Coins that evoke curiosity
"stonej" wrote in message oups.com... http://www.newindpress.com/NewsItems... rala&Topic=0 I think we have talked about which coins arouse the curiosity of non-collectors before. I can show anything I have (coin this is :-) and the response is often a ho hum how nice response. If I show a dirt encrusted Roman coin the response is much different. The coins that get the most response in my experience are the coins with a prominent swastika at least in my corner little of the globe. The only unusual coin on my get someday list is a piece of Canoe money. Dale |

When I go to pay for purchases, I usually have exact change in my pocket, so out comes everything. Some cashiers (and the customers behind me) see that big hunk of silver and go, "Ooo, what is that?" They almost don't believe me when I tell them, "It's a REAL silver dollar." That inevitably leads to a discussion about Morgans, Peace, Ikes, Sacs (nobody talks about Suzies) and SAEs. Jerry You can't buy this kind of entertainment. |

Interesting comment, I have gotten the same responce when I show the "Good Luck" token I have in my display, that contains a swastika on it,............apparently it was a good luck symbol until Hitler and his boys came along,................ |

I have a UK "good luck" greetings card that features a swastika on the front, it dates from the 1920's I think. Billy |
