    The 2x2 holders in pages...

    (The wheat cents below are not actually that red, the scanner threw the color way off. The first pic shows what the wheats really look like)

    They aren't red at all, they're really a toned light brown. My scanner messed up the colors on those cents, except the Lincoln memorial one.
     
  5. haha well I was right to be in disbelief... oh well.

    also. love the mercs. In my opinion, they are one of the most beautiful coins, even when heavily circulated... that and the walker half.

    Nice collection! I used to collect quite a bit of Canadian coins as well but have kinda strayed away from it. Might have to get those coins back out someday

    Hey! Those are some nice coins you have there.

    I have one of those breast-cancer-awareness quarters. I really like it. What a neat idea.

    It's really hard to keep this thread up-to-date, I'm going to stop. I'll just post a few neat things every now and then.

    Some new stuff:

    The one on the far right is MS-65
    [​IMG]

    This ancient looks so much better in hand, the scanner messes with the details, colors, and depth.
