Where there is matthew and poetry, I must be there too!  My "V" collection, Is not as large. But it still wants redemption, compared to me vincent is a barge, and I am just at attention. Of all my coins, there are but four, old and faithful V's, but their condition is not poor, so see them with a breeze. And this concludes my little tale, about my four old "V"s. So dont make me post my bail, and feel, my friends, at ease. Edited by tzarmarko

My apologies in advance to Mr. Wordsworth.... "For oft when on my couch I lie, in vacant or in pensive mood. They flash upon that inward eye, which is the bliss of solitude. And then my heart with pleasure fills, and dances with my V-Nickellls".... Edited by paleoguy45

(To those who think that I did cheat: Well, let me 'xplain it true. In Tonga land 'tis 3 of Oct. Amidst Pacific blue.) Let loose the dogs of war today Wherever you may be. "Release the posts!" Say I with glee In praise of Nickles "V." The current time and date right now in Tonga is 4:48 AM Wednesday, October 03, 2012 Standard Time +1300 UTC ---- 1883 Year one of issue, "oops" were made. And caused a problem dire. "No Cents" had made for problems harsh As clever crooks conspire. So one with "cents" and one "without" A third with plating queer. A genuine five dollar piece To make the story clear. Compare the two, and you will see How folks were scammed so neat. A lesson for us all to learn As history repeats. And repeats, and repeats, and repeats ... No Cents   With Cents   Gold plated   Genuine $5 gold piece   I ASKED you Moe, to answer plain, Official starting time. Forgive me Moe. I promise this: "To keep up with the rhyme!"  |

Tonga choose to be 13 hours ahead for a reason:
To make sure that their morning prayers were to be the first heard by God.
What with the onslaught of 1883s to come I saw my chance to come in first
and I grabbed it!
All in good fun?

Oh, rhyme will do that to lad!
Of that I do agree!
So post away, ye friends of mine
With nickles marked with "V."
As has been said:
"It is always 'Happy Hour' somewhere in the world!"

I have not tested my verse in many a year I've been know to bring down a house even shed a tear. (that's terrible ) My timing may be off, my heart is in the right place As we wait for the hour to come I shall fill up some space.  Patience is a virtue which I do not hold
As I build a collection of copper, silver and gold.
Where is the nickel, our tough and hardened friend?
Our faithful companion, the half-dime pretend.
Show what you have, discuss if you must
Offer comments of others, but control your lust.
I only have a few to share, so I will wait my turn
Many will show different dates and types to discern.
Open up your security boxes, dust off your folders
Charge up your cameras, clean up your coin holders.
Be careful of your lighting, but not too much glare
Focus not once but twice, show your best to compare.
From the lowest of lows to the highest of highs
Bestow upon the beauties, prepare for gasps and sighs.
The world is a stage, which is subject to debate
Watch your calendar carefully and don't post too late.Edited by oih82w8

"Day after day... Day after day... We stuck, nor breath, nor motion..... As idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean".... Coleridge
You're right about the "time on our hands"!!
