[QUOTE="Skyman, post: 2665275, member: 28299"]Thank you! I have literally hundreds of Washingtons. The VAST majority were minted in 1940 - 1964.

Actually, with this thread I keep a list of what I've posted, and every time I post I add the latest Washie to the list so I don't repeat them... well at least for 8 months or so, posting one a day... ;)[/QUOTE]
