what is your lifeline

while taking a psychiatry class at the local correctional facility where i worked we were required to interview inmates and try to determine just where there conflicts arose. from there the professor drew a long line on the board and the class would try to determine at just what age the person's life needed to be delved further so we could help resolve those conflicts.
if this sounds technical i apologize but it was from these interviews i was able to invent the reminicents coin bracelet when i retired by using this information and combining it with the love of coins which i discussed in earlier blogs.
every one and every thing has a lifeline and i strongly suggest you know yours whether you purchase one of my bracelets or not. once a person comes to know their salient events they can come to grips with the good and bad times in their life .i personally feel it helps them grow into a better person.
good luck and let me know if this information was helpful.

a novel idea for history teachers

imagine the thrill of your students when you walk in your room with a paper bag full of wheat pennies and have each student select a coin and have them write a report on that year. the coin will automaticaly bring them to a focus of that year and will make history come alive.
if you are a history teacher please e mail me and perhaps i can send you some free coins.
naturally, i would want a report on how it went and perhaps even post some of your comments.
what an easy way to have fun in your classroom. i only wish one of my teachers tried this.

the American Girl Doll is a study in coins

yesterday i met a young girl who was fascinated with coins because they matched the years of her American Girl Dolls. it seems they come from dated periods and 1943 and 1914 "pennies"
matched the years of her dolls.
it was wonderful to see how once again a child instantly saw the magic of coins come alive by
transforming them to a time they would like to visit and wondered how they could get there.
if the readers of this blog are wondering how to trasform themselves to another time period they have come to the right site. the reminicents coin and jewelry company would love to help you connect and we are only a click away.
see you later time travelers.

a company with vision is requested

reminicents is looking for a company which can initiate a national or regional advertising campaign using coins as a marketing venue. this campaign would further the American awareness of numismatics as well as bring your company to an advertising level which has never been employed before.

if your company is interested in hearing how this can be employed or have some ideas on how to promote this concept we want to hear from you. please remember with the introduction of the 1999 state quarter program there are over one hundred million coin collectors and this number is growing every day.

now is the time to strike while the iron is hot and vast amounts of coins can still be obtained at reasonable prices.

please contact www.reminicents if you are interested. this could be the best marketing tool to come along in a long time and thousands upon of new customers could be at hand.

a new coin is soon to be issued

on February 11, the new one cent coin will be issued. for readers of this blog you already know it will have a shield with the phrase.'E PLURIBUS UNUM' on the reverse side.
this coin will be around fifty years if they don't discontinue it and is sure to bring in new collectors and have people talking about numismatics.
keep in touch for more information as it becomes available.

hark a new Lincoln is coming

many coin collectors have shunned the new presidential coin series because they feel the coins look like casino tokens. although,i am inlined to agree ,i must admit i have purchased many rolls
of them in the hopes that one day they will catch on and i could be in the forefront of a new wave of dealers.
well, this year i may be on to something because the series is about to issue a Lincoln one dollar
coin at the end of the year and it is my guess the coins could surge in collecting circles.
i advise my readers to obtain at least one roll of each president at today's prices and see if your small investment pays off .the coins could always be sold at face . you maybe very glad you took my advice down the road when a demand builds for the first issues and you will then easily be able to turn them into books for family members or your customers.
at this point try obtaining them at banks first to see if they have any in their vaults.if not you can always try coin shows or coin stores and pay a small surcharge.

hope for the next generation

while at the local flea market i was standing next to a young man who started talking to me. he stated ,"i wonder where these coins could have been? if only they could talk."

needless to say i found my clone.

ah,the wonder the coins can give off and it doesn't cost anything to imagine.

hope your year is going well.

where were you ten years ago?

as we now head into a new decade it's quite interesting to think back to the beginning of the new millenium and to see what's transpired in our lives. ten years ago i was a caseworker for the local corrections department and had no idea that ten years later i would introduce myself to people as a numismatist. ten years ago our lives evolved around one of the world's craziest boxer puppies and this year we had to put him to sleep. ten years ago we thought we would be millionaires with the market soaring as it did in the nineties and we were put into our place during the last few years.

i nor my wife are complaining of how things turned out because we are still functioning well ten years later and hope the next decade will have some great experiences to offer.

for all of you reading this just remember that ten years ago all the computers were about to go belly up and they to are still around. HAVE A GREAT DECADE FROM WWW.REMINICENTS .
