Hello, Guys. Christian, I appreciate the Chopin research. The entire set comes in a neat piano shaped box (I only included the "BU" coins in the Butt Ugly photo" but I do not recall an explanation of the "half and half" piece). You got me curious now. Guess I should hunt for the case...in storage somewhere, and see if I missed a booklet.

ancientnoob, glad you like the Guitar Coins. I have seen full sets (not in the plastic blobs) available for maybe $50 U.S. or so...but haven't looked lately. I won my set, already in the blobs on E-Bay for $30. Why so cheap? Nobody wants them is my guess. Apparently there is a bit of controversy about the owner of the "pink guitar" as I believe he is in jail in london for molestation of children. Very sad if true. :P

Prosit, I am am including photos of all 6 guitar coins here...though again, if they need shrinking, apologies in advance to the shrinking expert. Can't quite figure out yet how to do that.
Happy birthday, U.S.A..   Alan...Massachusetts

Prosit

He was convicted in the UK for possession of child *orno*raphy...(is that a forbidden word due to the censors?)
He was convicted in Vietnam of committing obscene acts with minors.  That virtually ended a very successful career
as well it should have.

Strange shape but once electricity was added to guitars, shape was no longer a part of function and could be anything.

Hello, Prosit and ancientnoob. Here is a "Guitar Coin" I am looking for on the "if I run into one for a good price" basis. Sorry that I haven't figured out how to add just the photo to this post.

I would check out Mardi Gras Tokens from the 1970, They often feature musical and jazz themes. Just a thought.

I told Alan that for one of his shiny-shinies he can have 200 real tokens relating to music. He keeps preferring his asparagus coins. The man has got more money than is good for him. :)

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.

Hey, Figleaf...it's "Quality...not quantity" (though some of these coins don't exactly fall inder the "quality" description...but they are fun anyway.)

I ordered the Reinhardt coin today. I don't think this one will go into the "BU" collection..but I am still not sure I am crazy about colorized coins. ...or the ones that have pearls in them, or the ones that have gem stones in them (though I have 2 with musical themes) or the one I saw online today shaped like a teddy bear. I like my "shiny shinies"...but even I have standards! (if you can believe that).

I found a coin today from Great Britain commemorating the Music Jubilee (or some such topic). Problem is that the design has nothing to do with music. Maybe I have to start a new category I guess..." music coins that have not a damn thing to do with the design". ][/font  :o

As far as asparagus, I HATE Asparagus...almost as much as Brussel Sprouts!



Oh, for those of you on "the other side of the pond", is it true that Big Ben isn't officially Big Ben anymore?
