I need to pull out the albums to see if I have some of the boeuf. They did not throw many this year. A friend of mine on the board of Muses told me that her crew has stopped throwing doubloons due to the cost and I did not get any during Endymion. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinsKelly Pillar of the Community United States 3453 Posts	Posted 04/01/2014 06:19 am Nice . I didn't get a chance to dig through the albums last week-end. I remember when I was very young, my cousins and I would make piles of doubloons and think we were rich. Report this Post to the Staff
carmykle Pillar of the Community United States 2448 Posts	Posted 04/01/2014 11:12 am That was great! Thanks for sharing. I don't know why I never saved any because I keep a paper coin colliection in MPC and PX paper from the desert and my earlier military days. Once again thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

CoinsKelly Pillar of the Community United States 3453 Posts	Posted 04/03/2014 06:49 am I like the 1967 doubloon. If I manage to get pictures this week-end, do you mind if I post them here? Report this Post to the Staff

Circus Pillar of the Community United States 3079 Posts	Posted 04/04/2014 09:58 am I think that I have a total of 130 or so as there were 65 in the bulk buy so I still will be posting for a while. Report this Post to the Staff
Circus Pillar of the Community United States 3079 Posts	Posted 04/05/2014 05:45 am This is a blue anodized one, some of the colored ones have a reeded edge, and are thicker than the plain aluminum ones. I have no idea why the difference other than the colored ones ones may be presentation ones. Report this Post to the Staff
