    Cazkaboom One for all, all for me.

    John, I'd give your 1909 a solid VF35
    Nice pickup. Mind letting it out what you paid?

    I found mine for five cents in a junk bin. I too am trying to put a circulated set together for the 1940 and older dates. For anything above 1940, I have one folder for circulated, and a Whitman album for UNC 1940-1958 Wheats. I am going to try to make all the possible Philly mints proof if available at a decent price. Though I am not expecting anything before 1950 for the proofs.

    A group from work bought 60 tix, we won $8, LOL. We all agreed beforehand if less than $1k we would donate it all to our company hope & family trust fund we established at work a few years ago to help sick or unprepared employees. It's a great cause, but we started it because we had an employee lose his 11 month old son. He was back & forth between our town, KC, & Chicago childrens hospitals for 5 months straight. I walked by engineering everyday & noticed old rack mount servers, 50 lb+ copper wound rheostats, 20-24" monitors with very light pixel loss, etc. This sickened me, so now we have the fund. I most recently sold 25 Palm Treo 855 or 755p smartphones @ $25 each.

    Where did you buy your microscope if you don't mind me asking?

    Yes, are the lights adjustable? Looks similar, but better built than the Vmicro ones.

    i bought it online on a site called pixmania.
    they only deliver in Europe as far as i know.

    Lights are adjustable in strength (8 led lights), you cant say you only want 4 lights tu burn, but you can easely adjust the strengts of the 8 lights.
    Brand is VEHO and its the x200 (there is a x400 version also)

    I am sure there will be online stores that have that one that deliver in the states to

    Picked up a couple nice quarters that have some nice eye appeal for pretty cheap. Enjoy!

    I would get those matches out of there unless you want some toned silver.

    Over 1900 years old?!? It looks good for its age.
