I'll start with our first type slot in the album: the Draped Bust half cent (1800-1808). Here's mine. Post yours! Then we'll all do the Classic...
Hi. Per a suggestion by user "creg" on Collectors Universe, I'm starting another group participation thread over there (so why not here as well?)...
Today (January 14th) would have marked the 115th birthday of my paternal grandmother, Jean Norton Shinnick (1911-1980). She was a talented...
It's going to take a while. Gotta take pics and all that good stuff...
Bump, to move this above the closed contests.
LordM Giveaway #139 (on Collectors Universe) Contest status: CLOSED Winner: see the Collectors Universe contest thread [ATTACH] Since the...

There, you did it! But how many 1931-S cents is that? Looks like the same three, over and over. Edit: oh yeah. You said three, up above....
There was over a grand worth of gold on it at the OLD spot prices (circa 2010). I never wore it except on the bourse floor of shows. All gone,...
Oh, neat. These are something I haven't done much with. I did once have two of them on my old Holey Gold Hat. One day I would like to have a...
Does it knock out ALL the ads, Sal?
