@Vicky shoulders - looks like a fun sort ahead for you. Take your time and do some study on your coins. There are key/semikey dates, varieties...

@kden Many members have a pocket piece...generally with some sentimental attachment. It's quite common. Some keep a piece to generate...
@White Ger. Shep. Lover That's an interesting perspective...I went to the latest photos and I have to agree. If you sit back and forget that...
