    Unprecedented times. How many times have we heard that these last couple of weeks?

    I pulled this nickel out of my pocket change yesterday and immediately noticed the strip of scotch tape goo across the reverse. Told me someone had to disassemble a collection they probably spent many hours putting together. Seems the need for liquidity won out over their beloved collection. I felt sad for this person and their need to spend what they had once admired.

    @Randy Abercrombie, you may be correct. I feel even sadder when a family member or friend disassembles someone's collection, with or without their knowledge.

    BTW, Randy, what does "CTNOC Co-Founder mean? Just noticed it in your post.

    I need to get that off of there. I can’t remember how I put it there! It was a joke that me and @Clawcoins had going on a while back. We dubbed ourselves the Coin Talk Numismatic Oversight Commission..... It was a funny joke at the time by it’s ran its course.

    You see? They ARE out there watching you... put foil over your windows and your monitor. Also a DOUBLE thickness hat.

    oh yeah, quite some time ago.
    Since then it spawned the CCGS ... ClawCoins Grading Service. With the motto "if 'ya gotta ask, it's not"

    The first rule of the secret CT police is we don't talk about the secret CT police

    Optimistically, maybe he found a better piece and decided to let this one out into the wild for other collectors!

    I'll look at the cup half full as well! Someone was sitting at home after they finished a hard day of working at home remotely and they said self, lets upgrade some of our whitman books while I have a little bit of extra time on my hands!

    I'm just trying to remain positive through out all of this! I didn't have the virus but unfortunately got sick in the first days of all of this so I was put on lock down for the last two weeks. I work in the transportation industry and need to be back to work so we can keep the supply chain moving. If a leader is at home, it doesn't bode well for the people who you're putting on the front lines so I'm rip roaring and ready to head back!
    Keep washing those hands boy and girls!!!! :) We'll all get through this!
