Ok here are my proof pics...




This Alligator wallet was given to me by my Ex-girlfriend. It is thee only good thing I came away with in that relationship. lol I have nicknamed it Troy (Landry) Gator hunter from the Swam People TV show. It looks like the tail piece. I really like it but it is falling apart because I put to much stuff in it. Looks like a double cheeseburger.



I had to edit/crop the 1st pic and 2nd pic to take my name/address off...

Man, that wallet is INSANELY cool . . . . .

Might want to obscure the details on the license however . . . .

You may wish to have a moderator delete or crop the first two photos as I was able to get your full name, DL #, DOB. Way too much info to be giving out.

 

I was carrying this one for a while. I might just go back to it . . . . .

It's a tad larger than a Morgan Dollar.

Hmmm,

This could be cool. I have a couple of them. A challenge coin a local 2A forum had stamped up . . . .

Well I have two. Both are metal detecting finds.

One is a 1940 Irish half pound. I found it at a 150 year old mansion, buried right beside the front steps. Because of my Scotch Irish roots and the fact that thete was a hole drilled through it, my wife urged me to have a bezel added to it so I could wear it with a very heavy silver chain I had found. So it is worn around my neck.

The second coin was found at another private property. This lot had never been developed but nestled among a number of waterfront mansions that dated to the early 1900s. The lot was covered with tall weeds, sapling trees and many many fallen limbs from hurricane near misses. Hunting it was a real challenge and I found nothing. Exhausted I was preparing to leave when I noticed 2 mammoth oak trees in the center of the lot that somehow I had missed. I never pass by huge trees and I worked my way to the first and struggled my way around it, finding nothing.
Then I managed to work my way to the second and deadfall limbs surrounded it too. I made my way around it and at the last foot or two I got a very strong signal. Popped out a 1906 O Barber half dollar.

my first Barber and my first half dollar.

I designated it my lucky token and take it to every poker game I play in. Good choice too as my winnings have greatly escalated and my losses have dropped.

 

My pocket piece is also my key fob.

 

Sorry, 1st time I've posted from my phone. I guess I didn't hit the full size button bars enough to show my obverse.

 

I've since lost it but I used to carry a Toonie. I used to work often in Canada. Here's an example photo. I carried it as a conversation opener. I'd pull it out and
ask my audience, how many animals can you find on the back of a Toonie?

Anyone venture a guess? I'll provide the answer tomorrow. Have Fun!

 

thanks

 

This 1906-O was given to my Father-in-law when he turned 16 (1956) and joined the Norwegian merchant navy by his Father as a good luck piece. He had it in his pockets for 25 years at sea,and until he passed. When I inherited his collection in December, I have carried on the tradition, so this has been a pocket piece for at least 64 years.

 

A bear, a loon, a goose, a elk, raccoons, a couple others. I'm guessing six.

 

There are six

 

Not sure about the number, but I guess you could make a case for the head of the bear looking a bit like the head of a carp.
However, this coin, to me, has the best general description of any other..."A coin which has Queen Elizabeth on the front with a bare behind."

 

Z, expat, BJBILL; Good guess' all but no. If you have a Toonie, you might want to pull it out when I give the answer.

When offering a guess, let me know where you see them.

 

My answer was about a just for fun quiz, the answer was as follows
