    I couldn't agree more, my biological father bought me my first Mint set (obviously my birth year, lol it's the only thing he bought me)

    Agree one hundred percent! I sometimes wonder if my 1851 silver three cent piece ever crossed Abraham Lincoln's path?! Or how many steak dinners, bottles of whiskey, or the comfort of a lady for an evening did my well worn 1879 Carson City Morgan buy? :)

    I love the history regarding US coins. When you have that coin in your hands its just awesome to wonder who, what, when and where it's been
