The problem was, pretty soon I was only missing the key dates, but wasn't willing to get them in worse condition than my nicest coins. Double-whammy! As someone mentioned earlier, time to clear the cobwebs and let the bank account recover :-) Enough rambling - good to see another 2C collector! Scott[/QUOTE]
