Man Spencer, that gold coin conveys a lot of things to me about you. I’am not going to say what it in implies, since you maybe offend by what I say. Really I do not need another Seitz’s type incident, especially since you may spell my last name in the french way. Also because you may not understand my point either, which has always been a problem for me, since I debate people’s thinking, and not just their beliefs. But I have to say, that gold coin I think would please a certain presidential candidate in one way he would want us to know about. And another way that Raimondo what write a defensive article about, which would state him not being that way in actuallity. That however is not my guess on your intentions, since you may be unaware of them, but it would be a neat symbol to define a Texas congressman more ways than one. It may, however, imply a collective subconscious, if you understand what I mean. Carl Jung would have a field day with you Mr. Spencer. A field day, that would last till the end of time.

“Also because you may not understand my point either, which has always been a problem for me...”

Along with the coherent transfer of thoughts from your mind into written words.  Or, rather, the lack thereof.

That is a great comment, Inibo. The comment I might add is about how think the coin is a symbol of his support for bizzare conservative politics and hard money, but I’am not really sure. I, however, think could represent the good and the bad of Ron Paul presidency, or what people assume to bad about his campagin. That fact is likely one that I can not assume, since people are not as literal than we think they are. But I will not waste your time, since you have more pressing matters at hand. You likely spend your time playing online games, and other crap, that I assume a person with the online name Inibo does. I mean, William Barnard is my actaul name, and not some made up crap that I use to appear cool. I wonder what Inibo is post to mean, what thoughts that it is to convey, or lack of them for that matter.

I’am sorry that I got harsh with you at the end of my reply Inibo. I need to learn better internet behavior. That was just cruel at the end, and I’am sorry. And I will be more clear in the future. I just get into tagents sometimes, where can not help myself. I need to learn self control, and I’am sorry.

Richard,

It is a lovely coin!

I am spending mine on six pallets of anthracite coal (before the price goes up in July-August).

No, I haven’t been a “bad-girl.” That’s what it takes to heat my little house during a cold winter.

It will be worth every penny when the fellow from the “evil empire” (the gas company) can’t figure out why my meter reading has not increased very much.

Such are the simple joys of retirement.

Oom Paul! I’m surprised that hasn’t been replaced by now. In time, I imagine, assuming they can keep the lights on and the pumps running in the mines that long.

Smart move, Richard.
That’s money “in your pocket”
and NOT “in the bank.”
The next step would be to find
a way to smuggle it out of the U.S.
before the confiscation begins.

I tell everyone not to spend the “stimulus” money but save it instead.  Our economy needs savings and capital accumulation to get out of these bad times.  Gold is a good hedge against inflation.  As long as the Fed is around we can count on more inflation, but times like these are likely to see more than normal.
