They got sent out for my father-in-law's birthday. Only the Buffalo is just very slightly toned. Surprisingly, the Washington quarter was the hardest to obtain in something that didn't have a matte type luster. __________________ I have a new guitar, now what?   07-03-2009, 11:38 PM   #2 (permalink) xtrmbrdr Senior Member     Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: Monument, CO Posts: 431 My Mood: Plus the birth state quarter in proof and the box __________________ I have a new guitar, now what?   07-03-2009, 11:54 PM   #3 (permalink) Half Dollar* Numismaniac     Join Date: Sep 2008 Location: Indiana Posts: 169 My Mood: Those are some nice looking coins!

A good rule of thumb for your own collection/buying fortunately realised by this SUPER awesome act of giving! __________________   07-04-2009, 11:28 AM   #12 (permalink) tmoneyeagles Indian Buffalo Gatherer     Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: San Antonio Posts: 6,314 My Mood: I hope your father in law appreciates it. I know most people wouldn't, and those people are people who don't know much about coins, or just don't care. If I gave a coin related gift to my mom, I don't think she would like it very much, and make that really any member of my family, except for my grandparents, I guess it would kind of be weird though, getting a gift of something you are not a part of, like coin collecting. But all the best to you, and I hope he loves it. __________________ From The Desk Of, -T$ (Kokapowan Tribe Leader) http://www.tmoneyeagles.webs.com/   07-04-2009, 01:41 PM   #13 (permalink) mark_h Numismatist     Join Date: Jul 2005 Posts: 6,186 Very nice gift.
