There once was a coin named Morgan,
who practiced on the church organ
She let out a shudder
when she heard someone mutter
'bout a timeshare in Oregon
There once was a coin from nantucket
Stored for years in a bucket
It acquired lots of tone
Yet the luster thru it shone
And all the blast white people said yucket

just beneath a gal in a skirt
Sent it in to be graded and I sat there and waited...
she replied : " POP 1 ? yer a jerk"

Toned grey and decidedly crusty;
Alas 'twas "no grade"
In a bodybag, I'm afraid;
But I found her nonetheless lusty !!

Barber's Liberty, Most say, looks androgenous,
So they claim ol' Charles was misogynous,
But I say he knew,
Though professing admirers be few,
That the truth is: Most find her erogenous!

I saw in my change was a cent
1909S obverse
VDB on the reverse
a great find in any event!
(not a true story btw - I wish though)

To fetch a State Quarter
Jack fell down & broke his crown
And the Mint cancelled his order
Who set out to complete a grading set full of Busty,
One day a seller from China, slipped him a shiner,
And now he's stuck with a fake that is Crusty
"La Vostra Nonna Ha Faccia Del Fungo"
The prices shot up threw the roof
Then came first strike
The grading services did like
It's got us all acting like a goof
hi, i'm tom.
i do not doctor coins like some who post in here.
If afforded a moment of time,
I confess that I'd rather continue to gather
The beautiful Mercury dime.
Five lines, people! First, second and fifth rhyme with each other
third rhymes with the fourth.

Moderators on the coin forum
Said, "What we need is some decorum!"
So they took some of the members
Who were flaming like embers
And they then decided to floor 'em

What makes you sell so high?
You used to sell without a reserve
Now your prices are at the moon.
a lad tossed in a wishing well a new dime
it was of all things in denver of 1916 time
many years later a bright new light shines
so with diving gear on he now down climbs
in that wishing well that still to him chimes
how i wish it was me comitting such crimes
Bag on PCGS and heads will fall
Some posters can't see the trees for the forest
Even with most of us singing in chorus
Now plenty of bammed members will squall.
David Hall is in the dell,
Hi-ho, the derry-o,
David Hall is in the dell.
David Hall takes a coin,
David Hall takes a coin,
Hi-ho, the derry-o,
David Hall takes a coin,
The coin takes a slab,
The coin takes a slab,
Hi-ho, the derry-o,
The coin takes a slab.
The slab takes a grade,
The slab takes a grade,
Hi-ho, the derry-o,
The slab takes a grade,
The grade is on the insert,
The grade is on the insert,
Hi-ho, the derry-o,
The grade is on the insert,
The insert says PCGS,

He thought that he knew all the tricks
The Fugio that he did score
Turned out to be really sixty-four
Poor Fletch thinks he can grade from pics.
with this cute gurl he liked named jackie
he opened a cereal box to find a new sackie
he now cries i wished someone had slapped me
when jackie had asked in her way all too sappy
can i have please as it will make me very happy
There once was a rainbow peace dollar
That caused PCGS forum member to holler
Adrian wasn't stressing
Cause NGC gave it it's blessing
but the forum police still made their collar
Said "I think I can make me 12 grandy!"
She cracked the Saint from its holder
Said "You're scared but I'm bolder"
When it came back she moved into a shanty.

Martyfarty, puddin' and pie,
Choked his chicken and made it die.
He butchered it with his own little hand,
Turned it into a huge rubber band.

That's not a limerick. It's a quatrain.
Anyway...
The Mad One sent coins to be traded
To services where they'd be graded.
Results he would hate --
AU-58 --
Have left him dejected and jaded.
<< <i>I've been racking my brain trying to come up with one about Marty, and have now concluded that I suck at limericks.

Russ sold a large Kennedy lot
To Marty --"Top dollar! They're hot!"
But Marty was Mad,
And upon speaking he said:
"Are these holed, or was Kennedy shot?"
Russ, NCNE
Who, inside his shoe kept his busties
While sitting in bed
An idea popped into head
Now that's why my collection seems musty
On eBay, which made me think twice.
The seller's from China,
Not North Carolina --
I'm passing no matter the price.

If contained in a coinseller's wares
Are unattributed Accented Hairs,
Watch as Russ and MadMarty
Rush to the party.
"You suck!" is what the loser declares.
New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
There once was a boy name Pete.
Who had a passion for collecting Matte Wheat’s
He bought all he could
Some in plastic, some no good
But everyone he did keep.
Cataloguing at a breakneck pace
But when my nose itches
and prompts finger twitches
I end up with brown streaks on my face
Smoe members were making a fuss
Conder went away
Mark has nothing to say
And the limericks silenced Russ

There once was guy named Mad Marty,
who brought quite a lot to the party,
known for slick cherrypicks, and a fake rubber chick,
and manly coin I'd describe as arty.

But his holy grail Kennedy just wasn't there
Scoured Teletrade, Heritage, and the bay of "e"
Sweet god Marty better not get one before me
All I want for Christmas is a PR69DCAM Accented Hair
"You Suck Award" - February, 2015
Discoverer of 1919 Mercury Dime DDO - FS-101
On his first win he refused to pay the fee
He was moaning and pissing
While another coin was missing
Until he screwed over BigD

Best one yet!

And, more or less, turned into a robot,
Slouching in his chair, peering and squinting,
Half-dollar sized coins, shiny and glinting,
Ultimately, he found it, the Kennedy 'Dot'
Lincoln set Colorless Set
Who added some leaves for a thrill
He punched the start button
Then lunched on some mutton
And now the mint director is ill
I once went out to find an Ike
A proof, one that I`ll like
got a group of GSA
which they are still in today
and this is why " I Like Ike ! "

Another superb effort!

There once was a metallic blank,
Who envied his kin at the bank.
But, to become a coin,
He had to "loin"
'Bout presses and dies...so he drank!
<< <i>I've been racking my brain trying to come up with one about Marty, >>
Beware of the man with the rubber chicken
He has come to your table for cherrypick'n
His looks are quite decieving
With your best coins he will be leaving
Afterwards your own butt you will be kick'n

seemed destined for a DH Holder.
Though raw they were pretty,
to avoid gettin' gritty,
they were slabbed, and appear even "golder."
OK, who started this...?
Making comments that may stretch the truth.
The police they are watchin'
So stop your debauchin'
Be nice or y'all will go POOF!

Now rests in my hands staring at me!
about a coin worthy of owning
It slipped into his mouth
later came out "down south"
and now it is blessed with great toning!
