Although not an ancient coin collector, I do have a great deal of respect for the talents and passion you guys show for your branch of...
I found a Barber Dime in a roll not too long ago bugo. Also, a V nickel in loose change several years ago. Both were common dates and well...
Good grief Caz, now were going to have 6 year olds counterfeiting notes.:D Bruce
