A different sort of contest

For every penny saved, history is made.

----------------------------------------------
If you own a silver coin, you are content and pleased with yourself
If you own a gold coin, you are happy and eager to see what happens
If you own a platinum coin, you are overly excited and extremely happy
If you own a penny, you are just happy that you dont have all those security, insurance, and protection payments every month you own your penny

lawyers are like pennies, 50 a roll , 2500 a box, and no where to put them

Is there such a thing of over protecting your coin, sheltering it from life, and never letting it see what is really out there?

Where there's a Franklin, theres a $100 bonus

Without coin collectors in the world, it would be boring, depressing, and a hell of a lot more civilized!

 

Beauty is in the eye of the coin holder.
The only thing we have to fear is fear itself - or a coin graded by SGS.
I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 coin that were graded wrong-
I'll sleep when I'm done collecting.
Heav'n hath no rage like love to hatred turn'd, Nor Hell a fury, like a collector getting a cleaned coin.
Half this 64 Kennedy is ninety percent Silver. "Half this game is ninety percent mental" Yogi Berra
You've got ring around the Partial Collar-

 

Should I have mentioned in the contest rules that I am a retired lawyer

Of course that won't affect the judging.

 

I knew that! :whistle:

 

umm yeah, me and rick were just playing. We were talking about a different lawyer- that one over there

 

It's not about the size of the dog, its about the energy in the thiefs legs when he's stealing the gold coin

When counting the number of coin collectors in Ireland, one tends to forget the leprechauns.

 

More...

It takes two hands to handle a Krugerrand.

To know gold is to love gold.

A dimerick....

There once was a coin named Barber,
Owned by an old man named Farber.
He put it in a jar,
And buried it far,
And now it lies under the Harbor.

Ok, that one was pushing it....Global warming and all that.

Enough for now, it's dinar time...hee hee! Mickey

 

OK, these will be my last entries - I'm sure everyone is sick of me by now:



James Cagney speaking to a blemished one-cent coin: "You dirty copper".

Marlon Brando speaking to an old, gold coin: "Stella"!

(Once again, read like a 1940's mystery novel): "I saw the 'error' of my ways when the 'broad struck' me. It felt like a 'mule' had kicked me 'off-center' and her 'blank' stare 'capped' off a night filled with danger. The sus 'pence' was killing me and the look she was giving me sent a 'shilling' shiver down my spine. I knew she was going to 'pound' me again or 'crown' me over the head; I didn't know which.

 

4 pence and 7 mercury dimes ago, our fore fathers could have watched 2 movies and had money left to go to the circus

(up hill both ways haha)

 

The contest is about to close folks!

 

Under the wire

Speak Softly & Carry A Large Cent.

 

We have a winner!

Congratulations Marianne - the very first entry in this contest was yours, and it is both my personal favorite, and the consensus choice of the judges, based on a scale of 5 points for first choice, 4 for second, etc. :high5:

Good fences make bad coin dealers.​

PM your address and the prize will be in the mail. :smile

Honorable mentions - but no prizes - to CoinOKC for "Marlon Brando speaking to an old, gold coin: 'Stella'!" and
budgood for "Speak Softly & Carry a Large Cent."

 

Thanks, Roy! Mystery Judges, too. I didn't expect to win, given the competition.

This is my first error coin. The missing mark brings to mind another old saying: A Mint is a terrible thing to waste.
