It's Thanksgiving. Post a Turkey coin.

No coins from Turkey, but this one posted late last night, so I'm thankful they were working the week of Thanksgiving. 1836/1336 overdate O-108a PCGS AU58.

 

hmmm.. no turkey coins, but how bout those who ate the turkey??

 

I don't have any but happy thanksgiving!


Thanks,
Jacob

 

You know, Ben Franklin fought hard for the national bird/symbol to be a wild turkey instead if an eagle. Imagine if all our coinage had fat turkeys on them instead of bald eagles!

 

How many turkeys can you take at one sitting?

 

Had he got his way I don't think we would have seen fat turkeys on coins. We would have seen thin, wild ones. And you would probably all be eating eagles for dinner today.

 

Like on the Kitsatchee?

 

How about the guy that tried to have the turkey be our national bird. Can you imagine if we all ate bald eagle for the Thanksgiving!

I'm not home where I can access my PC so I'll have to post this turkey. Taken at Rocky Mountains. My wife and I are visiting our son for Thanksgiving. He lives in beautiful Colorado. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

 

The US Mint has turned out a lot of turkeys recently, but I don’t think that’s what you’re talking about.

Happy Thanksgiving, all!

 

Actually, that was immediately where my mind went. We call it a "target-rich environment".

 

I now live and work in an urban canyon in Harrisburg, PA that now serves as the home range of not turkeys (legislators temporarily excluded), nor eagles, but a family of peregrine falcons. Fast flyers! They can pass a Dallara/Chevy driven by a Penske driver at full throttle.

 

Had to borrow this from 'Amazon'.........



Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

 

Now this is a Turkey!

 

How did that toning come about??

Is it from a typed piece of paper left on top in a sulfuric environment?

C-B-D, this is a little off topic but that picture you posted screams to me that this Bust half is really ripe for resubmission to PCGS for a higher grade! I would love to buy that coin at an AU58 price-it appears much, much better than that. Unless it's a detail coin and I'm missing something in the photo I'd give it at least a 64, maybe a 65.
