Adopt-A-Dime Silver Coin Rescue Mission

This is an appeal from Adopt-A-Dime, my silver coin rescue mission. See, what’s happening is that a lot of beautiful silver dimes are being melted down because the silver value is so doggone high and it seems like it’s on an uphill run forever. There’s talk of it zooming past gold, but that’s ridiculous, unless we go back on the silver standard instead of the gold standard. I was never good at history, as they told me back in the 37th century. Anyhow, what you can do about this is to adopt a silver coin that might not be “perfect” by today’s standards, but will someday provide an important clue to our culture, what there is of it. Silver Dime Rescue Packs are available from $10 up, in increments of $10. A $100 pack gets you 10 high psychic, but otherwise quite ordinary silver Mercury dimes in danger of meltdown. I have varying grades available, from ordinary coins all the way up to AU57,  not quite good enough to survive without your help. At the same time you’re saving them from meltdown, you’re also saving silver!!!

Party On, Dudes!!!

I know that many folks who have just learned about coinology are sort of trying to wade through the maze of instruction that goes along with coin search as a Zen Practice. Problem is, there’s a lot to know, a lot to master and a lot of intricate steps with the attention, will and presence that can only be taught one at a time, mastered slowly and with integrity to purpose, and finally, to master the actual Practice of Coinology, a level of multiple attention that goes beyond the pale of ordinary thought. In addition, there’s the Magic of Magic Find; this is a constructed personal space which transcends Dimension. In order to delve into the Mysteries of Numisma, we must journey far, in a strange land.

Wake Up With a Pocketful of Strange

When I return from my nightly Shamanic Sky-Walking Journey — translate that to coin search, if you prefer the grittier phraseology — I generally have a Pocketful O’ Strange. What that means is, I have some, usually only a dozen or so, very bizarre examples of the coin-maker’s art. In general, these coins have been assaulted in some way after having left the relative safety of a million-pound per square inch device that spews pennies out at a rate of 5 per second, but assaulted in such a way as to leave them breathlessly beautiful and strange…meaning seriously weird. You might not be able to see the weirdness in the photos, but they are there to be seen with, you should pardon the expression, The Naked Eye. You’ll find these results of my Shamanic Journey each night on my eBay store. They range in price based on hard-science, strict coinology standards, and whimsy. One thing is guaranteed: every single one of my “Strange” coins will make you stop & wonder.

OF GREAT HISTORICAL IMPORTANCE

Alexander III of Macedon, son of Philip II, student of the Greek philosopher Aristotle; in 336 B.C. his father was assassinated, and Alexander took the throne, shortly after which, he conquered the entire known world, then promptly died at Babylon while preparing to take all Arabia, apparently of calicheamicin poisoning after a night-long binge of drinking, at the tender age of 32.

Magic Find is Magic Find is Magic Find

What’s in a name? More than just a rose, you can be sure, when it’s a Magic Find Drop somewhere in Hell. The thing is, when an item drops in Hell, and you ID it with the ALT, you IMMEDIATELY know what its value is, either in usage or for trade or sale. So why don’t you see coins in the same way? Coinology teaches you to see the drops as they fall.

What Happened to the Instructions???

When you travel through WarfTown now, you might or might not see screen-prompts telling you where to go and what to do next. The primary reason for this is that the Adventure Class Orbs are now fully outfitted for qualified Certified Coaches, and they’ll be using a reference chart. The chart itself is no secret. The coaches have LIVE ACTION admin control over what happens in the Orb when coaching.

Beam Me Up!!!

Want to live in a higher plane? Here’s a chance to get high and stay high. Instead of wishing for it in a futile manner, how about actually taking an action step to make it happen? Use my Orb “Beam Me Up!!!” to get yourself transported to a higher dimension. Sure, they all look exactly alike, but they aren’t. See for yourself how much better it is At The Top!!! Of course, you slide downscale after the Beam Initialization, but you can always beam up again!

Gastown in East Side BardoTown, looking South toward the Overpass.

I took this snapper of the partially completed BardoTown, which is getting a total overhaul to accommodate the particle stuff in the new GODD engine. I’ll be working on BardoTown for a few weeks, hoping to get it ready for a holiday download day. I’m guessing December 1 for a release date. You can snap your own screenshots with F4 and use the shots as screen-savers. That’s how I’m using the above screenshot on my game-writing computer — this month. Yep, every month or so I change the screenshot according to Objective Whim.
