So I was in town today and going to help a friend on a job when I noticed a store that I have seen thousands of times over the last 20+ years and never noticed the whole name.
I knew they had Pokemon and sports cards because people always mentioned that, plus they have posters all over but I never noticed that it was now called Penny's Cards, Coins and Collectables.
This is how I always remembered it.
I never thought to take a photo inside but it was amazing. The right side had all of the coins and I couldn't believe how beautiful some of them were, (and how expensive).
I found one in my price range and it was glorious. I had forgotten to take my phone with me so I couldn't look anything up to see if I was getting ripped off but I didn't care. When I saw this coin, I had to have it.
It was $109.99 and when I said I would take it, he told me I could have it for a hundred. I accepted his lowball offer and grinned like a school boy as he put it in its packaging and handed it to me.
This is also the first time I didn't want to take the coin out of the plastic and play with it. I can tell it feels amazing by looking at it. This almost feels like some sort of a sickness. Since I got home and showed it to my wife, I told her to put it somewhere safe and have gone to look at it twice already. It has only been two hours.
I'm really happy that I bought this and I can see more in my future. Right now I have a cheque from the scrapyard for $118 and I will probably load up all of my aluminum and take it in so I can buy the $250 Snowflake coin. It was so beautiful but out of my price range. If only I had found the cheque before I bought The Caribou.
Nah, I would want to have them both anyhow. I can't believe how exquisite these coins are now and I wonder how they do it with the colours and crystals and all that. I see what
