    WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Were they giving those away. The 1920-PDS Grey sheet for nearly $150 and the 1928's for $90. You need to pick me up some from the nest auction. I looked over a year for a 1920-S unc.

    I need to start going to your coin club meetings OP, I went to mine last night and my son got a harshly cleaned "American Heritage War Coin Set" (or some title like that) for $3.50. It contained a Silver War Nickel, Steel Cent, and two shell casing Bronze Cents, all harshly cleaned (to the point where much detail was removed).

    He paid about $3 too much, but seeing as how he is 6 years old, really wanted it, he is still learning, and as of yet still doesn't understand how cleaning the coin ruins it; I let him get it.

    It made him happy and in the end, that's what really counts. He enjoys the auctions and if I let him, he will bid to a million dollars to get the item he wants, then ask me to "borrow" the money to pay for it. I look at it as life learning experiences for him.

    Oh, and by the way, nice buys OP considering you got the dollars and mercuries at melt value (actually the mercuries are at about 10 times face value)
