Coin Toss

Mama always told me not to set a reserve price. Local coin geek Mark always insisted there were people far nuttier than he was. We just kept giving him more beer until he got quiet again.

And by the looks of this Wikipedia entry, the coins are very well-known and documented. Still, there are a whole lot of other things I can think of to spend $5 million on. I mean, there's all those pre-war Alfas out there, an obvious choice for essentially everyone else!

Hey, thanks for the beer, man. And quit trying to make me go sit next to Mark.

There was a big coin show up in Baltimo' a few years ago where they had all five 1913 Liberty (or "V") nickels together. Under very secure conditions. I got to see 'em. *geeky snort*

Hey, no one ever forced you to sit next to me! ;-)
