Do Coins Get Lonely?

Well, I sure think they do. This Italy 1862 20 Lire was passed down to me from my mom through her great uncle. It has been sitting in a box with other U.S. Gold coins. I felt it was not fair to just throw a foreign gold coin in with other U.S. coins, so the only humane thing to do, would be get some friends for it. So I went and added these.

France 1886 20 Franc
Great Britain 1914 1/2 Sovereign
Swiss 1915 10 Franc

My thoughts exactly. I don't collect these, but I can appreciate them. Very nice.

 

Awwwwww, look how happy they look together!! (well played!!)

 

You are a saint (or should I say angel) for thinking of your coins!

 

Coins definitely get lonely bk. I left a new counterstamp pickup on my desk overnight...ALL BY ITSELF! The next morning the 2x2 was soaked in tears...well, maybe I spilled my drink on it before I went to bed. Bruce

 

Did it smell of alcohol? Maybe it was drowning it's sorrows. I do that sometimes.

 

Yes

 

those look great...i always like to my coins to have some friends. :hug:

 

I guess if you were beat with a steel punch like my coin was you'd turn to drinking Bing. :devil: Bruce

 

Of course all coins need friends. The more the merrier.

I just arranged for the little fellow in my avatar to get a few buddies.

 

Oh, a play-date (coins love play-dates!!) ... what an excellent parent (hats-off to you, medoraman!!)

 

Nah, drool.

 

Maybe Kentucky...I really don't remember anything. Bruce

 

There is something terribly wrong with that group of gold coins – it is missing a Netherlands 10 gulden coin. Queen Wilhelmina has a lot to offer and she plays well with others.

There is also a Russian 5 roubles that might fit in….

 

Sometimes if you sing to them before going to bed, it helps.
