    Stories like this one make me feel that at least some of our taxes are being used wisely. As long as people like @2ltdjorn are willing to give back to society, we would be fools not to help them financially. We will need more nurses as we age.

    This was in the well known Newman auction at HA of coins in 2013 that sat in envelopes for many decades and acquired special tones and crusts. It was in an NGC holder. Many of the coins went for multiples of MV and I did not come close in my bid. Later, it was listed at an even higher price on a dealer website in a PCGS holder for more than Moon money. It then came up again in a HA auction where it sold for the original price in the Newman auction. About 3 months later it popped up again in a HA auction where I was able to successfully get it at a lower, but still aggressive price. It is a great example from that special collection.

    Best, SH

    Congrats indeed! That's a fantastic achievement, time and dedication to studies. We hope it is put to excellent use.

    That said, here is a collection which takes tremendous patience to assemble given their current rarity. I might be the first (if not one of the first) to assemble a complete collection of this family of Shield nickels in the 20th and 21st centuries.
