    Marty,

    I paid 30 % above sheet for my Icon coin and it's my second favorite coin I've ever owned.

    The President claims he didn't lie about taxes for those earning less then $250,000 a year with public mandated health insurance yet his own justice department has said they will use the right of the government to tax when the states appeals go to court.

    It's rare that I buy something at a show that's not on the list I bring with me. An exception was made for this:

    I just paid silly money ($1800) for a 1795 half dollar, O-128 in PCGS-10. This is a tough R5 variety, and rarely seen problem free. So... had to have it. image

    Nice coin.
    I actually paid $150 for the ugly GSA. Once I saw it I knew I couldn't pass it up. I might make it my new icon.

    Yeah, a common date PCGS 67FB merc (sorry I don't have a pic) with awesome toning; !- I got it from Jason at the FUN show. I've had several offers for it, and price didn't seem to be a consideration. Several peopole have seen it is the most beautifully toned merc they've ever seen.

    Although they didn't offer to buy it, I've shown it to Barberlover and Android, and maybe Frank (Pug Dog); I think I showed it to you (MadMarty at the February Noise show (if not I'll have it at ther Lemont show on Sunday).
