I Build Legacy Collections

December 11, 2012Uncategorizedcoaching, ejgold, gaming, karma, level, life, magic, money, path, prosperity, reincarnation, remedy, shaman, workgorebagg

I’m not just another pretty face; I have knowledge in the field of antiquities, mainly because I was there and I can remember it. Most of the antiquity dealers were also there, but they seem to have gone blank on their not-so-distant past. Here is a collection I put together as an example of a General Collection with several cultural bases.

Left compartment: Head of Medusa in Faience; Head of monkey King from Ghandara, polychromed Terra-Cotta. 2nd compartment from left; Patinated Bronze miniature urn; giant natural crystal ruby gemstone from idol. 3rd compartment from left; Cuneiform spike from 1959 auction in NYC; XVIIIth Dynasty Faience Egyptian Gaming Piece, VERY rare. 4th compartment from left; Two extremely rare Griffin inlays, probably Hellenic Greek or Scythian. 5th & 6th compartments, on right; Group of Syro-Hittite Bronze riders & horses, probably votive figurines.

These ancient relics have been with me for well over half a century. If you want me to build a collection for you, either focused or general, ask me for help, and I will try to find them for you. This collection is emphatically not for sale at any price.

See You At The Top!!!

Maccabeean Relics

December 11, 2012Uncategorizedcoaching, ejgold, gaming, karma, life, love, magic, money, Music, path, prosperity, reincarnation, remedy, shaman, workgorebagg

Ah, I finally managed to get a few photos of my beautiful Judah Maccabee bronze coins mounted in archival protective acrylic capsules to make wonderful Pocket Charms. These are not your run-of-the-mill ancient Jewish coins. They are really, really fine coins, much better than are typically offered on eBay. I get $49 per coin, wrapped in a flip with an ID and COA on the front. You don’t get to select the coin, nor do I — it’s the next coin, period. If I were to cherry-pick this lot, some of the coins would end up in the $300 range, but NONE would be under $49!!! I don’t want money. In-game currency does me no good Out Here where I actually live. Like I said, I don’t want yer money. I want these relics in good hands — your hands. I only have 30 of these, which I removed from my own personal special velvet-mounted collection just for this occasion. I invite you to take advantage of this offer. Biblical Jewish coinage in this fine condition is getting harder and harder to find; they are expertly cleaned; you won’t find better Jewish coins anywhere on the planet.

Crucifixion Coins 4 Sale

December 11, 2012Uncategorizedcoaching, gaming, karma, level, life, love, magic, money, Music, path, prosperity, reincarnation, shaman, workgorebagg

How about this item for super-cool? It’s a Roman bronze coin called an “ae”, pronounced “aye” in the manner of all umlautish things, and this coin was around during the time of the Crucifixion, if not a bit earlier. I’ll actually be using Jewish coinage for this issue when I get hold of them — they’re reportedly on the way, just in time to make those Christmas & Chanuka stocking-stuffers, which is what these are, but wait! There’s more!

Holy Land Relic Pocket Charm

December 10, 2012Uncategorizedcoaching, ejgold, gaming, karma, life, love, magic, money, Music, path, prosperity, reincarnation, remedy, shaman, workgorebagg

Holy Land Relic Pocket Charms. More than that. Ancient Jewish, Roman, Greek, Egyptian and Medieval Holy Land Relic Pocket Charms, which means that the Air-Tight Archival Acrylic Pocket Charm sports a lump of silver, gold, bronze, stone or terra-cotta; some item of daily use, that was around during the time Jesus walked the Earth and the Maccabees ruled the Jewish World; and that means Christmas and Chanukah, in case you hadn’t made the marketing calculation. And what’s more, each and every 2,000 year old ancient Holy Land Relic Pocket Charm carries its own Certificate of Authenticity. As a matter of fact, the relic will date prior to Jesus’ birth, thus guaranteeing that at least theoretically, it is possible that relic was carried by Jesus or by one of his disciples, because it was in circulation during his lifetime.

Do The Math & Be Amazed!!!

December 9, 2012Uncategorizedcoaching, ejgold, gaming, karma, life, love, magic, Music, path, prosperity, reincarnation, shaman, workgorebagg

EJ Gold, Architectural Sculpture, aluminum on Wood Core, 2012

Do the math and be amazed!!! That’s my Battle-Cry. It’s what I say when I show a coin to someone, especially a noobie or novice. So they look at the coin. I tell them to look real closely, to notice that the coin is very bright and shiny, that it has no scratches or scuffs anywhere on it, not anywhere, front or back. I don’t make an issue of “obverse” and “reverse” with a novice. “It looks like new, doesn’t it?” I prompt. “But read the date!” When they do, they generally gasp, if they’re also show the more typical version of the same date penny. Okay, now the clincher: “Do the math and be amazed! For how many years has that coin been knocking around in circulation?” When they do the math, they will be amazed. And that’s the effect I’m after. I’ll be offering a number of freshly-discovered “Do The Math & Be Amazed” pennies at today’s ICW — most of them at only $1 — some of them have additional value, but since they’re self-found out of bank boxes, what the heck-darn, eh?

Jesus and the Maccabees

December 9, 2012Uncategorizedcoaching, ejgold, gaming, karma, life, love, magic, money, Music, path, prosperity, reincarnation, remedy, shaman, workgorebagg

EJ Gold with Architectural Sculpture, 11′ x 10′ x 3′, started 2007, completed 2012

I’ll explain why I’m concentrating on a nicer grade of Jewish coinage, from about 120-44 B.C., and why they fulfill both sides of the coin so to speak, of my Pocket Charms. First of all, the Pocket Charms come in an archival acrylic capsule, held in place by an equally archival foam ring. The thing is virtually indestructible, but it’s not a keyring, it’s a Pocket Charm, so handle with respect & care.

Catch O’ The Day

December 9, 2012Uncategorizedcoaching, ejgold, gaming, karma, life, love, magic, money, Music, path, prosperity, shaman, workgorebagg

EJ Gold Acrylic on Canvasboard, 8″x10″ Collection of the Artist.

“Catch O’ The Day”. That’s how I envision the wooden shingle hanging below the Big Sign on the tiny coin shack somewhere in the midst of a wondrously attractive tourist town like Martha’s Vineyard, Woodstock, Jamestown, Williamsburg, Gettysburg, Carmel, Laguna, New York City or even New Palz. Anywhere there’s history, you’ll find coinage, and where there are coins, there are coin hunters — some with metal detectors, others with trading items, some with ready cash in pocket or purse. I’ll get right to the point — I have several dozen “Catches O’ The Day” sitting on my workbench presently. I’ve identified them, rough-graded them, examined and louped them and made comments about them on the dated “Magic Find” flip. These will be offered up for sale this morning at the ICW starting precisely at 6:30 Pacific Time. Today we’ll be trying to figure out a fair and equitable way to share out these coins and get them on the market. Most of my finds will sell at $1 or slightly more.

See You At The Top!!!

Moses, Jesus, Maccabees & More

December 8, 2012Uncategorizedcoaching, ejgold, gaming, karma, life, love, magic, money, path, prosperity, shaman, workgorebagg

I had a visit this morning from Archangel Lefkowitz, my classmate from the Angelic Academy. He offered a suggestion that might help alleviate the high cost of charms using ancient coins. Pocket Charms, we call ’em in the trade; they can be carried in pocket, purse or pouch.

I Got Those Down-Home Mint-Error Ragtime Cowboy Blues

Legendary safecracker Jimmy Valentine is often quoted as responding to the question of why he only hit banks is “because that’s where the money is”. Actually, Jesse James, the very first open-air bank robber, said it first, and there’s good evidence that it was originally said by Asclepius in a drunken stupor. But all of them make my point accurately — go where the money is. I’ll explain:
