    No matter my current health condition, I can't stop looking at and drooling over coins I want.
    You can take the collection away from me, but you can't take the need to collect out of the collector.
    This is one I wanted to add to my collection for some time. I probably over estimated the grade, but at least it fills that empty slot.
    Your thoughts appreciated:

    Nice to see you post, Albert.

    This is one of the early commemoratives that’s still on my want list. I haven’t had one “speak to me” yet.

    I like your example. It cleaned up nice.

    Nice one. I was at Antietam a number of years ago. The bloodiest day in American history.

    You're never too old to do what floats your boat. I'm 3 and still plan to buy when I'm 4. If you believe that, I've got some Beach Front property in Boise I will sell really cheap.

    Great to hear from you and glad to see you still are able to fill a "need". I'm right there with you. There are a few that I still have a "need" for. Thanks for sharing.

    It's a type I've never had.

    Just visited there too. Like Gettysburg, extremely somber place and hard to grasp the extent of death of thousands of young men on those battlefields.
