Off topic - But just plain fun...no collectors, no collections. 0

We can't have collections if there are no collectors.

I love it!!! But someone plucked poor Frankie....either that or he needs some Theropod Formula Rogaine.  He should look like this:

However, bald though he may be, his message is right on.

That should be the Montana state bird -- and on their state quarter !

I would be in complete favor of that, Roger!  A nice Deinonychus with its majestic plumage would be a huge improvement over a dead bison's head which is somehow larger than mountains floating in the sky.

My state's quarter (New York) needs some help also.  I propose my new, old friend Appalachiosaurus there:

Appalachiosaurus is the spitting image of my Ex in divorce court. Hair even looks the same.

the coming (partly already here) hyper inflation will wipe out many collectors well before climate change.

Reminds me of the guy running a shabby convenience store in NW. GA.....

[Mohawk]

Appalachiosaurus is having a pretty exciting life for an animal that has been dead for 66 million years ......it got divorced from Ronnie and now it's running a shabby convenience store in Georgia!  I'm waiting to hear that our local NGC Boards hero, SlickCoins, bought that damned fake 1793 Large Cent that he keeps prattling on about from an Appalachiosaurus now.

Will they have a table at the next ANA?

I hope so.  And I hope that they advocate to get the former Zerbe award named for them.  The ANA Appalachiosaurus Distinguished Service Award.......it has a nice ring to it, don't you think?  And I don't think we have to worry too much about the Appalachiosaurus having some rather unpleasant skeletons coming out of its closet once its name is on the award, unless it is indeed the one selling some of our "friends" here the "coins" that they see fit to grace us with from time to time or engaged in sketchy business practices at its Georgian convenience store.

The one where the legal counsel explains why the ANA can’t do the stuff you want them to, yeah.

Start it in 2023, when the ANA show is near the Appalachians.

I think GBrad lives next to that convenience store in Georgia. Greg, part ownership? Just Kidding, Detective Bradford.

RWB....... I am in complete disbelief here at your comment which I know was directed towards yours truly!  I completely resemble that statement, sir!!!! How dare you liken me to a Georgia hillbilly running a shabby store in GA??? (but I have thought about opening a reputable coin store around here....) just sayin...

That'd be perfect!! We can have the placeholder award until 2023 and then it's the Year of the Appalachiosaurus!!!

Yes, Greg.....are you Appalachiosaurus' business partner?  But, hey, if you are, I'm envious!! Even though it's been dead for 66 million years, it's having a much more exciting life than I am!!!!

That's amazing!!!! I love it!! And I'm thrilled to death that Appalachiosaurus has become a minor celebrity on the NGC Boards!!

And yes Kurt..... please let's do wait until it comes around to our neck of the woods, great proposal!  I don't have the means or funds to travel far from my Appalachian Country territory... That is unless a 1974 aluminum LMC were to roll out of one of my bank wrapped rolls.....  Hey.... Ya gotta dream big, crazier things have happened!!!! (Yes, I know... keep on a dreaming and dreaming is exactly what that is..)😞

Glad your thrilled Mohawk. If it would've just closed its mouth all of the way it wouldn't remind me of the Ex so much. Nah, that wouldn't help, too many similarities. I'll work through it. celebrity it is.

Long chain of mountains, though. I’m talking about Pittsburgh, as in PA (includes the h), not TN, (without the h.)

Yes, very long chain of beautiful mountains for sure. I'd be hard pressed to ever leave them.  However, depending on how you pronounce Georgia, such as Ghaawgha (as some of our lovely Deep Southern ladies do) it could very well contain an h.
