a nice cameo lincoln for and morgan dollar. buffalo nickles incase trere are kids there.
Family, kids, coins, sports (playing not watching), jet skiing, wakeboarding, Big Air....no one ever got hurt in the air....its the sudden stop that hurts. I hate Hurricane Sandy. I hate FEMA and i hate the blasted insurance companies.
The Arkansas parody quarters - always good for a laugh.
"My friends who see my collection sometimes ask what something costs. I tell them and they are in awe at my stupidity."

For a party bring the shish-ke-buffs or the speared bison nickels or the extra leaf WI quarters. People appeciate things they've seen in the news. Believe it or not older clads in nice condition often get people's attention. The second best bet for noncollectors is nice attractive silver an- cients. Old US coins will get more response if they're very old and have some wear. Gold will also get non-collectors attention sometimes. After that it's anyone's guess but obsolete type and denominations can be effective. Really beautiful darkside coins can be noticed.
Non-collectors won't appreciate the subtleties of grade or rarity. They tend to prefer larger coins and those with eye catching designs. They also tend to like old more than new.
If you need to use a coin to perk up a party, your at the wrong party. However, I like the Chuck-E-Cheese token idea. Pulliing one out as if it were a real coin could get some reaction from a parent. Single people don't usually know what that is though. Actually now that it has come up I may start carrying some old Missouri Mills that I acquired when I was a kid. No one would know what they are.

I agree. The naughty quarters are always fun, and people know what SQs are, so they're quick to check them out.

Hey, there's no accounting for taste.
