    To come from circulation, this nickel looks very nice. I hope I look this nice when I turn 45 :D:p IMG_20230302_061144.jpg IMG_20230302_061123.jpg IMG_20230302_060424.jpg

    I have always thought about writting a book....most probably be a children's book on coins.
    Telling the story of my life from mintage ,where it traveled to, who spent me....where on what?
    Just a fun cross section of the life of a coin traveling throughout the next 100 years!
    How did I end up in Europe....and now in a soft album in the small town of St Elmo anywhere....?


    and of course one needs a title. How about " I use to be a new nickel "

    Don't forget the part where someone pitched it in a urinal and a coin collector came along and fished it out.

    What a great idea. History for our younger beginning collectors. You could ask for ideas from members here and let the imagination run wild.
    If I'm still around, I'd be happy to proofread your book before publication, but don't wait too long.

    So it's a romance novel?

    I'm not sure if you're joking but you really are on to something with this idea. I think that would be awesome.

    I'm very scared of aging. Reality hits me like a brick in the face sometimes when I think back to some certain occasion when I was young and then I realize my age now and how fast my life is going... it's enough to make one want to tear up

    Nothing to be scared about as it happens to all of us. Each year you get a little older, a few more eights and pains, etc. Everybody you know ages as well so you do it with style and grace.
