@pursuitofliberty: great tale Todd; quite the saga! You’re right - sometimes these inanimate objects we call coins do have a way of finding us. I love the coin & am glad it found its way to you! I know you’ll really enjoy this one for some time.

Hanging with our youngest grandson in Houston on his bday. No red eye today but his Mom brewed a mean dark roast. I’m very pleased to post the last of the 3 Jett Collection Barber dimes:
Top notch, highly lustrous, exceptional example with stunning eye appeal. Pedigree is Lily Nicole, a set named after the collector’s granddaughter.
Having a cup and admiring this medal from the Civil War Token Society. My first literary award. I received this in recognition of my article on the historic Massachusetts for Justice medal. I wish I could be in Oklahoma City at the ANA Convention next week to receive it in person, but it is not to be. David Schenkman won first place, an amazing author and researcher, and I am truly honored to be mentioned in the same setting as he.

Here's my contribution today. I have seen and been offered a couple 1819/8 Small 9's over the past couple of years, but none were quite compelling enough to dethrone this crusty girl.
Glad I found her when I did ... glad I still have her here with me.

G'mornin Everyone... rethinking my Box of 20 this AM. Still a few coins I want ( Fugio Cent, 1795 Half, $3 Gold) but I'm considering selling off my California Fractional (not pictured) and one of my Hard Times tokens... hmmmm, decisions, decisions...

@pursuitofliberty this is a tough room!
Happy Saturday morning everyone! Beautiful day outside for first weekend of August. A few cups of hot black coffee and then out to enjoy it.

I understand hair in curlers on a dog. We own little wigs with feet called Silky terriers.
But human feet on a dog?!
I need to make some coffee.
The feet come with the flip flops
