<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 2735212, member: 10461&quot;]OK, so some of those have &quot;issues&quot; (the &quot;rainbow effect&quot; you love so much on that &#039;24-S is, in this particular case, <i>secondary</i> toning from an old cleaning, so it&#039;s a minor &quot;problem&quot; rather than a plus).&nbsp; But if you like &#039;em, that&#039;s what counts.&nbsp; Some look problem-free, just worn.&nbsp; That steelie looks pretty nice. </p><p><br /></p><p>They <i>all</i> look like fun.</p><p><br /></p><p>And hey... sounds like <i>the price was right!</i>&nbsp; That was a super kind gesture of your benefactor, no matter what condition the coins were in.</p><p><br /></p><p>I like people who take the time to write open thank-you letters like this, show real enthusiasm, and post pictures of what they got.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I&#039;ll tell you what- since you like those Bahamian coins, I have quite a few proof singles and specimen-quality UNCs that were cut out of low-mintage Bahamian mint and proof sets.&nbsp; (I got &#039;em for free or nearly free from a kind Collectors Universe member a while back- so what comes around goes around.&nbsp; CU has been very good to me, and I&#039;ve both <i>gotten</i> and <i>given</i> a lot over there.&nbsp; Just gettin&#039; started here, since I started regularly posting here last August, despite my early join date.) </p><p><br /></p><p>So anyway, these Bahamian proof singles were left over after a dealer had cannibalized some sets for the silver coins, so they&#039;re nonsilver denominations like 1c, 5c, 10c, and maybe a 15c piece or two.&nbsp; Nonsilver, and low catalog value ($1-ish apiece), but with spectacular eye appeal.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll send you a small sampling of &#039;em if you <b>PM your address</b> and are patient with me (I&#039;ve got a bunch of giveaway commitments and a trade to ship out, so I&#039;m playing catchup on my mailing obligations).</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve got several rolls of BU Wheaties, too, though only the very common late dates.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regards, Robertson (&quot;Rob&quot;) Shinnick (&quot;LordM&quot;)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
