chatted for a while.
Chuck Norris once graded 10,000 California Fractional gold coins in a single night in his suite AT The Hotel California, and then left without checking out.

Why did they stop making beautiful Walkers and start minting those ugly Franklins in 1948? Chuck Norris wished for it at his 8th birthday party.
Chuck Norris made his first PCGS submission the other day, and they finally expanded the grading scale from 70 to 100.
Sigh........Chuck Norris won the PCGS grading contest again- because everyone else withdrew.
How did someone's smashed finger end up inside a PCGS MS-66 slab?! Oh, never mind- it says Chuck Norris Collection on the label.

Chuck Norris buys toned coins, but they immediately turn a pale white after they see him. He then retones them himself - in shades of black and blue.
That's a great picture!

When Chuck submits to CAC; he doesn't get green or gold----he gets diamond stickers.

Chuck Norris can order all the coins he wants from the US MInt. Who's going to tell him there is a household limit?
When the mint needs coins they call on Chuck to punch them out😂
Maybe that’s why everything goes on back order he can’t be everywhere.
