Heh. Has everyone seen Hobie's Desk? Almost as cluttered as mine. :lol:

Hope you find it, maybe might turn up in the next twenty years. :D

The Good:
BlipFest is happening in a few hours

The Bad:
BlipFest is happening in a few hours

The Ugly:
BlipFest won't stop until tomorrow morning

If anyone here sees me there, just waive me off.
My scheduling skills have died of dysentery; I hope to visit at least on a monthly basis.
Still, don't forget to tip your waitress.

1) Awesome
2) Ugh, biology professors are the worst. Sorry, they just are. But knock it out of the park man.
3) Awesome. And if you ever need relationship advice, don't ask for it on a web forum.

I try to keep my coin container clear of excess dimes, nickels and pennies. Yeah sometimes I do use real cash, don't like using the ATM if a purchase is only a few bucks. There is a "Canadian" dime that kept dropping out whenever I dump the coins out on the counter. What a nuisance, when I get home I'll throw it in the jar full of cheap obscure coins. I have wheat pennies and various yen, won, centavos and well you get the idea. I started looking more closely at the coin, OMG a 1945 "Liberty Dime" A very nice surprise! :shock: :shock:

Ticked
Not really, just disappointed but still with a smile. Online coin price guide listed the coin as a MERCURY DIME. This could be worth a couple thousand but very likely only worth, well only one dollar. Some wear, the pillar on the back lost all the ridges and Mercury has thinning hair. 1945 was the last year the Mercury Dime was stamped, so a novelty to keep in its own holder. :mrgreen:

Anyone else use these split coin holder shells? They seem hard to find, maybe more rare then the mercury dime. :lol:

Ticked: I wake up to obnoxious screaming assholes in the next room. They're still screaming 2 hours later about who the hell knows what. What makes it even worse is it sounds like theres some 3 year old girl in their screaming along with them. Seriously, put a god damn cork in it.

Nice. I have a 41, 3 42s, and a 45 myself. My oldest coin is an 1883 Indian penny and my most interesting is a 1938 10 Reichspfennig that my English grandfather had, presumably he acquired it in WW II. That same grandfather gave me a rubber squeeze coin purse and a zippered one when I was younger, but I never got in the habit of using them as I prefer to not have a load of stuff in my pockets.
