Most folks don’t have coins minted in their honor. I wanted to offer an opportunity to acquire coins of interest to spirit mediums and anyone using the Prosperity Path Oracles or Seances. These coins are associated magically with the individuals by a variety of connections and coupling factors, the most obvious of which is the date of the coin.
Humans of Planet Earth. People. You know I love ’em. The fact is that they’re not really very calm or gentle, but that’s not my point at all. My point is that you wouldn’t expect a wild animal such as a lion or a tiger — even one that has been tamed — to not react with instant savage unthinking aggression, from time to time. Moreover, you couldn’t be certain what might or might not trigger the big cat off. This is where I part company with the psychologists and other micro-managers of the human brain. I quote from the Trans-Universe Beddikker’s Guide, to wit:
We’ve got Physical Education. Phys Ed is everywhere. Brain education is in university. But where is our post-sandbox Emotional Education? You don’t have to believe me; it takes a moment’s glance to see that Emotional Education is sadly — and perhaps dangerously — lacking in our society. Is there a cure? Yes, there is. Watch the ICW this coming weekend.

Beetlejuice had it good, compared to most folks. You know what I mean; all of a sudden, without warning, your head is full of wild ass-tearing demons, screaming at the top of your lungs, wrecking house & home, making suicide seem like an option when it isn’t. Why do these horribles, kept submerged and supressed all these years, keep coming back to haunt you? Where do they come from? How did they get out? Why do they have so much destructive power over you? Why do they cause you to ruin your own life? How do they get re-triggered? How can you stop them from intruding on your life? Will they ever permanently go away? I’ll be answering these questions at the next ICW. If you have no such problem, don’t watch.

The things that constitute a “Perfect Coin” for the average coin collector are the exact opposites of what I’m looking for in an artist’s coin. Accident and oxides are my allies in my quest for Rainbows and Other Wonders. If the coins were mint condition, there’d be an almost total absence of oxidation and therefor of serendipitous graphic effects. If the coins were almost pure gold — well, pure gold doesn’t oxidize. Silver does, but it turns straight black. Copper and Zinc do wonderful iridescent things under the influence of oxygen, so for me, the ideal hunting ground is always the Lincoln Memorial in-circulation coins.
I have been known to hunt in bags of wheaties as well, and I’ll tell you all about that in my next blog …

So, where’s the profit in Lincoln Memorial cent collections? I thought you’d never ask. (Smiles Knowingly) Why, in the following goodies extracted (cherry-picked) from the mass of coins called a “bank box”. Here’s the list of high-ticket items you can expect to pull quite regularly from a bank box draw:
1960 small date…but wait; we did all this before, didn’t we??? Well, I’ll give you the Million Dollar Hint: the big money is all in the rainbows. My extreme rainbows can sell for upwards of $350. Ordinary ones can sell at around $10. Most of mine fall somewhere around the $80 level, at around four spectacular finds, and dozens of lesser stunningness rainbow coins throughout the search session. On my way to breakfast…

Don’t Make Me Think!!! The battle-cry of the Great Unwashed. They’ll pay absolutely any price to avoid making decisions, finding out about things, going places off their cattle-path life-tracks and in general, doing anything with that brain Great Nature gave them as a sort of practical joke on a gigantic scale. What you’re doing with coin collections is merely sorting the coins, grading the coins and organizing the coins, all at once, meanwhile cherry-picking the hot high-end items out of the general bash. Give the GP (general public) a bag with only the needed coins in it, and they’ll still have the bag, untouched, in a closet somewhere, at the end of their lives. Why? Because it’s not what they do. They don’t HAVE to learn coin stuff in order to collect it. All they have to do is look for the word “Collectible” or, if they happen to live in England or on eBay, it’s “Collectable”. Where’s the payoff for the in-circulation coin dealer? Why, in the marketing, dummy. Where else? Certainly not in the coin!

It can’t be about the money. This is real important. When you create a Lincoln Memorial Complete Collection, you have dipped into the world of in-circulation coins, and thus experienced the closest to “unsearched” coins you’ll ever find. If, along with that incredible and revitalizing experience, you include the 7 Attentions Exercise and Time Footprint Technology, you will have a mind-blowing timeless time, and if you do it every day, you’ll discover that it emphatically is NOT about the money. But a few extra bucks to cover expenses wouldn’t hurt…??? Want much more serious money? It’ll cost more to make more…but you knew that. For bigger bucks, sell Liberty Busts (Braided & Coronet) this week, at the XF-40 level. Want to search coins for free, stick with Lincoln Mems.

OCD Heaven, that’s what it is. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder strikes dozens of people a day, and they’re all living inside you. 7 Attentions Coin Sorting, that’s what you want to get hold of and apply to your OCD habits, and it starts with Rule #1 for Lincoln Memorials:
There is no reason to collect any less-than-perfect Lincoln Memorial coin.
Now, granted, that doesn’t include the special cases and all them there fancy mint errors, but it does clear up a lot of unwanted informational clutter and get us down to brass tacks, where the money is. Unless there’s a compelling reason to do so — such as a wild rainbow coloration, or an unusual mint-mark, rpm or other similar manifestation of The Goddess Numisma, just don’t take a bad coin — meaning a coin that is less than your target grade for LincMems, which is???? That’s right! If you’ve been paying attention, you’ll know that the correct answer is: GEM BU = Gem Bright Uncirculated.
Of course, “uncirculated” doesn’t mean what you think it does. Stay on the Bright Side.

7 Attentions Coin Search will work to reduce fear, anger and anxiety, simply because you cannot possibly remain in fear, anger and/or anxiety when you engage in this activity; if done correctly, the negative emotions will vanish. It works because when you handle the coins, they automatically quantum-connect you up with their time-line and emotional phrase — a packet of emotion carried strictly on the sub-awareness quantum level. 7-Attention Coin Search uses these emotional time-triggers to widen and expand your “AQ”, Attention-Quotient. This expanded time view gives the Bigger Picture, and makes local time/space events look a lot smaller than they look from inside.
