The Coin Stacking Picture of the Week

That's right, I made it on to the front page of www.coinstacking.com with the picture of the week! Who would have known I had a hidden talent of stacking coins.

The pennies used for my coin stacking creation were just a pinch of what's in the bag. I could have made it a whole lot bigger with the 30 pounds of pennies. I'll just have to give you the opportunity to out do me once we complete the trade. Maybe you too will make it on the front page of www.coinstacking.com with the picture of the week, you never know, you may have a hidden talent as well.

Head on over to www.coinstacking.com and check out all the great coin stacking creations others have done, some are amazing.

Are you interested in owning this big bag of fun, I mean 30 pound bag of pennies & silver ingot? Contact me with an offer.

-Frank Rodriguez

The trade has been completed. My wife and I drove down to Southern California’s wine country, Temecula, and meet up with Frank at one of the offices he works at. He greeted us with a huge smile and introduced us to all his co-workers, everyone was very nice.

Frank had waiting a huge bag filled with 30 pounds of wheat pennies on his desk along with a 10 oz Silver Ingot. This is my first time ever owning a bar of silver, very cool. Too bad it wasn’t a gold bar though, maybe my next trade. Anyway, we took some pictures, completed the trade with the official unofficial certificate of authenticity filled out and signed and then we were on our way to do some wine tasting.

We only had time to go to a few wineries but we saved the best for last, Wilson Creek. If you’re ever in the area, this is one of the best in Temecula, CA. There’s always a crowd so be sure to get there early or come on a week day. All their wines are nice but they have a special Almond Champagne. After you have completed the wine tasting you want to top it off with their chocolate port served in an edible chocolate shot glass. Mmmm… You drink it down about half way and then they fill it back up with Almond Champagne to make what they call an Almond joy! Very joyful I must say.

So since the trade has now been officially completed, I can now offer you 30 pounds of wheat pennies and a 10 oz Silver ingot. Let the offers begin.

FYI: The penny is worth more then a penny? found on reddit.

Offer accepted for the Box of Skeleton Keys

Yes, that's right, I have accepted an offer! I received a lot of great offers for the Box of Skeleton Keys and it was very hard to decide on one to accept, but before I elaborate, I just want to say thanks to everyone that wanted to be part of my journey and sent me an offer. Even though I didn't accept your offer this time around I hope that all of you will still follow my progress and send in offers for another item you might like down the road.

A few weeks ago I received a call from Frank and he offered me 30 pounds of wheat pennies for the Box of Skeleton Keys. I was like "WOW" that sounds like a lot of money but I didn't want money, I wanted an item that could be traded. And these can be traded, they're wheat pennies, great for coin collectors, especially for someone that is just starting out, so I kept him in mind. There were a few other offers I was looking to pursue but they fizzled out. So a few days ago I called Frank up again and he wanted to sweeten the offer a little more and said he would also throw in a 10 oz Silver ingot. That sold me. This trade will attract all kinds of collectors from precious metals to coin collectors.

Stay tuned for more details on the trade...
