I'm Rick. I'm not a coin collector. and only joined your site in order to identify a rather beat-up Canadian penny that I found in an abandoned railway bed.
I collect minerals and fossils instead. I have my own Lunar sample (in the form of cutting-dust from sectioning a Lunar rock specimen), about a dozen gem-quality secondary meteorites (called Moldavites, they look like very good Peridots, and include a few faceting-grade specimens), and fossils ranging from dinosaur eggs to fossilized bug eye-balls to a fossilized turtle's butt.
I work for National Defense, in Oromocto NB, and call Woodstock home.
The president of the Florncville Collectors' Club had a son that is a geologist by trade and collects all that. So does C.C.F. member SPP-Ottawa.
Here is the "what else do you collect" thread if you want to show off your fossils/rocks. I have a few seashells and leaf fossils from Cape Breton Island but nothing to amazing.
