I like them too. There is enough variety to keep one busy for years. I'm trying to collect SC pennies by mint more than by ruler though I still...
Nice coins all. I need to get some camera work done so I can join in the fun with you guys. Maybe later today I can shoot a couple. In the...
Very nice. Welcome to the dark side. You've opened up a whole new world of collecting pleasure.

I agree that it should not be dismissed without having it in hand but I assure you mine is quite real. The OP coin is in my opinion at least not...
