I don't really have very much, a few morgans, barber quarters and indian heads, though I do have quite a few wheats. I also have a trade dollar, liberty seated dime, 2 cent pennys and 3 cent nickels.   07-04-2009, 01:51 PM   #2 (permalink) cwart Senior Member     Join Date: Apr 2009 Location: Louisville, KY Posts: 140 My Mood: Welcome to CT....

There's a lot we don't know firsthand about how coins are/were made and it is not so much the coins and the dies, punches and other tools that are challenging. __________________ Mike M Michael E.
