Great coin @Dafydd. I am looking forward to reading this in more depth later today when I have more time.
Who cares that it's been "cleaned"?! That is an awesome coin!
Nice! I like those coins. Have yet to get one myself though. Yours is very attractive.
I got this 2000-D Maryland quarter in change this afternoon. Very deep, strong strike, and the reverse is positively prooflike. Kinda cool. I even...
Wow, what a thoughtful and special gift! A wonderful coin. Happy birthday!
Nice one!

Thanks! It was too nice to pass up, especially in attractive mint-state condition. Although there are actually a surprising number of MS graded...
