    The best version...the original, with the one and only Phil Harris.

    Phil Harris was an amazing entertainer. His performance on the Jack Benny radio show, as Jack Benny's often drunk and mischievous band leader, during the late 1930's, 40's and into the early 1950's beats any comedy today

    UPDATE:

    Coins mailed out today. To the recipients, don't freak out when you receive a package from a law firm in south Florida. You are not being sued...for now ;). The coins are inside. Just open the envelope, pry open the two business cards taped together, and your coin will be inside in a 2x2 holder.

    As long as they are not hidden like Waldo then I should be good :D

    Once I had trouble finding a coin locked up in some cardboard (or that paper cardboard stuff, can't remember) and I was cutting through it, and I ended up cutting right next to the coin :eek: And another time I didn't notice a second coin in there (I think it was an extra or something) and I almost threw it away with the packaging.

    Now I am real careful when opening up coin packages/letters.

    Very kind of you @Sallent !
    I can only blame myself for being older than required, an old time collector, and furthermore holding a few more bucks than the limit....or I would have applied :D

    It reminds me of a story : once at a coin fair, say 20 years ago (meaning in my mid to late thirties at the time), and wanting desperately a coin, I bargained much more than I should have (or would now). Upon our agreement the seller almost fainted when I asked him for a student discount....(just kidding of course, and he still remembers me)
