This coin has a provenance -- the Seymour Butz collection!




Next: Venus Victrix

 

LOL

 

Is this an As?

 

No, this is the as. You can tell from the fabric.

Next: Venus not Victrix

 

I was being facetious...

 

@Alegandron, if it wasn't safe to laugh until now, you just gave formal permission!

 

I'd ask if Seymour was any relation to Earl Butz but then you might think I was being 'corny'. I wonder who here got that one. Being old and from Indiana would help.

 

@dougsmit, I remember him only as Secretary of Agriculture. Memorable on that basis alone. ...Yeah, let's talk about corn. ...Or not, and say we did.

 

Yeah, he graduated from Purdue... that is bad.

Old IU Hoosier-boy here.

 

As secretary of Agriculture his policies turned corn into the major cash crop it is today and is to a degree responsible for high fructose corn syrup. Is that bad? What may be bad is that no one is posting properly to this thread. Is that bad?

Venus anyone?

 

Hi @dougsmit,

Just don't retell the "joke" that got him fired.
