I think you should contemplate a few things before undertaking such a collection... Do you have the means to complete it in the grade you want?...

(Trying to change the subject....) Have you guys seen my fishing videos? ;) p.s. I shudder to think what you all would think of me had I...
Very nice group of Lincoln's. Thanks for sharing. Incidentally, your coins (specifically first coin in 2nd row and the next to last coin in the...

p.p.s. I'll take Sunnywood and spot you 80. :D
p.p.s. I'll take the Battle Creek and spot you 50. ;)
