i enjoy an occasional off topic thread, and i'm glad we can have them here. i'm interested in you folks here on the forum as well as the coins themselves. i like checking out some of the other stuff you all have and collect...like paper money, cars, swords, artifacts, fossils, meteorite....as well as your dogs, cats, and the music you all like.
