    Nic,

    That 96 quarter is fabulous, And thanks for correcting me on the grade. I was told by someone that you had a 58, cause it sure looks better than that.

    Nic: May we please see the reverse of the 1796 Quarter -- It's beautiful!

    You are correct, buying just one more coin ALWAYS cures this condition.

    Hello, my name is Doug. I am a first-year-type-aholic. ( . . . pause for applause . . . ) It's been three weeks since I bought a 1936 proof. (. . . . more applause . . . ) I fight the urge daily.

    What about first year issues from a branch mint? Doesn't prove I have a problem . . . I can quit anytime I want.

  • NicNic Posts: 3,363 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Doug.... that outstanding branch mint means nothing!
    TDN..... the Hayes coin (now there was a 1st year man with a problem) is a great start. As your post shows one does lead to two sometimes. Congratulations.
    Baley.... this one is for you and your fight! K

    So that's where the Bass 1794 $ went...

    I think the Hayes 1866 $ is an excellent choice for this thread. Anyone got any more Hayes coins to show?

    Al, Welcome! Show us that killer! Do not go that far yourself though as you will scare us all at the meetings.

    One more for Baley. Old and neglected and I felt sorry for it. Otherwise I never would have helped.

    Nic . . . I went down that road a couple of years ago and saw one that needed to be rescued. It was branded with an O. The pictures I took insult the coin, but you get the idea. It's an NGC65, but probably a PCGS 64 due to weakness on the left side of the shield.
