My LAST purchase for 2020!
Oh what a purchase it was?
Perfect way to END this miserable year. I bought three rolls of the 2020 Quarters. Today from my bank. After going through my last 2 1/2 rolls. It happened. Hunted down my first "W" mint mark Quarter, At 9:00 pm Central time. Wow. Saturday (next year, lol) going back to purchase some more. If I found one in 3 rolls, who knows how many I can find in a whole box?
"Jesus died for you and for me, Thank you,Jesus"!!!

The Gillmore Medal is a military decoration of the United States Army which was first issued on October 28, 1863. The medal is named after Maj. Gen. Quincy A. Gillmore who commanded Union troops attempting to seize Fort Wagner in 1863 during the American Civil War.
Also called the Fort Sumter Medal, the Gillmore Medal commemorates the men who served in the fighting around Charleston, South Carolina, in 1863 and was presented to all Union soldiers who had served under General Gillmore’s command. The medal was pinned to the front of a military jacket from a swivel with no attached ribbon.
Since the Gillmore Medal was issued on the local authority of General Gillmore, it was considered an unofficial decoration by the United States Army, but was permitted for wear on a military uniform. In 1905, with the creation of the Civil War Campaign Medal, the Gillmore Medal was declared obsolete.
Just in from Golden State Mint. In the Bang for the Buck category, I can't get enough of these copper rounds. They made great stocking stuffers and end of year "thank you" gifts for our favorite retailers:

I got a new computer with an up to date operating system, and had to go through a little growth to discover how to transfer pics to computer as I'm not up to date. I think all well....
Anyway, here are my most recent over the last week.
