[QUOTE="tjenkins_1983, post: 420963, member: 8167"]So, here's what I'm planning: - Whenever I look at the collection, I plan on putting any loose coins in 2x2's free of charge (God knows I have plenty to go around). - They already know that I am by no means, an expert.

I am pretty excited that they asked me to look at them. I take it as a good sign of trust and it'll give me a chance to hone my skills.[/QUOTE]
