<p>[QUOTE="CoinJockey73, post: 7641066, member: 118293"]Another amazing gift from another amazing CTer. As everyone on the site knows, i find a lot of modern coin stuff. Lots of silver in circulation still. Then i found out about the W mint marks, and things went a little crazy there. I think I've found 60 in circulation. I gave 3 away in a contest here, sent one to [USER=92655]@Randy Abercrombie[/USER], just because. And I'd send him a dozen more (not of the butterfly, i only have 3 of those!), so that's 4 that have entered and left my hands, already. The one i thought I'd never find, I've found two of, the American Memorial Park, and i only found the second AFTER this transaction, but [USER=104605]@Beardigger[/USER] was reading my mind, i guess.</p><p>This guy, this unbelievably generous guy, we discussed a swap, i thought W for W, then he starts mentioning halves. I don't really have any, and i thought I'd made a mistake in inquiring, but [USER=104605]@Beardigger[/USER] couldn't have been cooler. He was content to swap a W for a W. Only one i needed was the Lowell, and he was OK with a swap for a Marsh-Billings. Great, i put his in the mail last Tuesday and hoped for a safe arrival. [USER=104605]@Beardigger[/USER] alerted me to it's arrival, his took a few days longer, arriving on Tuesday, this week.</p><p>I asked the Mrs if the mail had arrived yet.</p><p>No.</p><p>An hour later, she tells me there's an envelope with 2 coins in it addressed to me.</p><p>I get a little sick to my stomach thinking i received the wrong package. I ask her to leave it be, and I'll take care of when I'm home.</p><p>Too late, i opened it. It's for you, there's a note. Which she reads.</p><p>It seems [USER=104605]@Beardigger[/USER] is one of the good guys.</p><p>There's my Lowell W, along with a Lowell S! [USER=104605]@Beardigger[/USER] had been watching my thread, seeing my new fascination with the S mint mark, and sent me one of those, as well. Just because. It was all there in a lovely note from [USER=104605]@Beardigger[/USER]. I felt like such a heel. I didn't write a note to him or [USER=92655]@Randy Abercrombie[/USER] when i sent their stuff out, sheesh, what's wrong with me? Anyway, thanks again [USER=104605]@Beardigger[/USER] for your generosity. I'm learning what it means to truly be a member of this community. I hope i can only live up to these examples that have been shown to me.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1313948[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1313949[/ATTACH]</p><p>W</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1313950[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1313951[/ATTACH]</p><p>And S!</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you again, all the amazing people at CT.</p><p>I'll post the full sets later.
