Do any of you decorate your house with large pictures of your coins?

  I have an oil painting of one of my favorite coins. One of my friends is an artist. He made it for me and gave it to me as a house warming present when I bought the house. It was one of the coolest gifts ever.

  No, however, I would like to have a few nice size pictures of Washington, Lincoln, jefferson, and Franklin. My wife , much like some of you, will not permit me to show them in our living room, or Den, or Bedroom. She did say when my son graduates next year, I might be able to hang them in the garage. I told her I was king of my castle and I will hang them anywhere I darn well please... Can't wait till next year.

  I took this pic at the Jelly Belly factory near Napa a few years ago. It's made of Jelly Beans.

  Dan.............you must be a single man.
  
  
  My wife is trying to sweet talk me into remodling the house, we just added on to one side of the house now she wants to do the other side...........says that when we remodel I can have my own room and hang anything I want on the walls. The part I don't quite understand is that we have 11 rooms in the house now, why can't I have one of those. ........................Gots to be a woman thing.
  
  I just keep thinking about all the coins I could buy for 100k.

  I have a photo of a Schoolgirl Dollar on one wall and a photo of Walter Breen on the adjacent wall. It's true, so no wisecracks, please.

  Given what I have heard about Breen's proclivities, I think your Schoolgirl dollar is safe. A Schoolboy dollar, on the other hand ...

  Now if it was a Schollboy dollar it woulod be more appropriate for Walter.
  
  Sorry, I couldn't resist.

  The stuff I have around the house is all confined to one room, and that door gets closed whenever company is over. Nothing on the walls in that room yet, though coppercoins' portrait of Victor Brenner is mighty tempting.

  Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.
