Lots of Summertime Registry Stuff

I just returned from a great vacation in the New Hampshire White Mountains. My wife and I hiked a few trails, sipped the local brews (well me, she is hard to get away from the Pinot Grigio), and of course pursued and caught a bunch native wild brookies on the fly, they are not big but lots of fun on a 3 wt.

On to coins, and to remember the 2000 NH state Quarter, I have attached a pic of where the Old Man in The Mountain once stood, (he fell in 2003) watchfully overlooking Profile Lake. Today, park visitors can look through an installed profiler , and marry up the image of where the Old Man of the Mountain once resided, pretty cool. Also, visited the Flume Gorge nearby, a true natural wonder !

Next,I already booked a few shows, finally getting back to FUN in Jan, my RCI timeshare works well , and I am locked in for the final Orlando show before it moves to Tampa. I also will be in GA in August visiting my mom, and checking out my property in Blairsville so added the Blue Ridge Show in Dalton to the trip.

I will shortly be making plans to attend the NH Coin Show in Manchester in Oct and Balt as always in November, gotta love retirement at 60, OMG I will be 60 in less than 4 weeks and life is good, with my buddy Bogarts absence the lone negative. All on the board that read my GOOD FOR A SCENT journal will be happy to know that we are hopefully on track for another mini schnauzer this November and that will be the best of all !

Regarding the registry, just got back last month eight 1/20 oz Pandas from NGC grading , 4 came back 70 , the other 4 were graded 69. The set sits at # 4 , pretty funny, my highest ranked set !

I also terminated my 19th Century type set without gold, and re-created it with Gold as I am scheduled to receive my Saddle Ridge Hoard coin this week. Kagins was easy to work with and held delivery until my return from vacation. I am pretty finicky on my registry sets, I have a self imposed 1 coin to 1 set rule so expanding to the full 19th century set seemed the best route for me.

Oh, and finally, the reason that stimulated my urge to post, just checked the US Mint website and see that my $5 Unc HOF commem is on the way. I am now sitting at 195K points and soon rockets will flare, bells and whistles will go off whoo whoo !!!

Hope everybody is having a great summer. I read the Wissahickon Fathers Day journal the other day, much reflection, my dad a WWII vet passed a few years ago and I always think of the opportunities to succeed that I was afforded.

As always, thanks for reading,

Rich
