I'd say you and I agree perfectly. I really liked the blues on this one. Here are my pics, to give viewers another angle: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
For $5 a pop, you really can't go wrong. I mean, she probably spends that much on a grande latte from Starbux.
I probably won't buy many coins in 2019. I'm going on a massive vacation that will cost a significant sum, and won't leave much room in the budget...
Pick your favorite standard, and try to stick to it as closely as you can. Every group has their own standard, whether they publish that or not....
Alright, today I am going to offer an entire beginner's coin collection. One lot takes it all. This would make an *amazing* gift for a beginner, a...

Best picture I have to show this is actually not a US coin. The fields on this one are so reflective that there were some really interesting...

Absolutely, man. PM me with any questions you have. Given your high level of knowledge and proficiency with 20th century coinage, jumping into...
That is how I always say it. The Georgians put the emphasis on the Da-LAWN-eh-gah.
