I’ve been hoping to find an 1870-S quarter since I was a teenager.

You couldn't have just gone to the bank?

I’m not as old as @ColonelJessup !

Re: No matter where you go in coin collecting, Morgans always steal the show

I didn't really mean any controversary with it. It thought I was stating the obvious.

I'm not offended and I don't think it's controversial per se...but many of us don't think it's obvious and, in fact, think you're very wrong.

Everyone should collect what they like and not criticize the likes of others. However, by stating (essentially) that Morgans are the best and it's obvious, you are (presumably unintentionally) insulting the taste of the vast majority of collectors here.

This thread would have gone much more smoothly if it was titled something like "Morgans Are My Favorite Series".

Re: Random picture thread for Friday

YES VIRGINIA, MOOSE DO EAT SNOW!

Despite watching hundreds of Moose and their behaviors over many decades, this is the first time I actually saw a moose eat snow - and fortuitously I was able to capture it on video

So yes Virginia, not only is there a Santa but you now also have proof that Moose eat snow!

Re: The Collaborative "Virtual 7070" Type Set Project

Here's the piece from my 7070 album. I got this from circulation when I was about 12 yo and mowing lawns for a living. It was in the first iteration of my 7070 when I got my coins back after my mom moved from the childhood home when she retired and I've had it in this album ever since...
