Interesting. I like the original? ribbon. Silver.

Yes, the ribbon is original ... that's the way that they came. It's the 300 year anniversary of the discovery of Lake Champlain (for all you non-New Yorker or Vermonters). And yes, it's silver. I drop off trinkets to Don for using his mail address for places that don't (or postage is atrocious) send things to Canada. I pick up the mail there when I go for my VA appointments in Buffalo ... and no, there was no mushroom on his car. B

No mushrooom Bill.

My favorite things to collect always seem to have something to do with where I live, what I do for a living or my dog. That is a really cool local-interest item!

(and Syl--member since 2001 and 123 posts -- that's amazing too--I would never remember my log in code

I specialize in Canadian Victoria Large Cents and there's not much on this site about them. But I have always collected pre-1900 foreign stuff, preferably 18th century German States, and I will join in on some oddities of any dark-side stuff when I see them. I just like to kibitz on the threads that are interesting .. more of a lurker.

Morning Bill,

did you have a look at my small cent on the dark side forum?
