I
hope it is OK to post this as it is really just a frivolous funny thing that I have been laughing at for a few days now. I know we are supposed to be serious here. LOL. This coin is for sale in the
Forum store and I may or may not end up
buying it, but if you want it be warned I will probably pull the plug and buy it soon if no one else does first. I am attributing this coin as the first one depicting a television set, back in the day when we
had rabbit ear antennas. It is actually a pretty cool coin.
