Here's some coin and token jokes to lighten up the day: Overheard in a basement some time: "So, which Liberty did you take to the prom?" "Well, I took Walking Liberty. I couldn't quite get Seated Liberty to go." "Why wouldn't Seated Liberty want to go?" "I can slip Walking Liberty a 5 and we're good to go. For Seated Liberty, I'd have to give her a better quality flag for one hand and a shield for the other." "Oh, I see. Could it be because of afterwards as well?" "Bingo." What would the 1909-S VDB penny and the 1916-D dime have to do to get married? They'd have to find the key to the date! What do sales tax tokens say before they take a picture? Exonumia! Exactly where do you draw the line between bullion buying and bullion investing? Gimme a fiddy and I grow a bit witty. What happened to the half cent? It was taken out by the dime. The dime took it out and said "This worthless coin shall no longer be bigger than me! A quarter walks into a bank where an 1883 No Cents nickel is the teller. Nickel: "How can I help you today?" Quarter: "I need some money for the vending machine. It keeps spitting me out." Nickel: "Sorry, we don't sell change here." Quarter: "But I thought you were a bank?" Nickel: "We are, but we don't have cents or sense. I'll show you my backside." (shows backside) Quarter: "Well, you haven't seen anything! You're worth nothing compared to me!" (shows his back) Nickel: "Oh yeah? I happen to know you're worth the following: Twenty. Five. Cents." (Quarter leaves) Why do coin collectors avoid alcohol? Because they don't want to have capped out and bust more than zeros! Then they'd have to pay either a dime or a quarter in the payphone and ask for at least a half dollar of bail money. I think John Reich approves of this one. And finally, a farewell letter from a now sold 1893-S Morgan dollar: Dear Owner, I know I was one of the most prized pieces of your coin collection, and just know that my toning wasn't caused by convection. I was considered by many as quite the share, though you may not understand why I'm no longer there. Simply check your bank account for the money, and even happier might be your wife, the honey. I was a fool to mention the collector's convention in 2015, as I was almost sold for as much as gold. You said no, however, as selling me at that price would not happen, never. I was the finest of my kind, and somehow I never choked on the rinds. I thank you for somehow preserving me, as I was lucky to not get hit by lignum tee. Please know that I am in good hands, even better than in the key date band. I shall now join the 1901-S Barber Quarter and belong to a man named Porter. This is my final farewell, and please know that I will still be ringin' the bell. What do you think about these? Are there any you know?
Looks like she can really pretend! She's like "Really, you are sitting there collecting....... common crap?"
Not sure if it's real but this has been on my list, if one ever shows up for sale: It Had To BU: A Numismatic Satire for the Modern Collector [ LP Vinyl ] https://a.co/d/cx9mg4O
What's the price on onbe of those books, Lon? Also, wxcoin, unfortunately that's what a lot of people are left with. Some collect modern stuff like circulated SBAs, Ikes, low-grade common Indian Head cents, and worn V nickels thinking they're worth a lot of money. One of the worst things I've seen with people believing their coins are valuable is half dollars. Some people actually think that their halves are worth all kinds of money, when in all honesty, they're not. Unless you can be the one who gets lucky enough and finds genuine ANACS MS68 quarters for $6. (That actually happened with me, and I bought about 10 of them at that price!)
It's a record. Supposedly - not sure if it's real or a joke. Perhaps made as a one off for a convention somewhere. And no idea on price.
Hmm. That sounds quite weird, especially when it's on Amazon and there's no price. Hopefully it's not hundreds of dollars.
