I'm throwing my hat into the Round 9 lot. Grandson #2 is showing interest in coins, minerals and anything else Pop Pop bestows unto him. He's almost 6 y/o. A bit young, but that's the age I got his big brother started. We bought him his own 35lb Sentry Safe for Christmas/Hanukah. He was beyond thrilled. I'm excited to get him going on this collecting journey. Happy and Healthy New Year to everyone!
Thanks Shawn. I've been getting much more joy lately in handing out my lifelong collectibles to my kids and grandkids than keeping them for myself. Seeing their happiness in receiving my 'treasures' rather than getting them after I've left the party generates two sets of smiles rather than just their one smile. The old curmudgeon is softening in his old age.
Post entry for round 9. I have nothing even remotely as old as that coin. Beautiful looking coin, and you can't beat a nice merc; crazy bout a mercury.
Need to spread the love a little LM, I even feel a bit cheeky entering the next round when I've already got a prize in front of me.
I'm in for the win. Thank you @lordmarcovan for the contest and the prizes. As for holiday cheer here is a group that I will take to the coin guy on Monday to sell. It should bring more than enough to cover the holiday expenses.
Only have one Ancient. Also, only have "dug" Mercs. Thanks a lot for the entry. Hoping we win! Have a great weekend!
