Pretty fast delivery on these sweeties and they seem to be technically pretty well done. The buffalo nickel is pr 70, I mean it is spotless. The roosie is easily as nice as the buffalo and the others seem average becasue of dust or non-cameo coin or field annomalies. This leads to thinking...
the sac has had a good run, I'm suprised it has lasted so long
george has very bad hair, it has to go...it's just hard to look at
the "O the joy" nickel is cool and a nice ending to the series, these four nickels will surely be a collector favorite in terms of series and o the joy, we can have another registry category...the only problem with that is the average scores will all be pr69-70.
the quarter series has found mainstream acceptance and they are an interesting series and that brings up an interesting query...how much money, as in paid for US coinage, do collectors have? Is it a few billion dollars of the national debt. Not a significant amount but none-the-less that is some money that the people, by hoarding collectibles, have paid for but do not use. So, is this accounted for in any tables...doubtful?

My 05's were perfect, not like my 04's (they looked like the mint kicked them on the floor before sending them to me).

I'd give you the world, just because...
Speak to me of loved ones, favorite places and things, loves lost and gained, tears shed for joy and sorrow, of when I see the sparkle in your eye ...
and the blackness when the dream dies, of lovers, fools, adventurers and kings while I sip my wine and contemplate the Chi.
