Okay, show me a coin or medal that, in your opinion, is very humbling.

I want to see what you have. I'll begin with this, but there are no boundaries for the creative mind.

I served on board the USS Enterprise for 4 years, 1 month and 27 days! It was a huge ship. Eight reactors, four propulsion plants. As for me, I worked in #1 plant. Longest shaft in the navy. I believe it was over 1100 feet long! Thanks for showing he medal.

It's my understanding that the U.S.S. Reagan is now the largest, but to me, she only plays second fiddle when you consider the historic accomplisments that go with this ship and her crews.

As in...............you just came out of a coin shop with a very, very expensive coin for which you have been saving for 20 years. Not only is it a much higher grade than you expected to be able to afford, but the dealer, knowing all about your "quest" for those 20 years, was so happy to see you happy, that he sold it to you at a substantial discount. And, as you opened the door to step out on the sidewalk, a man in a $2,000 suit sporting a $10,000 Rolex steps out of a Bentley and heads toward the door of the coin shop. As you stand there admiring his car while still holding the door, he flips you a 1933 St. Gaudens for a tip.
