I was devastated by JFK’s assassination and bought them purely for sentimental value. I also have a Nixon/Agnew inauguration medallion but that was bought sarcastically. It is probably worthless now.
A Google search suggests anywhere from $10 - $75, depending on condition.
It’s in mint condition as it has never been out of its case!
I’ve got a few, plus some 90% silver dimes and quarters, and maybe 20 real silver US dollar coins. And one gold Canadian maple leaf coin from Costco!
I was a coin collector in the 1950s and 1960s of both US and Canadian coins: had complete collections back to 1920 plus a bunch of 19th century Upper Canada coins.
Some years after I stopped collecting I revisited my collections and, to my horror, all my dimes were missing. My youngest brother had used them to pay for his coke addiction as a dime would buy a small bottle of Coca Cola in those days. The penny collections were intact though.

So my grandfather was REALLY into coins, he had a large safe full of them. My dad had a small collection, nothing of real value.
Funny you mention your brother raiding your collection. I met the owner of a liquor store in the gym, I started buying beer from him. He has a shoebox behind the counter, he would occasionally snag some real silver. He wasn’t into coins so I’d buy them, he gave me good prices, but I paid a little more than a coin shop would pay him. We assumed that some/most of these coins were taken from a friend or relative.

Meh. While it is true that the NFL is pretty much a political organization now, comments like these are stupid. (Also, are we supposed to know who this EricLDaugh is?)

“We prefer our black men to have helmets on, to dehumanize them.”
Also, what “regime” is he speaking of? He does know what a regime is, and who appears to have absolute power, and who with a simple phone call could put him in the worst prisons.
Someone might have dropped it off as a prank, because they knew the joke would not catch.
Should also have a page number from Trump’s Bible, so the R can be N’d.
Has anyone asked Trump lately what his favourite biblical verse is now that he represents himself as a devout Christian? Or will he just continue to say “all of them” since he hasn’t read any of them?

He’s had two answers - this is real. Possible there’ve been others I’m not aware of.
- Blank stare, can’t name a verse (most common)
- “An eye for an eye”

“There’s so many of them, it’s really hard to choose just one, I don’t want to - you know, the radical leftists Democrats, they hate me, they hate Christianity, they’d love nothing more than to take away your Bibles, especially in the truck stops. It used to be, you couldn’t go to a truck stop and find a Bible or anything religious, the wacko Democrats banned all of that, made it illegal, it would be an automatic 10 years in prison if you even went into a truck stop with a Bible. I did away with that, I brought it all back, I said ‘we have to let Bibles back into truck stops’ and truckers - they love me, you know, I won them by 67 points in the last election - they said ‘thank you, we were afraid to go into truck stops with our Bibles, we’d get searched if we had one and we tried to go in and poof - we got kicked out, had to drive away and couldn’t even get gas and then we got stranded on the side of our road without gas and the loads we were hauling would go bad and we’d have to dump it right there and drive away.’ It was terrible what the Democrats were doing, you’d drive down every highway in America and truckers are dumping their loads along the side of the road because they couldn’t have a Bible in a truck stop and it was dangerous for everyone to drive, there’s accidents all over and people dying everywhere, and now it’s perfectly safe. No one dies on the roads now, because no one has to worry about hitting loads on the road and truckers are allowed to buy gas again. They made that illegal too, truckers would pull in and say ‘I need to get gas’ and the truck stops would say ‘sorry, we’re closed because the Democrats said if we give you gas they’ll shut us down’ and guys would have to drive off without gas, they couldn’t get gas anywhere. Now, they can get gas wherever they want. Gas is so plentiful, truckers are saying to me ‘Donald’ - they call me that, because they know I know them very well - ‘Donald, there’s too much gas out here, you gotta do something about it’ and I tell 'em ‘no, fellas, it’s OK - feel free to get gas wherever you want. Use your Bibles and get your gas’ and they say 'sir, this is incredible, no one has ever let us do this kind of stuff,” tears in their eyes - big, strong men, stronger than … you know, you can’t imagine how strong they are. We’re gonna bring back truck stops, there’s a shortage of them, the Democrats banned all of them, closed them all down, but we’re gonna reopen them all."

Hmm, no one crying at him. Probably ChatGPT.
I can’t tell whether or not that’s an actual quote.

I couldn’t either, but couldn’t find confirmation via Google that he said it

If you made that up Ted, you are very very good at capturing Trump’s ramblings. Great job! You might be able to get a job here on the comedy circuit.
