Silver coins are very liquid -- you can take them to just about any dealer, many jewelers, and a few other "we buy gold" kiosks. If this is...
lol - thanks!
It's in an air-tite holder now... took it out of the 2x2 yesterday. A couple of the photos are "naked"... the latest pic is in the air-tite
Thanks, Mike -- what are your opinions of the PCGS vs NCG? I have a higher opinion of PCGS, but that's based on nothing but general perception...

Mikenoodle - alright, I'll try again in a few minutes
This is the best I can do with my equipment... [IMG]
No need to be sorry. It's all part of the adventure. As grandma said this weekend, "two days ago I didn't even know I had it." I'll take it...
