[QUOTE="JeffC, post: 4121410, member: 90913"]For about 3 years now, I've been collecting the U.S. Statehood quarters. It's fun because I get to partake in the hobby not just in my spare time (as with most hobbies), but sporadically throughout the day, whenever I come across some change. I was able to get almost all of them in no time at all - and even replaced a good number of them whenever I came across better ones. But - after 3 years - I still could not get Maine, and the two final Territories (American Samoa and Northern Mariana Islands). I happened to mention that in a reply to another post last week. Soon afterwards, I was contacted by a CT member to ask me if I'd like to have 2 of the quarters I'm missing. I was very surprised by the kind gesture. It's nice to be on the receiving end of a random act of kindness. Thanks [USER=104605]@Beardigger[/USER], for your gift. It's something I'll never forget. I'm reminded of one of Robert Brault's snippets: "Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize that they were the big things." Thank you! By the way, I also do not have a Lamborghini. And it doesn't have to be yellow. [ATTACH=full]1068335[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
