In this case, happiness = satisfying my curiosity. Whether the coin is nice or not is completely secondary and unimportant.
OK, OK Hold on to your hats. What is missing from the midnight sky. Thats right, STARS. This coin is graded, well look for yourself....
Without looking at the link I will guess the coin is an MS63. I can also guess the seller (Shawnee) as his photos are very distinctive. They are...
Well I do love a midnight blue sky, but what you are missing is not in that sky (hint-hint).
Oh Mike you are so close with #1
That is the reason that is out of the realm of my collecting habits. I have no interest in RPM's but I has peaked my curiosity on this coin. One...
So I know I just purchased a 1964-D NGC MS67 Jefferson Nickel for my collection. But I have decided to purchase this coin as well because I JUST...
No this coin is a perfect example of my impatience as a collector and I bought it before I decided to started to be more aware of the other...
