Some very nice coins on this page! Love all the gold, and that 31s cent has nice color.
65 for mine
I'm counting on you Rusty!
I downloaded the pi'cs to my pc, put them on photobucket then posted them here. Like you I look forward to Joe K's book but still haven't heard...
I think I'll just leave it up as a warning. It's funny how things cycle around. Anyway, maybe someone can find the elusive 4th MM (on a genuine...
