Hey there, Stanley here, and I’m excited to tell you all about my recent trip to Norway in 1952. Let’s just say, it was an adventure. Having a time machine is great for this hobby.
As soon as I arrived, I was struck by the chilly weather, even in the middle of summer. I was in a rural area, and the landscape was a beautiful mix of green fields and steep mountains, with occasional clusters of wooden houses dotting the countryside. I couldn’t help but feel a little disoriented – this was not the Norway that I had expected.
Of course, as someone who’s traveled back in time quite a bit, I knew that things are rarely what they seem. This was post-World War II Norway, and the country was still recovering from the Nazi occupation. I had to be careful, as the war had left some scars on the country, and there were still dangers to watch out for.

But my main objective was to get my hands on some coins. So, I started playing my guitar on the street, hoping to attract some locals. I chose to play “One Sweet Day” by Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men, a song that I knew would be a hit in 1996.
To my delight, my plan worked. A kind-hearted local took pity on my wretched rendition and handed me some coins, including some good ones that I knew I could sell for a pretty penny on eBay. I couldn’t believe my luck. I spent the rest of the day going around town and collecting more coins from generous people who were interested in my music.

In the end, I decided to keep some of the coins for my personal collection, give some to a friend who was also a coin collector, and sell the rest on eBay. I knew that these coins had value and could bring happiness to others, just as they had brought joy to me.
Looking back on my trip, I’m grateful for the opportunity to have visited Norway in such an important moment in its history. I learned so much about the country and its people, and I’m excited to share my newfound knowledge with my fellow coin collectors.
So, if you’re ever in Norway and looking to expand your collection, keep an eye out for those rural areas – you never know what treasures you might find.
