I've recently come up with a sequel to my original coin joke thread. Here are some new ones: Overheard in a coin club meeting: "So, how'd your eyes suddenly turn green?" "Well, I looked dead at this nickel graded as PR66, and it had the best green toning in the house. I bought it immediately and literally did not care about the price. It's all I could look at for the next 2 hours, and I called the doctor when my eyes turned green. He is also a coin club member, so he said to bring the coin in, and he told me that my eyes loved it so much that they replicated it." "I guess the hue's on you!" "Exacto. Except I'm now praying that I don't see a blue-toned coin." The coin referenced above is a current coin of mine, and I have no idea who on earth those 2 guys talking were. What makes the 1939-D nickels uncommon in gem grades but 1950-Ds common? They previously fought over who would go in circulation, and the 1939-D ultimately lost. Okay, everyone, this is the real reason why Barber coinage started being made. It was because Liberty was tired of sitting in one spot and........... (drumroll)........... doing nothing! Overheard in a bar between people: "Did you see the quarter that crossed the river?" "What, you mean that one that traveled 70 miles yesterday?" "Yeah, he was at a key date convention and he's getting away because he peed his edges." "How could a coin pee its edges, though?" "Because it's his state, of course!" In that same basement, only God knows when: "Well, I took Seated Liberty to the prom." "Really? How'd you manage that?" "I got her the best shield that money could buy. This one is pure gold!" "Pure gold? She must really be willing to get serious with you!" "Oh yeah." "Well, tell me more, you fool!" "All I can say is: just get her a shield of anything and she'll go out with ya." "What about Standing Liberty?" "I think she's still recovering from when she got swarmed in 1917. So, I went with Seated, and she's the thriller." "I think you are crazy." These might not make much sense, but if you think about them, they can really be funny. Hopefully these enlighten the day!
I... guess I did well then? LOL I do try to make them logical, but sometimes I do flat-out make screw-ups. My favorites, though, are some of the Liberty prom conversations. Which do you like the best? That's a great one! I think the quarters, though, get transported to a pennytentiary in Washington. Why? They told a lie!
That's actually quite an honest statement! Although I don't nessecarily know how many coins like to land on the side. Another true statement right here. If you have enough of it, though, you wouldn't actually be bankrupt, but rather in a good state. Also, I don't know if it's true, but I heard that the guy who went to jail cleaned his dad's 1817/4 half dollar, and devalued it several tens of thousands of dollars.
