It's Saturday. I've got my daughter off to ballet, coffee in hand as I sit in the parking lot relaxing with thoughts on the hobby.

Sounds like best day ever!
I guess we’re happy bears out in sunny Cali.

two of my favorites from @DCW

Alot of people consider the quarter size Lindenmueller tokens quintessential to the CWT series. The iconic depiction of Gustavus Lindenmueller himself graces the obverse, sporting the Duck Dynasty beard. In copper, they have to be the most common Civil War token out there. Perhaps minted into the hundreds of thousands. Not so in brass, where examples like this one come few and far between with only a handful known. This has to be the finest example extant, a full MS65 gem loaded with eye appeal, and having been locked away in the personal collection of Rich Rossa and Q. David Bowers.
If you wanted just one example of this famous token for a special collection, this one would be hard to beat.

This is my favorite coin, I wanted it since I was 8 years old having seen it in the Red Book and thinking that I could never afford to own one

PS
I'm on my fifth cup of coffee today.

Last I checked it’s the highest graded for the date. I love the color on this one and has resided in my collection for many years.

The bottomless Yeti. Keeps coffee warm and grandpa going 😉

I been to Virginia city more times than I can count over my lifetime. The Bucket of blood saloon and the history of the Comstock load of silver is very intriguing and interesting. A good read to if ya want to read the book, “Saga of the Comstock load.” Most all of the miners were cussing the blue dust that would stick to the gold they were looking for. The blue dust was silver. The only guy that knew it was silver was a Mexican that was running around saying, Muchas Palatas, that means MUCH SILVER but nobody understood what he was saying.
A cool metal that brings back good memories.

Yeah, here's one from Carson city 😅

On its way, hopefully my post will not jinx safe delivery

I've always liked this Conder Token and someday I'll get a better example. Love the spiral effect!

I am having my Sunday morning coffee, and perusing my LCS purchases from yesterday. The 1996-S National Community Service Commemorative Silver Dollar was an impulse buy. Couldn't pass it up for $21.75. Also picked up an 1898-S "cull" silver dollar to add to the tube. And, one "junk" 1928-D SLQ.

Here's one for the Colorado crowd

I love the mountain and mining scene on this one.

I just picked this one up from a friend of mine. Thank you Jeremy
This coin is a knockout.

another FAVE ... favorite beverage instead of coffee !!!

Here’s another one I like a lot. Last cup a coffee last post. Then back to the game.

In between games now and it’s late afternoon. I just want to show this new addition to my collection.
Thank you Jeremy👌

In Honor of all the weird Wheaties we've been privileged to contemplate here on the forum this week (and every week)...🤯

This pup came home to me this week on the right date, just the wrong denomination:

Posted this in another thread, but this is what I was enjoying over coffee this morning:
