    It's about the only clad quarter on the list. Eventually I'll download a picture of a nice 1969 and use it.

    I'm love old airplanes, specially WWII airplanes. The one pictured in the only flying P-38 F model in the world. It's called the Glacier Girl. It was located 268 feet below the ide in Greenland. I drove 10 to 11 hours to see it fly for the first time in 2002.

    reason for choosing the author icon

    is because all the cool coin icons were taken and I think its a cool pic of Jimi.

    I'm stuck with it. Have been, for a while.

    Once in a while I'll take a break from it and use one of my coins as an icon, but it's always there in the mirror to haunt me, no matter what...

    Thanks Atomic. I've owned that coin since 1991, so it's been with me now for only 13 years, and I'm still enjoying it a whole lot!! It'll be a tough (and expensive) one for me to upgrade ...

    Because I own it. It is also a gentle reminder, to me, that I was collecting these colorful Ikes long before they were held in any regard and back when a Dealer, who asked the question, "What do you collect?" would follow that question with a loud chuckle upon hearing my answer. Life can't be that serious. Certainly coin collecting isn't. That's my tap on the shoulder.

    There was a thread about unopened GSA's, as to whether there was a way to figure out the date without opening it. my idea was to Xray a Morgan to see if I could read the date. That didn't work well because the Morgan is too dense and doesn't have enough relief to show up on film. I then decided to figure out if I could Xray any coin, so I got the highest relief coin I had, a buffalo nickel and took pictures of it. They turned out pretty well with the rev overlying the obv. Still can't read the date, but a unusual picture anyway.

    I have mine because this cameo looks like a coin design and when I signed up there were so many coins in use that I didn't want to duplicate any of them. I own this cameo and doubt if anyone will have one like it. By the way, did you know that August ST. Gaudens when studing art worked as a cameo carver?

    I read that somewhere.
    Have a good day, Gary
