Hello you. I am, IamPotato, I am a 36 year old dude, and I am an unapologetic potty mouth and idiot. Glad we got that out of the way. I am not going to lie to you, I joined up here to somewhat gently use you. I hope that's okay. Now that you know my intentions I'll tell you a little bit about myself so that you may decide if that is okay. My great grandfather as a young man immigrated from Ireland with his mother and two brothers in 1896. His mother did not even make it to America dying of sickness on the cramped boat. When they arrived in America they landed in New Orleans he told his brothers to wait while he inquired where to go to ask about finding work. Unfortunately in the few minutes he was gone his brothers disappeared. After investigation the police informed him they had been grabbed and most likely sold into white slavery and that they were sorry but that's all they could find out. He took the Mississippi to Illinois, where doing as we Irish were known to do, he began taking the worst jobs no one wanted and saving and working more. He was able to get some land and started a sawmill, he was a whiz at sawmilly things and began making quite a lot money, becoming the first man in the county to own a car, and later his own plane. Anyway he became a hoarder. At one point it is said he had 30 coffee cans of Gold Kugerands, 5 cans of which were stolen by a relative and 3 cans which are still unaccounted for. Anyway upon his death in 1986 I was given my share of silver coins which were given to all the great grand children that came to the amount of 6 mint bags of walking liberty's, Peace dollars, morgans, barbers Mercury dimes etc. I was 5 years old, I'm pretty sure all I did was try to eat them. Anyway they were kept for me and given to me again at age 12. Among the bags, wrapped in tissue paper the size of a softball was a 1916 S Walking Liberty that was without exaggeration as wholly luminescent as the sun. It was my prize, and it has captivated me to this day. At 36 I still have never laid eyes upon her equal. She has no equal. I want to share her with you right now... but I cannot because of heinous treachery, most foul. She, and my 6 bags of silver, and my grandfathers prized 1871 Colt Single Action Army, and Colt 1911 he carried through the entire Pacific campaign of WW2 and my father carried through Vietnam, in fact everything that was in my safe (as the entire safe was cut out of my floor) were stolen in 2009 All that was left were 2 Peace dollars and 4 walking libertys (two of which I found in a dried up creek bed behind his house) that happened to be in my car. My beloved Colt SAA and 1911 were found at pawn shop 3 years ago and returned to me. But none of my coins were ever found. Anyway I just have two error coins I was wanting to ask about so I'm gonna head over to the error stuff. I honestly hope you didn't waste your time reading all that. Winky face emoticon.
