Thanks for the entertaining thread. I'm amused by the Gallery Mint's presses being "Invincible No. 1" models. I'm reminded of an old movie quote...
Back in the day, those water cooler jugs (carboys) were made of glass but for many years now they have been made of plastic. The glass ones are...
Funny, since I'm now retired I've been trying to search and recycle all my stashed coins. Amazing how large and how heavy those things get. It's...
I stand corrected! ;)
Here's one of mine. [ATTACH]
I bought several of these from JP's Corner a few years ago and have no complaints. Unfortunately, they are listed as sold out and I can't find...
