Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Obama's two cents' worth


Figuratively speaking, of course.


It wasn't quite that much.

Good video, good explanation. He said he took out all the wheat pennies. I'm wondering if their are any Indian head pennies in that pile?

Japs -

Hey, bud, nice to see you around. Sorry I never got back to you on that email thing, just kinda lost interest.

"I'm wondering if their are any Indian head pennies in that pile?"

Well, I spotted a couple of 1909 VDBs and a '55 double-die, but that's par for any large pile of pennies.

I can't imagine what my pile of WWII zinc pennies would be worth today. (cringe)

Of course, if we're going to go that direction, mention "comic books" and I'll break down in tears. I had half a garageful of the things back in 1960. I was looking at my retirement fund and didn't even know it.

Rats.

Anyway, yes, cool vid, and nicely demonstrated on his part.
