The Simpsons Donut Coin - or D'OH nut

This kind of silliness is partly what killed stamp collecting. Why do people buy this stuff?

Be better without the Queen on it, even as small as her portrait is lol.

 

Bloody awful

 

Now I'm hungry. There is a Dunkin Donuts 1.5 miles from me, 5 minutes in the car. And I know this now because of this post. Sigh. In general I don't collect the colorized stuff, but they do have some interesting crossovers.

That said attempting a bullion 'type collection' became the gateway drug to my current collection. (I was looking to stack a tiny bit of gold before I knew what stacking meant, and wanted variety). 'Something Japanese' was needed as I was living there at the time, and so began a hunt for a gold Japanese commem. From there, well lets just say I've got a bunch of bean money and pre-Meiji stuff on my dining room table that I was just going through.

But in addition to all that 'serious' stuff I do also collect the colorized prefecture coins, which are a pretty neat little trip around Japan. Colorized commems and I still like them. Go figure. The 'collectible bullion' has been converted to more 'real coins' though, but a few Britannias persist.

The original commemorative:


Colorized foolishness to some, but I still like it:

 

It actually sold out! How many I wonder. Nuts. And I don't mean "nuts, I wish I could have gotten one"!

 

crossovers, so to speak...getting others possibly interested in them, maybe eventually "real" coins, too?? lol

 

Can't imagine what it's like to have to grade a pink donut "ultra cameo". Kind of implies that they have to distinguish it from a plain cameo pink donut.

 

Strange but true. I alluded to it in my wordy post above. The TL;DR read version--shopping for bullion landed me interested in 'real coins'.

The NCLT can be a gateway 'drug' for more 'serious' coins too. Especially for the younger crowd.

 

Like the Queen is clearly saying in this portrayal, "We are not amused."
