Hagerstown and Frederick (30 min apart) on the same weekend? Ugh. I'd love to come up (and see the folks), but can't face the 6-hour drive each...
Those are just flow lines on the obverse. The die that struck this coin was pretty worn, producing more pronounced lines. On the reverse, that's...
Oh, wow. I understand that you've dug yourself a deep hole. You're going to have to work a lot harder than most of us just to break even. I wish...
