REB —
You are to be admired and commended. It’s not how you act when the world is watching your every move. It’s what you do when only that infinitely critical person you see in the mirror every morning when you shave is watching.

I don’t think I’ve ever looked so forward to receiving something from the Mint. The gentleman is the husband of my wife’s close cousin. He is possibly one of the most decent human-beings I’ve ever encountered in my life’s travels. I’m sure the two-hour journey to deliver the medal to him will be filled with joy and anticipation. I look forward to the Coast Guard service stories that will follow. I’ve told him in the past that he should write a book. He’s sent me a couple of “chapters” that he had written about his service. Maybe he’ll surprise me with a full transcript. If not, his company will more than suffice.

NICEEEEEEE 😉

Although these aren’t Morgan’s, Peace or WWII Commemorative coins so wouldn’t have expected a mad dash at Noon to acquire this medal.

That’s why there is such a variety. I just had to pare back on some of these.

I would have taken that root canal without novocaine for a couple coins I missed.

Did the same with the presidential dollars.

That is awesome. Great reason to grab this.

Same. Takes the fun out of the ordering process. Just kidding.

Good going REB. I’m sure your guy will greatly appreciate the medal and your thoughtfulness.

Got mine via enrollment Rooster. Nice looking medal design.
