    I have some pics of the exhibit, but you can't read anything. I showed my Jackson Civil War store cards, 21 of the 29 known varieties.

    Let's try the pics...This is my practice layout at home

    Thank you my friend. I've done two exhibits and won Best of Show both times. I think it's time to retire. :D

    Jerry a few years ago Bill brought his 2 cent collection to Baltimore Whitman show.
    Bill is who I would consider the go to guy on the 2 cent piece ,as well store cards,and coppers in general. His collection complete of all 2 cent pieces in both MS & Proof.
    IMHO should of taken 1st place as for his display as well the specimens in the display case.
    I am more than proud to call Bill a friend as well salute him for his work in Numismatics.

    Certainly is a tremendous amount of time and $$$ assembling a collection like that.

    From the reports I got up and down the Bay, you didn't miss a whole lot...most charters came back with 0, 1 or 2...with the dogwoods in nearly full bloom, me thinks the girls are up in the rivers spawning.

    It worked and I rotated the coin. The old holder sure looks much better, and I didn't want to get it reholdered.
    Thanks again

    Been in a dry spell till last Tuesday but finally broke out and scored some keepers with my metal detector. No key dates but the walker (1944) is in real good shape and the seated quarter (1875) is only the second I've ever found. Two Washington's, (1934 and 1941) were found in the same hole. image.jpeg
