Nice coins, Bill...someone did you right. Be sure and hold them in your hands. The tactile aspect is one of the best parts about collecting...
Absolutely lovely surfaces on that coin. I love the chocolate brown and minty green. It looks positively delicious.

That's a beautiful collection, doucet.
We don't really know. Numiswiki Great coin, Steve!

I know, huh? Lucky bastard.
