Happy 4th of July, Lets see a 1776...

I have no coins from this period, but I will post this that inspired our Liberty themes on coins (hey, I'm stretching to stay on topic)! Go to the General Discussion thread for your own high resolution copy!

That is a good one. Love it. Coins and history goes together.

Lyrics for Song: A Different World
Lyrics for Album: Bucky Covington
A Different World

We were born to mothers who smoked and drank
Our cribs were covered in lead based paint
No child proof lids no seat belts in cars
Rode bikes with no helmets and still here we are, still here we are
We got daddy’s belt when we misbehaved
Had three TV channels you got up to change
No video games and no satellite
All we had were friends and they were outside, playin’ outside

Chorus
It was a different life
When we were boys and girls
Not just a different time
It was a different world

School always started the same every day
The pledge of allegiance then someone would pray
Not every kid made the team when they tried
We got disappointed and that was all right, we turned out all right

Chorus

Bridge
No bottled water, we drank from a garden hose
And every Sunday, all the stores were closed

Chorus

Chorus

It was a different world

Hey Cheryl, so true, so true!

Since we're in the Central Time Zone, we need to stop posting here and go outside and watch some fireworks somewhere! Yeehaw!:hail:

 

Ban on fireworks this year. I live in Texas and No fireworks.

 

(Warning Large Pictures) Okay guys and gals, here are some South dakota Fireworks featuring (ME, LOL) in my "No question he's the fireworks BOSS" custom made outfit.

Take Care
Ben

 

Cool Ben,

Glad to see I'm not the only one that got dressed up nice for the Fourth.
A few big pics from Clembo's world.

Me and 4000 friends (firecrackers)

I reckon the belt was about 30 feet long.

Non stop for about 10 minutes or so.

4,000 in one roll Jeez, now that would make any 4th of July or Chinese New Year reveler happy. Great Pics, the proper attire is always a must for the 4th as you know, LOL...

Take Care Buddy
Ben

 

I see we are a longhorn fan. Orange is the color. Nice pictures. Cheryl

 

Thank you Cheryl. I grew up & went to school down in Tejas.

Take Care
Ben

 

Well I live in texas and grow up in Minnesota, who knew?

 

Chuckle, kink of a coincidence eh? Tell you there are time I wish Texas was right outside my front door. Homesick at times...

Ben

 

LOL I feel the same about Minnesota. The Hot weather and the fall makes me want to go home. Cool weather up there and petty foilage. Down here we go from green to brown.:hail::hail::hail:

 

Well, we better get back to coins or this thread may get canned, LOL... Here's another coin which MAY have circulated in the Old USA during the beginning days of the Revolution. can you tell what it is?

 

Thinking Hibernia here.

Got one somewhere.
