Today I turn 75. I have now lived longer than my father, both of my grandmothers and my younger sister. Please post any coin that you like.
I have been in numismatics for over 64 of those years. I have been to over 300 coin shows in 29 states and D.C. including every ANA since 1970, all 40 Memphis paper money shows and have only missed 5 FUN shows since 1973. I am looking forward to the next FUN show in January.
I have been in all 50 states and hopefully by next month I will have visited inside of all 50 state Capitol buildings. I have been to 172 National Park Service administered sites.
I have truly been blessed.
I have a beautiful wife, a wonderful daughter and a great son-in-law.
Life is good!

A life well-lived! I also hope to visit all 50 state capitol buildings ... I'm only at about 6 so far. Have a lot of catching up to do!
Don't have any nice 1950 coin images to post (though I have some in my albums) - will you settle for an 1850?
I am too incompetent to post pictures but I can wish you the best in all things. Perhaps some time you might also share what it is you collect. (either now or in the past).
I have been a coin collector since 1967 and for the last 30 years have focused on circulated Seated coins. james
Happy 75th !!

Happy Birthday! Most people could only dream to be half as well traveled as yourself. That's impressive! Since I am only a two hour drive from FUN, I will hope to make your acquaintance this time around. You have always been a great contributor to the forums.

Since I have no images of a 1950, or even an 1850, I went back 120 years before your birth year with this one. But hey, at least there's a"50" on the reverse!

Happy birthday and many happy returns. I agree that it's a good time to look back and be grateful for the many blessings we have been given. I'm not saying you are as old as the Oregon trail, but I like this one:

Your ANA streak is impressive. Can’t be too many people that are ahead of you. No reason not to keep attending if you can make it to OKC.
