Sorry Toad they were already promised to me .
rzage

 

Sorry guys. I already promised my grandfather I would keep them and never sell them

 

Who said anything about us paying for them?

Ribbit

 

Yea . Ryan I'll be over for mine on Christmas , capice .... JK
rzage

 

I was expecting him to get Santa to deliver it!

Ribbit :whistle:

 

my comment is to get them slabbed.

Ruben

 

That's a good idea!

Have them slabbed before you send them, Ryan!

Ribbit

 

That would work too , and while we're at it his Avatar Texas comm. would look nice in my x-mas stocking .

I hope the person I leave my coins to will be like you...

 

I know very little about the Spanish colonial coins, but I like them.
Both appear to have the Mexico city mint mark.

 

Now the reason why I said I can't "sell" them is because I also can't say "give them away" becuase I can't live forever! I will have to pass them down to a "family member".

 

Hey Rzage? Do you see what Ryan said?

He said we ain't family! :goof:

I'll hold him down while you play hide-the-nut with him. :whistle:

Ribbit

 

Not unless you marry my aunt! But sorry, she ain't into Toads

 

I'll just have to get your mommy to divorce daddy and I'll marry mommy and become your step-daddy. You'll have to change your username in here to Cinderfella! :mouth:

Ribbit

 

Go ahead and try divorcing mommy from daddy! But you'll have to get past the big huge ape first... me. I'll be waiting :goof:

 

Nothing a few fleas can't handle! :whistle:

Ribbit

 

Don't forget I have been playing basketball for 4 years. Think of all the weight lifting we have been having to do, and all of that training? I also did Kung Fu for two years :goof:

 

So you are a Grasshopper instead of an Ape.
