So I'm doing some research for my next Numismatic History thread ( ) and I ran across this quote from a post in 2006...and I almost laughed out loud!
What do you think?
I know I can draw comparisons between some colonials and Miranda Kerr or Claudia Schiffer or Gisele Bundchen...but maybe that's just me!

I think "new" refers to the popularity of this series but I'm not sure their popularity is any greater or lesser than in the recent past.

An old supermodel would be kind of gross.

Not me brother. Take a look at any old super model over 75 yrs old.
For sure.... would not inspire a Playboy foldout.... Cheers, RickO

<< <i>At least colonial dealers are not considered the new supermodels. >>
If I saw my dealer in a bikini, I don't think I could get over it.

Does putting oil on them and then vigorously brushing them with a camel hair brush result in a natural unenhanced coin?

Or Susan B. Anthony, or a run-down nag, or somebody's missing shirt button......

Sometimes in extreme isolation, the mind grabs onto anything as a substitute for pleasant companionship.
Is it time for the Colonial Collector with Supermodel Coins to get out for an evening of fun? I think so.
<< <i>A guy once went out to visit a secluded Sheep Herder. The Sheep Herder was very isolated and hadn't seen a woman in a good long while. When the subject of women came up, the Sheep Herder quickly stood up and said" follow me I want to show you something". Upon arriving at a slightly human shaped boulder, the Herder asked " isn't she beautiful"?

I used to have some colonial coins I thought were supermodels...
...maybe this is why my wife never liked going to coin shows with me!
