    Another month, another giveaway! @lordmarcovan is an excellent person to have in our community. Generous and knowledgeable.

    As for my coin related material... I am usually not into mint products. They're expensive and generally lose value, however i really like this recent release! I haven't purchased it, and who knows if i will. Attached is a picture of the reverse. I think the perspective is different and well executed. American Legion Reverse.png

    No preference on prizes...would be grateful for any of them, should my number be drawn

    The small coin pictured below was given to me by another military spouse in 2010. I carry it in my wallet at all times. The larger coin was given to me during my husband’s retirement ceremony in 2013. It too is in my wallet at all times. Hubby joined the USAF in 1986; we met in ‘89; married in ‘90; retired in 2013. These coins remind me of all of the sacrifices made between the hubby, kids and myself...sacrifices that none of us would trade for anything in the world...sacrifices that hubby made to make sure that our country was safe. It was our life, both good and bad & it was such a life that has made our family who we are today.

    A heartfelt thank you goes to LordM and the rest of the May 2019 donors...the generosity of each of you is truly appreciated!

    The June giveaway is launched, a bit early, since I might not be around on the 1st. If I don't get a chance to do the drawings for this one on the 1st, you may consider the deadline for the May giveaway extended until I do.

    Click the picture to see the June giveaway. :)

    1, 2, 4, 5, 3, 6, 7.

    I like Coins.

    I also "like Ike".

    So collecting some really nice Eisenhower dollars is pretty cool.

    My pic from the Long Beach show four years ago. My lovely choices of coins and supplies to bring home. Aside from Peanut, who likes coins too, who else here "likes Ikes"?

    I have recently moved and my pocket change is really starting to build up since I have not had any time to go through it. Oh well, the pile will just have to keep growing until I finish all of my painting and unpacking.

    For those who haven't seen it before, this Numista tool is pretty nifty:

    Yes, I like standard circulation silver! Need to do better about focusing on higher grades.

    I also love all silver coins, the ones the circulate have so much character to them. I love the Philippines silver coins!

    Yesterday I was reorganizing my paper money collection and took some pictures of my favorite bill in my collection. I found it interesting that when this bill was made which would have been around the series year of 1928 that you could take that bill to a bank and exchange it for 50 dollars in gold coin. I certainly would rather have two double eagles and a eagle over that 50 dollar bill! 20190531_152813.jpg 20190531_152824.jpg 20190531_152846.jpg

    Yeah, I think we all would! That's a neat old note, though. Think of what that could buy (and did buy) 90 years ago. The stock market crash came in '29 and then it was the Great Depression and that 50 bucks would have been an even bigger sum of money to most folks. I'll bet you could have bought an old used car with that, back in the day.

    I need to check out more of the Numista features. So far I have used it only to find KM numbers or weights and diameters and such.

    Welcome to June, everyone.

    I'm about to fire up the random number generator and do the drawings. Will post the May winners soon. (Bear with me, as some of this process is tedious when done via mobile device.)

    Nyatii I like running w/scissors. Makes me feel dangerous

    Yah! Thank you! I'm finally a winner. Although that may be disputed by most people that know me.
