    Really? How old are you if I might ask, I've always tough you're a teenager like the most of us.

    I'm over thirty but under forty.

    The bhoy part of my name is a Celtic fan thing


    My son is a teenager though, but still too young to know the meaning of what I wrote.


    Incidently, why do I have four balls? Is there a new limit to how many balls you get for posts? I thought you needed thousands for four?

    So your 29?:)

    And do you know the actual story behind bhoy? What is it? Is it something? Or just a irish way or spelling boy or something?

    Well, I've got Roman, Greek, Celtic, British, American, Canadian, Australian,..the list go on really.:D

    For the millenium I got my hands on a special set of silver proofs from all around the world. Nice.:angel:

    It's mostly coinage rather than paper money.


    Maybe someday they'll be worth something:dontcare:
    hey I have a US dollar coin from the 1850's.. I wonder how much it worth..

    No, it's just the Scottish accent corrupting the Queen's tongue. :D

    What I do during my freetime is normally hanging out with friends (most of the time either at Starbucks or Coffee Bean, and the occasional weekend parties once or twice in a month), or go out for movies, played some Pool and sometimes even go out for a bit of bowling. I don't normally read even though I would like to try reading some good books hopefully if someone can recommend some.

    And now that I've just bought my Canon Powershot A80 (4 days ago), hopefully photography will be something I may add to my list of pastimes. Still an ameteur with digicams, so some of the pictures did not turn out as great as Gray's or Martin's. But hopefully it'll get better with time. Now if only I can get it to connect to my PC :)() to show some of the things I've taken :). It has been a pain in the ass trying to get it connected.

    no.. it has a face of a native indian and it's not bronze.. I think it's a silver coin, but not sure.. it's so old.. it's from the year 1851

    Jeez...you've got me flummexed.


    I've tried everwhere to try and find an American coin from 1851 with an Indian head. The dollars all had Liberty at that time like the one below (It's silver...just a crap scan). Maybe you got a rare one there man:eek:

    The Indian Head didn't come in till about 1859, and that was a cent.


    Any chance of seeing a scan?:confused:

    I love things like this:D
