Some of you may know I am a casual--
very casual--coin collector. I don't have a particularly exciting collection nor is it particularly valuable (well, I have a couple of things collectors might covet) and I don't specialize as most collectors do. I merely accumulate those things that strike my fancy,
e. g.,
micronation currency (
Wirtland,
Sealand,
Conch Republic),
American Silver Eagles,
early American commemoratives, and so forth and so on.
My most recent purchase, "recent" as in 9:00 p. m. this evening, was a 1973 Cook Island dollar I'd been coveting for some time now:
Yeah, kind of boring, but I didn't get it for the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II; I got it for the image of
Tangaroa on the reverse:
Amongst numismatists this is known as "the Naughty Dollar."
Yeah, I'm easily amused; what the heck, it keeps me off the streets.
