A couple of Battle Creek’s I acquired from Skyman a few years ago and an 1883-O bought raw in the 80’s.

Frank was a bright light in the forum. This is a tough loss, especially tough since he was only 53. It won’t be the same without seeing new threads being started by him. Special condolences to Bobby, Stefanie and all of Frank’s other close friends made from these boards.

I never saw the Beatles, but saw The Rolling Stones in 1965 and 1966. The opening band in 1965 was the Byrds. In 1966 the McCoys (Hang on Sloopy) and the Standells (a Boston Red Sox standard “Dirty Water”) were the openers.

Come on Lee, move out here to California. 👍

Thanks for this info. I was confused after seeing Coin Facts comparing the 1837 head differences. They show the 1837 as the head of 1837.

I haven’t read anything about the 1837 head of the 1836 before. Is that rarer than the head of 1837?

I like it very much.

A couple of years ago I had a registered package with 20 coins from CAC suddenly go dark. Tracking on Registered packages is normally an exercise in futility anyway. The package, on the way to California from New Jersey actually tracked for the first 3 days, hitting 3 different postal units……all within 50 miles of each other. For the next 2 months there was no word on its location. Then out of the blue it started tracking again when it arrived in Atlanta. It was like Christmas come early. The package arrived 3 days later. It was a little banged up but not as bad as I was imagining. Other than that close call I’ve never lost a coin coming or going out of at least 1000 coins.

That’s awesome!! Congratulations.

Besides the description on the insert, the code for Environmental Damage (97) is also there.
