Revenant Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 On 7/24/2022 at 10:14 AM, Fenntucky Mike said: Maybe he already has one. We were chatting about the new Zim gold "coin" being released the other week, across the aisle, so I dug this out of storage and posted a pic of it. I don't think he was impressed. Though I might as well post it over here as well, just haven't had a free moment to do so until today. Ah, well, sorry if my response underwhelmed. I've actually been told on multiple occasions by my wife that I'm a bit of a horrible gift recipient - People give me things and I quietly sit there looking at it - examining it because I'm curious but not being very outwardly happy usually. I'm also usually not a very effusive person even though my excessive use of " " might suggest otherwise. Anyway... Yeah. I do like those. I find them interesting from a historical / collecting perspective, in much the same way I find the 2001 gold coins they made interesting. But, if I'm being honest, I do find the coin design a bit underwhelming. They have the same feel and spirit to them as those old US Assay office rounds. I also find it odd and a little interesting that it's a SILVER coin celebrating the opening of the Zimbabwe GOLD refinery. To coinbuff's point though (and yours) no. I don't own one, but I could definitely be down to get one if one came up at an attractive price. Sorry. I think it's been a solid 1-1.5 months since I've been active over here. Wanna know something horrible? I filled out all the paperwork for that coin submission three weeks ago, bound up all the coins in groups of flips 2 weeks ago and they're still in the house. I'm working on boxing them up, printing a label and scheduling a pick-up. If these don't get back by December, it's my own dang fault but... life is never dull with a 6 year old and a 3 year old with CP.even when you have the extreme luxury of working from home.

I'm not a troll. But i am simple in my childlike exuberance towards the coins i find, and my wanting to share the images of said coins. That's really where all this ends for me. That's really what all any of this was about for me, especially over on CT. My daily finds thread there had 140+ pages! 70+thousand views! It was loved by all. Oh well. I'm over here now, and whether anyone is looking, or not, is really zero concern to me. I should have started posting back in March, when i got banned, but I'm lazy.

Henri Charriere Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 @jimbo27: I saw that '87 Top 100 "Gator," and was immediately intimidated into silence. The coin, which appears to be without blemish on its reverse, is still a quite respectable MS-65 and speaks for itself. (I didn't even know there was a Top 100 attribution.) You've done very well for yourself here! 🐓 CoinJockey73 and jimbo27 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
