He does...he just wears a "fat" suit for Christmas so the kids recognize him. :D:p
Ah yes, the passage of time! Time is an amazing thing put into perspective. Surely the Mint will commemorate the passage of another 50 years....
Yeah, but now we can put the blame on you! :smuggrin: On first glance, I thought that was an image of Santa, on his day job! :D
Wow! Anytime you find customer wrapped rolls labeled "wreaths" rather than "wheats" you know you're probably dealing with someone who hasn't...
Well, I'm a big fan of the early commemoratives, and I will tolerate "some" toning issues (but not this one :cool:). I would not re-holder it; it...
Well, I guess I'll be the dissenter on this one. I hate making assessments based on pictures, & based on your first pic, I would say definitely...

You're pics are great! Now, I normally do not attempt to grade anything by pic alone - I only like to express an opinion when I have the coin in...
Well, the consensus seems to adequately answer this, however, the contrarian in me says ho...no, no, no...SELL!!!! ...& don't counter offer, just...
