Well done @wheelz! Inexpensive by my standards. I bought an inexpensive digital microscope on a whim (a buddy of mine owned a store so I got a...

Water, coffee bean extract…other ingredients to soften the bitter, roasted flavor. ;-)
Well, maybe $110 mixed change collected over the last few months. I was able to snag a few higher state cents for my Lincoln Roll collection, but...
The Liberty Lincoln
My understanding is that Congress establishes what denominations are to be made and how much/many. In 1964, the P and D requirements were tall and...
