    Friday, January 6th, 2023.

    Predawn in my cheapo hotel room.

    Removed the old hat from its box. Today will be the first time it’s been worn to a coin show in 15 years.

    When last worn, it had nothing but gold holey coins on it, but I sold those during leaner times in the Recession.

    So it’s got somewhat humbler ornamentation now. (But still some pretty fun & cool historical holeys).

    @Paddy54 will note the clipped-planchet 1898 “Remember the Maine” token in front.

    I do recall the 1898 token as it was featured in a article in Error Scope that I wrote. I also see a small coin to the NW of the Maine token that looks very familiar...lol. I am honored to be have two specimens on your hat. Enjoy the show..... BTW my bday is coming.... I like Owls.... ;)

    That’s an 1800 British Maundy penny. Came from you? I have no recollection. I do recall winning an 1800 Maundy penny in a giveaway from NEN years ago, but that one was a slabbed MS piece, not a holey.

    @Paddy54 - thanks for the memory refresher. (And the coins.)

    There’s not only well fed parking lot kitties at my hotel, but rooftop kitties as well! This one has a lopped ear tip, meaning that somebody keeps their colony spayed/neutered. Good for them.

    Hey, @lordmarcovan!

    Could you do me a favor? When you walk through the entrance to the show, could you please check the "free literature" tables to see if a flyer for my Korean Coin book is there? If you have the time...

    Cheers. Wishing you lots of luck at the show!

    I do not see a flyer for your book on these two tables out front, but I could have overlooked them.

    Edit: here’s some info on @mlov43 ‘s newly-published book, if y’all are interested. This is the digital flyer for it, so to speak:
