  1. I must say that those are really lovely coins, all of them. I like that you created a really nice collection of coins representing your Grandfather's birth year. It's funny because I've never done that so extensively, but have, in the past, purchased coins based on the birth year of a family member, and I've been contemplating doing that again.

     

    I do have one thing to say about one of your indian cent coins. I think there is something wrong with it, or maybe it's just the way you took the photograph. At first I thought my eyes were crossing, or I was about to have another attack of vertigo. It looks a little off kilter. I was wondering if you'd send it to me for further observation. ;)

  2. The large cent makes a good collection mate for this proof half cent also a recent addition to the type set.

    ok, so here's what you have to do...

    crack both those ....ers out of their plastic holders so you can really enjoy them AND take photographs like you'll never be able to do otherwise --- if you let pcgs do that, there's no guarantee they'll get the WHOLE gorgeousness of those proofs.

     

     

     

  3. From Ebay for my dansco. Slightly below my grade range but it looks so nice I couldn't resist.

    From the bay state coin show in Boston. I couldn't find any coins that I needed so I put a little money into a world silver set that my wife is actually supporting me buying :o It's making for a nice display...

     

    Some of the holders are a little scuffed which looks worse in images than it does in hand.
