Coin Show!
Started out kind of cold weather this morning.
I had a fun time today at the National Money Show with Carl Barrington.
Lots of interesting things to see and learn about including a family in California that discovered rusty cans full of gold coins on their land while they were walking their dog!
One coin alone is worth more than a million dollars!
In fact they said there was over a billion dollars represented in the room.
I liked the US Department of Treasury display.
Ways they made the $100 note harder to forge.
Theodore Roosevelt is my favorite president. I like his coins.
I liked this colonial Georgia money.
Money was raised to fix up the lighthouse on Tybee Island: one of my favorite places!
Confederate money was from this area.
Never too many Gatlin Guns.
I watched them stamp coins.
This could have been one of the 30 pieces of silver given to Judas.
This much money was only traded between banks.
These were the two rarest, most expensive coins. Both were in the millions of dollars. One was only a nickle!
Enjoyed watching one of the printers make awards for veterans.
I liked this bison money.
This was from the colony of Massachusetts before it became part of the USA.
I didn’t spend much today. We got into the show for free. I bought a 1/2 Shekel from Israel. I liked the minora.
And a seal signet ring from the Franklin Mint in Philadelphia. I love anything Franklin. Only $5 for both.
There was a table of fossils. Way overpriced compared to the fossil show.
Filled up with gas on the way home.
Came home and watched the Middle with Kathy. She was pooped and kept falling asleep. I just sent her to bed.
Admin duties now.
