Even if you don't cherrypick much out of it, a chest full of 500 of them is an impressive gift! Have fun! Reminds me of the party my grandfather...
I just got an envelope from @Cheech9712. Inside was a dollar bill. I was initially at a loss as to what was special about it, until I noticed...

I too am fond of the Irish pieces, being of Irish descent. In the past I've been partial to the gilt ones, but went with a bronzed proof this...
