Spent the afternoon reading by the pool and listening to the radio. Whenever a commercial break would come on, I would dive back into the pool. When it's 115 outside, your wet swimming trunks stay warm under water for about 25 seconds after diving in before the cooler water finally permeates them.

Raw, these sell for spot at most coin shops, and I think that's part of the reason the other better dates are so inexpensive, dealers treat them like type coins without much concern about it possibly being a better date or mintmark. Quite understandable I suppose for a dealer buying 8% back of spot, all he cares about is turning his inventory as fast as he possibly can. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1153651[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1153652[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
