If a picture wasn't going very well I'd put a puppy dog in it, always a mongrel, you know, never one of the full bred puppies. And then I'd put a bandage on its foot... I liked it when I did it, but now I'm sick of it.

    I was expecting something a little less ephemeral from you, Mr. Feld. But if 7'6" basketball player floats your boat that's okay by me. Showing a coin or medal from 1876 works here.

    Oh, for heaven's sake. A member can't even have a bit of a good time here without you having to comment on it.

    That's a 1975 set. In 1975, the mint made the bicentennial coins with the 1976 date.

    These 1976 silver rounds from the mining town of Rico Colorado are rare:

    Wow! These are great! These medals are history in themselves!

    Do you have any info on who issued these or how they were issued?
