Looks as if Ms. Liberty has spent a little too much time around the Fukushima Diiachi plant.
Great commems. Do you live near Sharpsburg? My brother-in-law's mother used to live nearby, on the Potomac. I've been to Antietam several times;...
Great to see the coins, everyone, keep 'em coming. Leadfoot, that's a gorgeous large cent.

Thanks for the informative post! I'm tracking a few white 48's right now, among others and have noticed their good strike. I'll take my time,...
