I prefer moderately circulated coins. Coins with some character. Coins that look like they worked in the time period that they came from. That's...
Nice coins. Happy Birthday.
Thanks. I found nothing special. But, there were a lot of nice dimes. About 40 barbers.
Number 1) is my guide. I have some lower grade Morgan's with "character" that you can't get in MS anything.

Thanks. It is hard to tell from pictures and I know nothing about wood grain. Luckily for me I don't intend to sell an. I just like to sort and...
