How about James Earl Jones talking coins and currency.
RIP 🌹

RIP to a legend. He played the best villians.
The substantial truth doctrine is an important defense in defamation law that allows individuals to avoid liability if the gist of their statement was true.
Miss him we will.

He was fantastic in all the roles he played.
RIP James Earl Jones.
Coming to America. With Eddie Murphy. Good stuff.
Also very funny on the Big Bang Theory spending a night out on the town with Sheldon Cooper (having ice cream, playing Ding, Dong Ditch at Carrie Fischer's house, riding a Ferris Wheel at the Santa Monica Pier and taking a sauna together).
I posted a version of this many moons ago, but I cannot seem to find it via the PCGS search tools.
Back in the 90s when the kids were young, I used to take one of them to Doug's Coin shop in Birmingham, AL on Saturday mornings. One Saturday morning in 1998, my 8-year-old daughter and I were in Doug's when he got a phone call (on an old-fashioned stationary landline). After a couple of uh-huh's, he hung up, turned around to us, and said, "James Earl Jones is on his way." The Alabama Theatre was renovated in 1998 and he was in town for the grand opening. Sure enough, about 10 minutes later he and a young lady walked into the shop. Doug had some nice baseball memorabilia and Jones was interested. He settled in on an old, crumpled, but authenticated, black and white picture of Ty Cobb sliding into home plate. My recollection was it was a crappy print of a great picture. Doug wanted $1,200 for it, which back in the day was a couple of mortgage payments. James Earl said, "I'll take it." He pulled out one of those old, folding checkbooks with a cheap plastic cover and a snap. Doug looked him square in the eye, and asked, "You wouldn't happen to have cash would you?"
After Jones politely told Doug he didn't have $1,200 on him, we all talked baseball cards. We bemoaned the days when we took the cards and clothespinned them to our bicycle spokes, wondered how many personal collections were "accidentally" thrown away by our mothers, and how many more resided in attics. He was so pleasant and personable. The young lady was a local publicist, and she asked if we wanted our pictures taken with James Earl Jones. We of course said, "sure!" The young lady took our addresses and promised to mail us the pictures (this was way before cell phones and cell phone cameras). Sure enough, about 2-3 weeks later, the picture of James Earl Jones and my daughter arrived in the mail. She still has the picture. Doug's picture came too, and for the longest time (we left Birmingham in 2008) he displayed the picture in his store on a back shelf behind the main counter.
93 was a good run. RIP
If we were all the same, the world would be an incredibly boring place.

Well, did he take the check after all?
RIP, as he disappears into the cornfield.
He did.
If we were all the same, the world would be an incredibly boring place.

Smart move. Even if was returned, the signed bounced paper would be worth some gelt.
Don't forget Lt. Lothar Zogg in Dr. Strangelove.
One could tell the large companies that screwed up and lost the public's trust because they'd hire James Earl Jones to be their spokesman in commercials to rehab their image.
So sad. A true favorite of ours. RIP

Can't forget his role as Thulsa Doom, high priest of Set from Conan the Barbarian.
Throw a coin enough times, and suppose one day it lands on its edge.
I used to love listening to his rendition of Casey At The Bat (with the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra?…can’t remember precisely).
He’ll be missed.
RIP Mr Jones and thank you
Don't forget Mufasa in the original Lion King!!!! "Everything you see exists together in a delicate balance. As king, you need to understand that balance and respect all the creatures, from the crawling ant to the leaping antelope."
That was my favorite role of his.

RIP King.
. No one else could have played this role as well. His voice brought power.
I am a newer collector (started April 2020), and I primarily focus on U.S. Half Cents and Type Coins. Early copper is my favorite.
