The Curious Case of a Country Club's Coin That Went from Dallas to England and Back Again

I am not one to criticize other people with
their spelling and grammar, since I often
do not proof read what I type out. I have to
say, the word "Fascinatingish" is a bit new
for me to pronounce. It is a first for me to
see it use in a sentence.

The Curious Case of a Country Club's Coin That Went from Dallas to England
and Back Again

Fascinatingish little story this morning in the
Northumberland Gazette concerning a rare coin
and a faraway country club -- the Lakewood
Country Club, to be a wee bit more specific. A
hospice in Northumberland was sifting through
some coins donated for a fund-raising auction
when it discovered a particularly odd
offering -- a 72-year-old Chicago-struck coin
featuring "a goat staring at a golf ball
while the players look on."
The folks from HospiceCare North Northumberland
contacted the Lakewood Country Club, who
discovered, yup, it was theirs all right, and
the LCC would up buying the trinket for about
$100 on an eBay auction. Says LCC president
Gerard Whelan, "I have ... given thought to
potentially having new coins made to distribute
to the membership in honour of the centennial,"
which is 2012. "We also have discussed using
the coin as a model for bag tags to be attached
to members and guests' golf bags." That's how
you make some coin.

the privilege of taking to Alaska. It went to Spain after that, and
who knows what happened to it then.

I have been in sporadic contact with him. He has moved cross-town, and
has been VERY busy at work. I am holding a number of items for him, at
his request, until he gets settled.
