    Thanks Steve! We are having great fun putting this album together, and lack only 4 coins now to complete it. BTW, can you tell I’m proud of my grandson, lol.

    Even cooler is having a 7 year old who knows what the word "idiom" means.

    When applied to coins it's a person that picks out better, variety or rarer coins from low price bargain price bins from a dealer.

    Just something fun. Forty something years ago, we didn't have as many reference books. Cherrypicking dealers was much easier. The dealers I knew didn't care about varieties. They made money and everyone was happy.

    I'm not sure for cherry pick in particular, but in many cases it's hyphenated if modifying a noun and two words if on it's own.

    Examples:
    I cherry picked through his coins.
    This is a cherry-picked coin.

    Lots of words go from two words to one (no hyphen) with a similar pattern:
    This is an everyday occurrence.
    This happens every day.
