That's a great idea and it's called a thematic collection. Some even collect animals, reptiles, flowers, etc. Nice thought you have and should be...
Just some simple advice...start a 401K or a 403b if your employer offers one first. Coins come after that with what you can afford after putting...
Yes, I do see something there but I did not want to offer an opinion as I just don't know for sure what it is. Better playing it safe than opening...
I'm leaning heavily towards grease struck also but I thought, since the incorporation of the MM in the dies after 1989 that possibly the mint mark...

I wonder then if it's legal to pick up dropped French Fries and other food to take home for my mulch pile? LOL. Of course I would rather have...
Ever see that picture of a frog half way down a storks gullet? It reads "Never Give Up".[ATTACH]
Why certainly he should keep them if it pleases him or you to. It's what makes you, the collector happy is what counts. It's just that many of us...
