You can’t fight City Hall. That’s the battlecry of the Great Unwashed; Urban Legend has it that the 800 pound gorilla always wins. Don’t believe it for a minute. That’s the point of the David & Goliath story in the Bible. Sometimes the Little Guy has a chance. In the case of coin collecting, the chance for the little guy is so close to zero as to be almost unnoticeable. My method of collecting goes against the very fibre of Popular Wisdom — an oxymoron if ever there was one.
Coins as Art Objects
EJ Gold with Psychic Home Protection Array Matrix
As you probably already know, I collect and create Lincoln Cent Complete Sets with All Keys, but what do I do with the coins that don’t fit the category of “coin of worth”??? You probably also already know that it’s illegal to alter or mutilate U.S. currency to improve its value. However, if something dreadful happened to the coin on the way to you from the mint, it’s all right to market the coin if you don’t additionally alter it — you wouldn’t want to, anyway, too cost-ineffecient. The real secret to making money from money is to ignore the fact that it’s either money or has perceived value.
So Where’s The Profit in Lincoln Memorials???
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…

It Can’t Be About The Money
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
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.

Immaculate Coinception
It is said that Necessity is the Mother of Invention. That would make Invention the Child or Stepchild of Necessity. In the case of insomnia — the inability to just lie down and get to sleep — the necessity is rather severe. The first thing you must do is forgive yourself for not being able to sleep. After that, the rest is easy. I have a plan which I call Mindful Tedium…
“You Suck at Life, and You’re Stupid, Too!!!”
“You suck at life, and you’re stupid, too…” If you’re in a spiritual community, you wouldn’t expect to hear such ball-shredding criticisms from other students, unless it happens in a darshan hall or some other public or semi-public place to air interpersonal grievances. In private, such comments only serve to widen the gap and make team efforts impossible. Negative, so-called “constructive comments”, when executed between two people in a lonely hallway, classify as “ball-shredders” and should be passed only in a group situation. The kind of people who shred balls to make themselves righteous and cool tend to have enormous problems of their own, and like to find wrongness around them to excuse their own overburden of mental/emotional shit. I tried to find another word to fit there, but nothing came to mind. Anyhow, they’ll probably come up with something like “…But that’s not precisely exactly what I said…there’s a semicolon missing!!!” Tell them if they have anything to say, save it for a group meeting, where there are plenty of witnesses and help to resolve differences or find some way to blend the two opposing forces into a common ground — at least a truce???

Delete — Are You Sure??? Y/N
Did something really, really bad happen to you? something so despicable, so raw, so rotten, so foul that you’d do anything to go back in time and re-arrange your life so it didn’t happen. That isn’t possible, but there is an alternative that could lead to less pain on the subject. Deletion. What it means is that the event in question never happened, at least in this particular Life Stream. It puts distance between you and it, distance your deep psyche might appreciate. You will be asked if you really want to delete the event. When you indicate “yes” to the prompt, the movement will be toward a reality in which the event did not occur. WARNING: sometimes other, perhaps quite different, effects occur as a result of the event never having happened. Do be careful with this application of the Quantum Effect, but some events all of us really would have been better off without.
