China Lunar Series Zodiac Year Of The Snake Color Proof
$19.99Over the years I have handled many Chinese Lunar Series pieces, but these are among the nicest I have ever seen. —1917, 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001—People born in the Year of the Snake are deep. They say little and possess great wisdom. They never have to worry about money; they are financially fortunate. Snake people are often quite vain, selfish, and a bit stingy. Yet they have tremendous sympathy for others and try to help those less fortunate. Snake people tend to overdo, since they have doubts about other people’s judgment and prefer to rely on themselves. They are determined in whatever they do and hate to fail. Although calm on the surface, they are intense and passionate. Snake people are usually good-looking and sometimes have marital problems because they are fickle. They are most compatible with the Ox and Rooster.
Somalia Year Of The Dog Bulldog 2006 250 Shilling Uncirculated
$19.99Bull-baiting, was the sport that these powerhouses were bred for back in the 16th and 17th centuries in England. This gambler’s sport entailed tying a bull to a post and sending a number of bulldogs after him. The bulldog’s unusual build and appearance are a direct result of this tough upbringing. Their squat faces enabled the dog to breathe while latched onto a massive bull and the wrinkles kept blood out of their eyes and away from its nose. There are a great variety of Bulldogs now as the sport which defined them was outlawed centuries ago so their characteristics have changed to suit other activities. These dogs are not particularly ferocious and are good family dogs. They are very loving, protective, and naturally stubborn.

Cook Islands Regalskeppet Vasa 2006 One Dollar Crown BU
$19.99Okay, every now and then there’s an innovation in numismatics that truly bamboozles me. This world coin has (believe it) friction/odor tech (better known as “scratch and sniff”). Now I like the smell of money well enough but this is one step beyond and this coin actually emits the smell of gunpowder and smoke when the image of the ship is rubbed! That’s getting into the buccaneer spirit! And it’s appropriate considering that the “Regalskeppet Vasa” (also Wasa) was a Swedish 64-gun ship of the line, built for King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden of the House of Vasa, between 1626 and 1628. The Vasa capsized on its maiden voyage due to a “gust” on a windless day! Its sinking was most likely due to the king’s insistence on modifying the design of the ship himself which awkwardly lengthened the vessel and raised its center of gravity up to an easy tipping point. While the ship never fired a shot it did act as the final resting place of about 50 of her crew. I’ll bet they’d loved to have let King Gustavus smell some powder! If you’re a collector of world coins and have an affinity for buccaneers, privateers, or ships then this world coin would make an extraordinary addition to your world coin collection.

Now I like the smell of money well enough but this is one step beyond and this coin actually emits the smell of gunpowder and smoke when the image of the ship is rubbed! That’s getting into the buccaneer spirit! And it’s appropriate considering that the “Christian den Syvende,” built in 1767 for Denmark’s schizophrenic Monarch, King Christian VII, was a massive three-decked ship of the line. It had 90 guns and a crew of 849 men and saw about 40 years of service! If you’re a collector of world coins and have an affinity for buccaneers, privateers, or truly impressive ships then this world coin would make an extraordinary addition to your world coin collection.

That’s getting into the buccaneer spirit! And it’s appropriate considering that the French vessel “Redoutable”, launched as “Suffren” in 1791, saw service all the way from mutiny to Trafalgar. It was from Redoutable that a French marksman shot Lord Horatio Nelson!

And it’s appropriate considering that the “USS Chesapeake”, a 36-gun sailing frigate of the U.S. Navy, was one of the six original frigates authorized for construction by the Naval Act of 1794. She saw service from 1799 until May 20th 1813 when she was defeated by HMS Shannon. It was from the deck of the “Chesapeake” that the immortal command “Don’t give up the ship!” was uttered.

And it’s appropriate considering that the English carrack, the “Mary Rose,” saw service from 1510 until her sinking on July 18th of 1545 during an engagement with the Spanish Armada. Apparently the crew forgot to close the lower decks gun ports as she heeled to in a breeze causing her to fill with water drowning all but 35 of her undisciplined crew!
