Any coin collectors on here? I've always thought it was something I'd like to get into and any time I run across something unusual, I'll put it aside. I've just never taken the time to pursue it. I'm not just old, I'm old school. I still take any loose change I have at the end of the day and throw it in a shoe box in the closet. I'll stay faithful with it and then take it to the coin changey thingy machine at the store and get some folding money to use on vacation or whatever. Took the latest batch Monday and walked out with $360.00.
Anyway, I always comb through the coins before I take them and see if anything of interest made its way into the pile. This time, I found One Centavo from the Phillipines from 1940. Minted in America when the Phillipines was under US Administration. Looked it up and it's worth between $2.00 and $5.00 depending on condition. Also found a penny with the face of Elizabeth II on one side and of all things, a crab on the back. The inscription is Elizabeth II Bailiwick of Guernsey. Googled Chromes showed Guernsey to be a small island in the English Channel.
I just find researching the origins and history of some of these coins to be extra keen. Anyone do any collecting of coins or other neato stuff, like baseball cards etc.?

I use a coffee can, the big one, with clit in the top. I love sound of coins against the tin, then coins on coins. I keep real copper pennies and real nickel, nickels. Silver coins are great to come across, but it's been years since I've come across any. I first collected stamps, then coins.

I'm waiting for the Malcom X tens. Those will bring in some serious coin someday.

When it comes down to business, this is what I do. I pinch it like this. OOH you little fuck. Then I rub my nose with it.

+1 here.
Mostly cards from my glory days when I was playing Little League ball. I have Wade Boggs, Tony Gwynn and Cal Ripken Jr. rookie cards along with a plethora of guys that wore the stirrups with the short pants. My most prized card though is my Pony League card from when I played for the local Dodgers. I almost crossed the Mendoza line that year. Good times!

Collected comics growing up, mostly Marvel. Had stacks of them from way back. Have no idea if there was any value to them, just liked to stockpile them and go back and re-read em'. Had been out of town and came home to find my room in disarray. My mom had decided my room needed some changes. First thing I noticed were my comics being gone.
Wait...what? Where's all my comics?
I threw those old things out. You'd had them for years.
WHAAAAAAAAT THE HELL??????
Things went downhill quickly from there. When my pops got home, he naturally whipped my ass to a soda water finish. Slapped me to sleep. I'm telling the truth, last week was not a good week for me.

I used to collect comics. Got some Batman back to the 50s.
But the talk of Playboy reminds me of a story. (What doesn't at this age).
Back during my shameful years when I made the worst decision of my life and enrolled at the University of Alabama in order to be closer to my girlfriend and my friends from high school, I moved into an apartment that was not far from a facility where they housed mentally challenged veterans -- I guess that's what they were.
There was this one guy who was a resident there and he would walk out the gate, across the highway and stroll through the neighborhood. We would be outside shooting basketball and see him shambling along, talking to himself and shaking and jittering like he was being electrocuted. He had a cigarette in his mouth at all times and if he didn't light the next one off the one that was burning, he had no hope of lighting another because his hands shook too much to use a lighter or matches. My friends and I were sort of assholish at the time I suppose. We named him Shakin' Jake.
Just up from our apartment complex was a convenience store. Friend of mine had a job there and sometimes when he needed to be somewhere else (girl-related) he'd call me to come cover for him. Got me arrested, but that's a different story. One day I was up there and Shakin' Jake came in. There was a little girl in there with her mom. She was getting a drink out of the cooler and Jake came up behind her. He reached up to get a Pepsi and said in a deep, gravelly voice (think a cross between Dumbledore and Foster Brooks) said "You ought to get a peh-peh-pehhhh-pppp-BLLUUUUAAAAARGGGFFFF" Puked on the kid's head. I had to clean that crap up.
Several months later I was alone at the apartment. I think it was spring break or something, I had no money and all my roomates were gone. I come out of the shower and can see down the hall that the front door is standing open. I put a towel around my waist and walk into the living room. Jake was sitting in the only chair we had. The crazy bastard had gone into the fridge and gotten himself a glass of tea. Being college students my friends and I had a decent stack of Playboys, Penthouses and other magazines. Jake has his glass of tea and a magazine.
I stand there in amazement, struggling for words. I'm not a complete ass. I realize the guy probably has some mental problems. I recognize that he is a veteran and could have suffered his mental issues while protecting this country. So I try to play it cool.
"What are you doing in my house, man?" I ask him as calmly as possible.
Jake turns to me, lifts up the magazine and holds it out in my direction. In his rocks-tumbled-in-syrup voice he growls out "These pitcher books makes mah dick hawrd!"
My response quickly changed to Get. The. Fuck. Out. Now.
"Wait just a got-damn minute, I ain't even got mah sammich!"
G.T.F.O.N, motherfucker.
He got mad and said he was taking the magazine.
Get. The Fuck. Out.
Even though the four of us who lived in the apartment couldn't pool our money and come up with $5, I also dragged the chair out. Doused it with lighter fluid and set it on fire.
Got in trouble for that too. Locked the doors from that point on, though.

Never one of them. Wore an orange AU sweatshirt in my student ID photo.
Drove a blue mustang with an AU tag on the front and AU stickers in the window. I'm convinced that's why I kept getting tickets and wheel booted.
I hated every second of it. Hated going to class. Hated being on that campus. Did enjoy being a de facto member of the frat most of my friends were in.
I was removed from the institution in my third semester with a GPA of less than 1.

That Dean Werner could be a real asshole. Did he turn your name in to your local draft board?

Son, there ain't no more draft.
The day they kicked me out I met with a woman named Anita Smart. I was moderately intoxicated at the time of the meeting and she was not nearly as amused at my "you need a smart what?" response as I was.
There was also some issue with student loan or financial aid funds that had been squandered on a softball bat, alcohol and greens fees while my tuition remained unpaid. Something about me returning it. Hahaha. No.
And then there was the suggestion that college wasn't for everybody and obviously wasn't for me. At one point I had gone to class so rarely that I turned up to take a final in a room that hadn't housed my class since week two of the semester. I had stayed up all night for two nights reading the entire book and felt prepared. Could have been the pills talking. And I may, just may, have been highly belligerent when told I was in the wrong room.
When she said Alabama no longer wanted me as a student, I reminded her of my national merit finalist statue and told her she would rue the fucking day. I stumbled from her office head held high. And when I got to my car, it was booted again.
