I am a die hard US collector and been that way for fifty years. I was at a coin show and mingled at a dealers display of ancient coins some years...
Man I wish I had an artistic gift like that.

That is a darned nice wheatie..... Reminds me of checking all the pay phones back when I delivered newspapers. If I happened to find a dime in...
