Saw a total eclipse in 1974. A once in a lifetime experience.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have a few hundred clipped blank coin errors that remind me of a TOTAL eclipse.
I can't show you any pictures of them, because the whole of the blank is missing, not just a partial blank, like a partial eclipse.

They are a bit difficult to see in a 2x2; the 2x2 appears to be empty, not a sinister looking black disk, like the sun in a total eclipse.

I, personally, don't find this post very sunny.

I am not that impressed. I have hundreds of varieties of coins which have never been issued. They also fit in empty 2x2s.

I was in Denver, CO, and I had 95% totality. The temperature dropped 20 degrees!

Love the eclipse through the leaves photo!

At the Adler Planetarium in Chicago, they set up a sheet of peg board -- maybe six or eight feet -- so that there would be hundreds of eclipses to view on the ground. Sadly, it was cloudy.

Hmmm - so will someone in the future mistake this for meaning white gold?

I can sure see THAT as an ebay listing.

Interesting write up - thanks for sharing.

That is pretty funny. Talk about tunnel vision!


This is one of my boys, he takes some amazing photos. He was well prepared for the eclipse and got some pretty cool pictures to share.

I have been trying to get him more interested in coin photography, but he spends most of his time gazing at the sky.

Here's a video Mike Kittle did with a Dan Carr solar eclipse token using one of his gold coin club Carr tokens as the sun...
