I've gotten a DC quarter and a couple of pennies but no other 2009 coins.
Hey, it's almost 2010!

You know, I haven't been on RCC for so long, I forgot my password and
had to reset it!
What check? What card? Clue me in.
When I first got my iPod a few years ago, I loaded it with music and
discovered in the recesses of my hard drive an .mwv of Jim Stonefeel's
phone message that I had downloaded years ago. A keeper.

female on the other side -- Athena -- a female god anyway, commonly
called a goddess.
I just updated by page on modern forgeries of these, adding a lot more
content, both visual and verbal:
http://rg.ancients.info/owls/forgeries.html
I actually have one more on the way and not yet illustrated there, a
donation from a dealer wanting to contribute to this effort. This page
still won't be anywhere near complete, just getting more and more
comprehensive, a hopefully useful service for collectors wanting to buy
what's arguably the most famous coin of all time but not wanting to get
scammed with a fake.

Are you John Carney's sockpuppet?

Not the last time I checked. But I bet you're Athena Parthenos'
sockpuppet. You can say. Just don't tell me you're Pallas Athene's
sockpuppet because I know you're not.

I feel sorry for you, I really do.
But any further reading of your posts can serve no useful purpose so into the
kill-file you go.

Ann, way back when we collected money for Crysta's baby. It was for
that.

Yep, that's it. Shredded.

You're wondering. Really? You must be new to Usenet. <g>

Did I send you another check? (I hope so!) What did we buy for the
baby? A coin, perchance? ;-)

I really don't remember.
We raised a lot of money for that. Well over $500 as I recall. We
bought a bunch of baby supplies from BabiesRUs , a Disney stock
certificate and we got Crysta a $10 Indian Eagle in an ANACS AU slab.
I spoke with Crysta a few weeks ago on Facebook. The "baby" is almost
5 now and she has a new little son. She's doing well.

Have you moved to Colorado too to be a full-time ski bum? I wonder
what ski bums do in the summer. Collect coins, I guess. Not ancient
coins, though. And definitely not Owls. That's a real shame. Actually,
not. The more for me. Now, don't you start collecting Owls. Actually,
feel free. I just won another, a very interesting addition for me,
filling a hole, fixing a hole, actually, where the rain gets in and
stops my mind from wandering where it will go. I think Socrates said
that, actually.
