I hit this milestone the other day, attributing coin #30,000 -- an 1861-O CSA-struck half.

That’s amazing.
It's one of my coins -- a cleaned 1878 VAM 223 from when I was still working out the label that I otherwise would have sold years ago.

Hope you continue to attribute many more.....
The first 1,000 were done between 2003 and 2008, first 5,000 took until mid 2013, then roughly 2000 per year since.
