Practical Issues… Number 1 FAQ question is, “I feel funny making extra income from my meditation practice. How can I justify it?”
Coin Hunt — Thrill of the Chase
Quantum Entanglement Workshop & Clinic, December 2012, Learning to Sort.
Coin Safari is here. You can download it now on urthgame.com. Lemme clue ya: Coin Hunting is a legitimate thrill chase. It meets or beats your expectations for chills and thrills, because there’s a possible “win” at every turn of the coin. I mean this for both the Orb and also your daily practice, Zen Coin Sort and Zen Coin Search. Let’s take a good look at both subjects — for, indeed, they are two separate subjects, “sort” and “search”!!!
How Challenge Coins Work
I have in hand a number of “Challenge Coins” which I’ve been calling “Mystery Coins”, by which I mean coins which I’ve flipped, meaning spent more money on than the penny originally called for. But why did I flip that particular coin? It’s a Mystery. YOU have to guess/decide/see what it was about this coin that prompted me to spend good hard cash on it over and above its 1 cent face value. Why plunk down more money on a worthless coin??? Obviously, because to me, it’s worth more than a penny. But why? And how much more?
This Coin Sells For $1,000 or More!!!
Here’s another interesting search for you — the 1995 D DDO, a rare bird indeed — much rarer and more costly than its Philadelphia Cousin — but, as you see here, findable with some diligence, luck and a good deal of luck — did I mention the luck part? You’ll note that I don’t offer a reference coin in this case — it would be out of all of our leagues, I’m afraid, at around $1,000 for a semi-decent example. But I can offer photographic Bloodhound Samples and unsearched 50-Source rolls to test your skills: here are a few more parts of this elusive error coin. The 1995-D Kit is only $35, and provides 50 chances to be right! NO guarantees, just an amazing amount of fun! Wait til you see how long it takes to accumulate 50 totally differently sourced examples of this coin!!! You’ll want to order more!
Treasure Hunters International
I have in hand 48 of these little beauties, not yet reported, not sure whether it’s worth reporting, but here they are; the VDB has been doubled. It’s not a camera trick, it’s really there, and YOU can find it. At the moment, nobody’s looking for these and quite frankly, it’s doubtful if anyone ever will, or that there will develop a market for this “error” which might be just a strike slip, no big deal. On the other hand, it will train your eye to See The Coin, and that’s what we’re after, so I’m offering the REAL DEAL — One Uncirculated Bright RED MS 64+ doubled VDB plus a roll of absolutely guaranteed “50 Sources” 2011 P pennies for your 10X loupe perusal.
Fred’s Farm Rules the Roost
As I’m painting the flips this morning, I came to realize that this seemingly simple act actually transforms the fate of both the penny and the flip in which it’s contained. The ordinary kismet of the flip would be to be discarded at the next trade. As a WOA — Work of Art — it is almost guaranteed to be treated quite differently, although works of art have been known to end up in the Sally Ann Thrift Stores now and then. You’ll find some of my coin flip art on eBay these days.
Dragon Yer Ass

Well, I finally took a little time to finish this 2011 offering which up ’til now has been available only as a beta download. It’s nothing special, except for speed-decisions, directional timing, instant navigation and evaluation of threat, clearing obstruction to forward motion, and other equally vital issues in the Between-Lives State. Dragon hunting? Think of it as a training regimen, not a way of life. Just ease up the tension in the sphincter just a little, and enjoy this medieval romp through a fantasy land that really exists Out There…Somewhere — perhaps in your near future??? (In a thick, Eastern European sort of “Cloris Leachman Voice of Doom” tone) Over ze rainbow, per-haps? The Dragon 3D game is not a prosperity path orb. It is six hard-ass levels of the fastest kick-butt Dragon Slaying you’ll ever get hold of, and it will be available on goddgames.com in about a week, if all goes well.
My Bogus Coin Adventure
I want to share this with all my students — posting it just before class: Just about a week ago, I stumbled onto a 2000 Wide AM Lincoln Memorial Cent, and correspondingly sent it off to be inspected by John Wexler, who is the Sherlock Holmes of Mystery Coins. In a minute, you’ll understand why I tell everyone I know who’s involved with coin search to visit and study his site! Here’s the letter I sent, attached to the sample:
Thrill of the Chase
Got hold of a new error — it’s the double “VDB” — the initials of Victor David Brenner, the sculptor who was the first to put a human face on a US cent. The initials are double-struck, sometimes triple-struck. I have a triple in hand atm, but it hasn’t been microphotographed yet, so I’m putting a couple of photos of the 1969-S double VDB up for you to see. You have to know where they occur and all that. I have that knowledge, plus the knowledge of how this minor industrial accident might have occurred, where it happened, and where you’re most likely to find this powerful and rare Strike Error! Tune in to the ICW this morning for more info.
We Buy Gold
New release in the works, We Buy Gold — an incredible romp through wealth, fame and glory, plus a great finish with Mr. Buddha. You’ll enjoy it. You can market We Buy Gold on the CD, plus imagine the result of putting up the sale poster for this game in your shop window or putting it up for sale online — it is a videogame, so should properly be listed under “videogames”. It will be available as a download as well as on disk.
See You At The Top!!!
