    I just had a coin auction and could not believe some of the prices realized. I almost wanted to shout out, "People! What are you doing? You could go down to the LCS and buy some of this stuff cheaper!" I didn't shout out, of course, and instead smiled all the way to the bank, but am still confused as to why folks would choose to overpay for something they could have easily researched. The list of lots was available for a month prior to the auction.

    I'd be happy to win anything, thanks donors! How about: 1, 2, 8, 10, 11 or whatever.

    Sir @lordmarcovan and donors, thanks so much for your generosity! :D

    I'd like to share my love of ancients, specifically Biblical coins.

    My favourite coins are Widow's Mites:

    I have some very sad news. I am heartbroken to report that Clyde, our handsome and sweet-natured spokescritter for this month's giveaway (and the May giveaway as well) was killed by a car the other day, and never got to finish growing up, as he was only about six months old. :(

    He was a wonderful friend in the short time he was with us. :cat:

    But I know Clyde wouldn't have wanted y'all to be sad, so in happier news, I have added a
    lot more new stuff to the Prize #1 Pick Bin list, and by the time of the drawings, there will be more than 70 items to choose from. And we'll do something fun in Clyde's honor during the September giveaway, so stay tuned for that.

    He certainly liked to have fun. :cat::)

    What we can do throughout September is post pet pictures in addition to the usual mandatory coin content, and at the end of September, when the drawings are done for the giveaway winners, we'll have also have a pet poll, and the winning pet will become the new spokescritter at the top of the October contest!

    @lordmarcovan so sorry for your loss....

    Rainbow Bridge

    Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

    When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

    All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

    They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

    You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

    Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
