Good for you Randy. That should pair well with your Bar Cent.

Yes sir. That was my goal. I have a Fugio though it is pretty rough. But I have been getting deeper into the post colonial stuff.

 

@Randy Abercrombie Very nice looking, so are you building a Colonial collection?

 

Sort of.... That period in our history really appeals to me right now.

 

I love the Colonial, pre and post time frame for coins. The coins had things on them that meant something. Like this coin, a Kentucky Token. Such history too. Struck in England, circa 1792-1794. Each star represents a state, which can be identified by its letter. K for Kentucky is at the top so that’s where it’s name originates. This is the plain edge variety. The scroll reads “OUR CAUSE IS JUST”.

 

Unanimity? You are all of one mind. You will be assimilated.

What an odd thing to strive for.

 

No, we’re willing to fight for our freedoms.

 

I'm in the set it/forget it camp. Unfortunately, lately that means I don't get anything. I used to buy a lot of stuff from Heritage Auctions, but when I factor in state tax and Heritage's ridiculous shipping charges, I'm outbid almost as soon as I put in my max amount. Any suggestions?

 

I was drooling over this one when you posted it a few weeks back.

 

Thanks for not drooling on my coin. LOL

 

My dog will not be drooling on yours and any more of my coins ever again!

 

Life is short and when it's all said and done, you can't take it with you! You made the right choice which was your choice!!

 

Patience gives you the opportunity to think twice! Good luck.

 

Hopefully you didn’t shoot him. Lol

 

I won't debate that there are many synonyms for "unanimity" and therefore, ones take on the meaning of a phrase in which it is contained. However, I feel that this reference from Wikipedia does the best service to the word and phrase:

"Unanimity is agreement by all people in a given situation. Groups may consider unanimous decisions as a sign of social, political or procedural agreement, solidarity, and unity. Unanimity may be assumed explicitly after a unanimous vote or implicitly by a lack of objections. It does not necessarily mean uniformity and can sometimes be the opposite of majority in terms of outcomes."[my added emphasis]. To the extent that the above is applied in interpreting the meaning of "unanimity" and the phrase "UNANIMITY IS THE STRENGTH OF SOCIETY", then I think both the word and phrase are well said; quite the opposite of agreeing to be "assimilated" by a society. Semper Fidelis

 

Fair enough.

 

This is my first Heritage win..... Do they typically send tracking information when they ship a coin?
