BillJones that is a fantastic coin!......beautiful
Those are "slabs" by MK Barz. When you buy their bars, they come in those, however, you can send bars to them and have them slabbed like that. I haven't, but I have a friend that has, I believe it's like maybe 15 bucks to send one...?
I have managed to pick up a number of wonderful coins from online auctions, dealers and friends without ever meeting in person.
Being stuck at home more than usual makes admiring and studying coins an ideal hobby.
The bad:
Shipping is a frightening prospect. I’ve had coins I’ve shipped go off the grid for long periods of time and USPS refuses to even attempt to obtain my signature, let alone leave packages with an actual human.
Coin roll hunting is an ideal hobby when stuck at home a lot, but alas, I can’t get coins to hunt. My attempt to complete a full Dansco album of Jefferson nickels from circulation finds remains on hold.

I significantly upgraded a centerpiece (the "Ides of March" denarius) and added a dozen+ other keepers. While it's been a challenging year (to say the least), my collection is better for it.
I'm particularly lucky to have made several trips early in the year to lotview upcoming auctions as I wouldn't have been comfortable spending a house on a coin without seeing it myself.
WHOA WHOA WHOA! Very nice and congratulations @SmEagle1795 That is a nice looking example.
I will remember it for three really nice pickups this year. Took a little extra diligence to acquire these.

I was thinking about not bering able to CBH. Not sure about CRH.

I decided to give up the show circuit, except for 3 shows! Next step towards retirement, although I will never fully retire!
Isn't CRH Coin Roll Hunt? If not, I've been reading a bunch of threads incorrectly.
CRH - Coin roll hunt. Haven't done since March. Only finds have been in Coinstar machines, a pile of Canadian and four silver Roosies since March.
