New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

I snuck out when he wasn't looking. Almost got caught, too!

Which shop? What do you have in your neck of the woods in the way of a coin store?

Although that one has a bit better reverse from a contrast standpoint.
But, they sometimes had their act together in 1967:

This may not be the best question, but with respect to the 1965 quarters, do you think there are sharp business strikes that get a SMS designation by TPG companies? I am asking in part because I found a real gem 1965 quarter, but I while I still think it is a business strike, others may disagree.

Absofriggintutely! PCGS is notorious for sticking business strikes that look "too" good in to SMS holders. They've done it to me with Kennedys and many others here with other denominations.

I am at least 30 minutes from you so it isn't like I would do the drive (at least, not in our traffic..makes that 30 minute stretch into 3 hours sometimes).

Only if they swore they would never leave their area.

Russ can do that because his boss isn't too bright, from what I hear
Heh......sorry about that Joe, but I was born out there and spent some time at the Academy when I did my time in the Army.
The NE is for some, but not for others (you guys get too much snow
