But Steve, you'll always be 3 hours younger than those 'older folks' in the east during a day. You also get up 3 hours later than those 'elders'.

There's more to be had Stevo, go for it ! (Geeze, those are nice!)

I'm bitter at all government entities.
Here is another reason, and this IS the truth !!!
I pay all of my income taxes and on time.........and I'm fined every year. It is wrong!!

I saw that coin on display at the Canadian mint in Winnipeg about 7 or 8 yrs ago. There was a canvas web around the display area with a cop with a side arm on his belt.
The admission to the mint was Canadian $5 which then was $1 USA = 85 cents Canadian. I had no $5 Canadian notes so I gave them a $5 U S note, waited for some change,(didn't get any) and walked in. On a tour, the power went out all over the building and after 10 minutes, a loud speaker told the people to leave and their money would be refunded. At the refund register, I was handed a $5 Canadian note, in which I commented that I gave a $5 U S A note......I would like one back. The person refunding the money said that they weren't allowed to do that. (Anything for the buck) I took the $5 Canadian and left. Ah, such memories.....getting hosed (cheated) by a government entity, which is common.

As for trades A J, I have many U S coins......15,000? They are all common with a few semi-common. I have all of the U S denominations from !864 to 1970 and prefer not to trade anything before 1916. Need anything?

Thanks AJ for the offer of Aussie & Kiwi coins. I goofed on the mile/km calculation. It won't happen again.

Went to a 90+ table coin show 65 miles (40Km) away. Purchased 5 more generic silver rounds at $18 each. Also purchased some VG to F foreign coins, Australia, New Zealand, Austria, and Straits Settlements.....all silver. Their prices for other coins were very high....about 1/3rd over listed retail prices. About 40% of sales I saw were people buying bullion. I saw one elderly guy (77-?) plop down $2000 U S cash for (11) 10 oz bars. It was a good show which is held twice a year.

MORE.....MORE !

British officials are trying to trace the owner of a trove of gold coins found stashed inside a piano. When the piano's owners took it to be tuned last year, it was found to contain a hoard of gold sovereigns minted between the mid-19th and early 20th centuries. The investigators have determined that the piano was built in London in 1906 and sold to a pair of piano teachers.

Luckily Aldi didn't have a 6 pack......she'd be jumping into next week.

May the Coin Gods smile on you today!

Thanks to everyone for the info. And Steve, you're right on the weight......I goofed. Using my 2.2 figure, I wondered why this item was so cheap.....it wasn't at $1200 U S dollars. No, I won't purchase it......I'll stick with 1 oz silver rounds.

Today I came across a silver 2012 P, 2.2 Kg "Year of the Dragon" Australian silver $30 'coin'. What would one of theses be worth in U S or Aussie dollars ? (I can convert U S/AD) I held the thing....it's heavy......70.74 troy ounces.

Hobbies; #1 is driving...34K-km/yr, waterfowl hunting, coins, metal detecting, and stacking silver.

I'm wondering who was the first person to look at a cow and thought: "I think I'll squeeze those dangly things and drink whatever comes out."
