WorldTypeSet · June 25, 2004 12:08AM

Just like on earth, I 'll be continually outbid on coins that I want. I'll miss the deals due to other commitments. I'll have already spent my coin budget when something I really want comes on the market.

Oh ya, and the slabs all melt because of the heat and all of the fires.

(hmmm, maybe this isn't heaven?)

Louis · June 25, 2004 12:08AM

Here's a start.

XpipedreamR · June 25, 2004 12:09AM

No hazy proofs.

No carbon spots.

No PVC.

No milky white spots.

coinguy89 · June 25, 2004 12:10AM

I don't imagine coins in heaven, im not sure what I see.

jhar · June 25, 2004 12:16AM

Won't have time for coins, gonna be singin praises to my Lord Jesus Christ!!!

Mint kegs of early large cents waiting to be sorted for varieties.

Pretty bad actually. A lot of competition. I think Pittman and Eliasberg there!

GAT · June 25, 2004 12:31AM

Coin collecting? Muslims say you have to deal with 2 dozen virgins first. I have often wondered where they find enough to go around.

KlectorKid · June 25, 2004 12:33AM

I've always wanted a set of High grade double eagles, Libs and Saints.

TUMUSS · June 25, 2004 12:52AM

I thought that this was heaven!!! The thrill of this hobby is the wins, losses, ups, downs...etc. If you gave me every coin I wanted - IT JUST WOULD NOT BE FUN!

ddbird · June 25, 2004 12:55AM

<<Beautiful blondes handing out free samples all day long!>>

You stole mine!!!

Ah, lets just say getting some good cherrypickin from some of the bigwigs up stairs!

mgoodm3 · June 25, 2004 12:56AM

Everything is on sale.

Lakesammman · June 25, 2004 1:26AM

Well, since the Lord owns everything anyway (we are temporary stewards), it will be interesting to see if there is the concept of ownership there.

Also, more world coins than I ever imagined.

I keep dropping my slabs, then can't find 'em....
...can't find anything with all these %#&@ clouds...
Has anyone seen my glasses?

cosmicdebris · June 25, 2004 1:43AM

I would be mint master with access to any coin, from anywhere and from anytime.

Cladiator · June 25, 2004 2:05AM

no cleaned or damaged or altered coins at all....ahhhhhh...peace at last

paigowjohnny · June 25, 2004 2:10AM

Something that involves Carson City Morgans, Lucy, and a bottle of Wesson oil

Typetone · June 25, 2004 2:56AM

Getting all the coins you want forever without working for them would be hell not heaven. Think about it. The Islamic virgins business would be the same. It would be fun for a while, but after the first 1,000 years? No chase, never any turndowns, never any rejection, just machine like submission. Never anything different or new. That would be hell. I think there was an old Twilight Zone episode about that situation.

No, I think heaven is about service, worship, creativity' learning, discovery, etc. Utimately, those satisfy. Didn't Chirst say something to the effect of "Whoever would be great among you must be a servant".

So, with respect to coins, the joy in heaven would be to be able to share our collections and joy about them, with others who are interested. I would imagine that all the great coins will be there, and all interested collectors would willingly trade and share them with each other. After all, even if each collector held a piece for 1,000 years, each of us would still have an infinite amount of time to own it!!!

Endless coins, coin shows, numismatic books and, oh yes, the 72 virgins. . .

But, the catch is that they have to stay virgins for eternity.

Goober · June 25, 2004 6:08AM

You: Widow Mites? That's all you have? How about you Michael? Widow Mites again?! Come on, someone must have something besides widow mites!

<< Beautiful blondes handing out free samples all day long! >>

Fine, but what about the coin collecting?

I've thought about the descriptions of heaven that I've heard of the years on many occasions. And I have to say that if it was actually like how it is usually described, I don't think I would want to go there.

razorface1027 · June 25, 2004 6:17AM

I'm not goin' to heaven. Therefore, I'll be looking for strictly MELT value in HELL.

ccr · June 25, 2004 7:03AM

I would own a complete set of high grade, original, and very high eye appealing set of Peace Dollars and Seated Quarters because I love them.

Lakesammman · June 25, 2004 8:35AM

If you think about prior generations of collectors, establishing "ownership" of specific coins will be difficult.

Coin heaven would be rubbing my grimy fingers over the smooth fields and frosty cameo of every high-grade proof I've owned, without leaving a print. Coin hell would be waking up and finding all my slabs cracked open next to my bed, with my grimy fingerprints all over them.

NoGvmnt · June 25, 2004 11:26AM

I brought my metal detector with me and the clouds are paved with proofs of ALL series and denominations.

stujoe · June 25, 2004 12:44PM

It is cool to think of having all the coin you ever wanted but I think it would lose its appeal real quick. If I could have all the coins that I ever wanted, I might as well be collecting dirt. I think collecting would have to be not much different than it is on Earth or it would to hold much interest for me.

However, I would love to get the real scoop on all the coins I ever had an interest in. Talk coins with some of the famous collectors and researchers and mint employees. I don't think that would get old for a long time.

UncleWiggly · June 25, 2004 1:57PM

Hey, what if the Gates of Heaven look like the 1984-S Olympic Dollar that Anaconda has up?

It's actually three times two dozen virgins. There are many theological questions
which have already been considered on the open forum..

In heaven coins actually get thicker and less worn as they circulate. If you wait
long enough they'll all be uncirculated.

Conder101 · June 25, 2004 10:31PM

<< In heaven coins actually get thicker and less worn as they circulate. If you wait long enough they'll all be uncirculated >>

If they keep on circulating do they eventually turn back into ingots?

No but the strikes and planchets get better until after an eternity they're all perfect.

Neptune · June 26, 2004 1:11AM

I would venture down to earth as an angel from heaven with the special coins for people like myself and others. I would be the "coin angel".

I think with respect to coin collecting in the here and now, there is insight in what you said. Imagine going to a coin show where all the people knew nothing and had no interest in coins (or shared any or your other interests).

Shamika · June 26, 2004 2:45AM

You take the samples, I'll take the blondes.

It was many years of purgatory.

Buying whatever whenever and getting rid of the lowlifes and worked over coins
