Very nice pickups. I've been bidding on a few of the Trex, but the price seems to be all over the place. Do you mind me asking what you paid for yours?

I saw the milk token in 2008 and laughed enough about it that I had to have one! I could not believe: 1. The RCM is commemorating WHAT?! (not to belittle milkmen - just never thought about it before!) 2. A milk bottle and cow on a modern coin, 3. the blue (milk - blue - what?!) overlay, 4. and the triangular shape. Had someone told me 40 years ago a coin would be made that looked like this I would have said they were absolutely nuts! And now when I tell people about it, I have to show it to them to prove to them that I am not nuts! Definetely a fun coin to have/own and will always probably be a modern favorite for the above reasons. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

That blue dairy triangle coin is definitely an odd one. I have always like those Fossil coins, an seen them in PoboxW's store before an I think I have seen the bottom hollow gram coin around here perhaps....

But the coin is pretty hilarious, all by itself. I live near the ocean and they're constantly thinking up new ways to celebrate the coast (to promote tourism, of course). I believe this is what the RCM had in mind when someone proposed the idea. Just something new that would entertain the coin buying masses, even if it made little sense at face value. They would have been better off commemorating guitar picks.  |

I probably overpaid a little for this one but I've always loved dinosaurs. I believe that was the very first area of study that influenced by young mind as an impressionable 3rd grader. I think I read every dino book in the elementary school library. I even considered becoming a palaeontologist (or a paleoanthropologist) until my first excavation project in college. That's when I realized getting a degree in ancient ditch digging wasn't for me. The coin cost $51 and I won it on an ebay auction last week. |

"Ancient ditch digging". Perfect :P. I know what you mean though dinosaurs were and still continue to be awesome. I ultimately want to write, but paleontologist would probably be one of my other top choices. Love all that kind of old stuff.
On the topic of the actual coin there's a chance that you may have outbid me for that very same 'rex. I'm pretty sure the one I was in on finished at around that price.

Thanks. If you don't mind me asking, what did you pay? I might get one of these
