Our cat looks like this one, but not as aggressive.[IMG]
I'm addicted to Lincoln Cents. But I also like the Mercury dimes, Buffalo nickels, standing quarters. These were the ones we look forward to...
I'm surprised they don't make a soft border to put around a slab to protect it like they do cell phones. A bust half I owned years ago and sold...
