The "beaten path" has become more of a TRENCH to my mailbox now..

Hope everyone had a good Easter holiday!

I have been keeping an eye on my account at the Mint website, and am anxiously awaiting the arrival of my 2008 W Uncirc Silver Eagle.

Not that I can SEE the mailbox anymore as I have now worn about a 7 foot deep trench from my walking and pacing to the mailbox.

Can't wait to see it and subsequently get it graded later in the year. If the uncircs look anything like the Proofs, I'll be happy as ever.

I was looking (again) at my cedar chest treasures (as I call them) the other day, and can't help but find the 1943 "Reichs Pfenig" (WW2 3rd Reich Penny) extremely creepy. It's the German version of our steel 1943 penny....has a swastika and eagle on it. Can't help but pause and say a prayer for those who suffered at the hands of the 3rd Reich when I see that coin...

Strange how these coins invoke such feelings.

Thanks again for reading, have a great night!
