    coins and everyday life

    Well, today me and my dad were at a shoe store and my dad picked up a shoe on display, and said it looked worn out. My instant response was, "look for wear on the high points"

    Anyone else ever say something to do with coins in a completely unrelated situation?

    You talking about the price of Nikes? I think they are hyper inflated. Artificial high price for a swish on the side of basketball shoes.

    Didn't hear of them, but I agree, shoes are getting out of hand. Check these out:

    As long as you do not send your shoes off to PCGS to get graded, you're fine. Click here to enlarge TC

    New Balance shoes. Manufactured by Americans in the USA! Fair prices, too.
    For some reason though, not a cool shoe to wear here in the USA. Sad, isn't it?

    LOL.... I think I've used coin terms on other circumstances as well. Totally not related to numismatics but the terms came in handy....

    Yes. My dad and I wear New Balance because they are nice quality shoes. You can say I'm not the coolest kid around. Click here to enlarge

    sadly, they aren't 100% anymore. i believe the last estimate was around 25% of their shoes were domestically made.
    ...and this one belongs to the reds!
