    I went to a coin show today with @petro89.
    Being a broke jabroni, I spent a lot of time going through large, bargain bins of miscellaneous foreign coins...on the look out for toners of course.

    This is what I came up with. Nothing spectacular and some being nicer than others, but they were practically free.

    That's a great group Greg, you have a nice eye. Practically free too? I say the day was a success.

    Greg, are you sure that isn't a picture of you and your Mom on those two stamps?

    Back when the Cherrypickers Guide first came out, I had a blast finding cool stuff in junk bins. The price was always right. Fun stuff.

    @gbroke Long time no see!

    Mexico is nice, and I know you love those salsa colors.

    That was my choice as well. Sometimes the one's with rainbow toning look too AT to me.

    That was obviously a dumpster in a nicer neighborhood. :)

    I keep telling people...get into foreign coins. :)

    Nice pickups, and I'm sure you got them for almost nothing. Great job!
