I was walking down the road this morning and happened to notice the rays of the sun reflecting off of an object partially buried in the roadside gravel. Upon closer inspection I realized it was a gold coin. At least I think it is.

It appears to be English, or possibly Canadian. There is a picture of a lady on the front and some kind of funky-looking weed on the back. Below the lady's chin, the number "2002" is written. I'm not quite sure what that means. I'm not a coin expert, but I intend to look it up.

On the back, above the weed, the words "Two Pence" are written. Two million?

I just know this coin has some extreme value. I haven't decided if I should try to contact Sotheby's and have it auctioned or just go down to Fred's Coin Shop, right here in town, and have him try to sell it.

I question Fred's character though and therefore will probably go the Sotheby route.

If this thing turns out the way I expect it to, look for old Gus to pull into Chicago next May driving a brand new truck. I will keep you posted.

Tempting.

A rare gold coin for a chicken dinner.

Let me dwell on this most tantalizing proposal.

I don't know what the hell a candied yam is, but it sounds disgusting.

I'll cook a nice turkey dinner, with mashed potatoes and corn. And for dessert, you and I can walk hand in hand along the bank of the swamp that I live by. Just you and I Gus. And your rare coin.

And Gus, maybe you can trade your weed coin for some weed. You need to cut back on the opium.
