A beautiful coin.
It's fun to check the notes. There's a fellow in our local club who collects the stamped notes. He has something like 100 different stamps and a...
Your coins are all beauties. I especially like the Jefferson. Photography is outstanding too.
The Mint site has changed the schedule. It now has three buttons at the top. The auto display is the current sale items. Second button is the...
Good luck with your set. I have the silver proofs in a Dansco but have been thinking how nice a full set would be in NGC or PCGS slabs. I actually...

EAC has their own grading standards. Members get a copy with their membership. They also have a terrific newsletter and a great yearly convention....
Great luck you have. That's a terrific find.
