The Coinery Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 I think I have what the Chinese would agree is the Luckiest Coin EVER. The CGS grade for this coin is: 88 The UIN for this coin is: 8888 The year is 1953 . . . . And in this there is even more luck: 9 -1 = 8 . . . .5+3 = 8 So 88 + 8888 + 8 + 8 = A very lucky year. I looked hard for a Rooster but only found Lions, a Harp and The Queen. I tried to make a "Fowl" or "Bird" related word from the Reverse and Obverse inscriptions but none with mentioning. Have you ever seen a luckier coin ? Quote

1949threepence Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Well the number of border teeth can quickly be counted by the eagle eyed. I'll be watching out for such coins like a hawk in future Quote
Bronze & Copper Collector Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) Can you imagine if this were a Condor token? Or does that take Ostrich of the imagination??? Possibly we are all Raven mad... or just flying high like a Kite..... Edited February 8, 2017 by Bronze & Copper Collector Quote

Bronze & Copper Collector Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) I wouldn't want to RAIL around like an old COOT and hear everyone GROUSE. We may not be SWIFT nor are we CUCKOO although some of us may be GULLable. We do have a STORK, not sure if anyone is a LOON, although I am sure none of us is a BUSTARD. And please, no WRENching of hands nor FOWL language.. Edited February 8, 2017 by Bronze & Copper Collector 1 Quote
