While general conversation is no longer accepted here I just want to say high to some old friends and to tell them I'm working again [at the same place for over a year now] and am collecting again on a much smaller scale then I used to.

I did manage to save my icon coin plus my crusty [never dipped] 1865 seated quarter.image.

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.

    While I have yet to see an image of this coin that does full justice to the luster, the image used in either January or February of 2002 from a Heritage sale should still be on their website [a pcgs 65] that sold for 2300 including the buyers fee. You can tell the coin by the crusty edge toning near the left reverse rim. go ahead & post it if you like.

    My opionion of this coin is it is undergraded as a 65 soley because of the reverse crusty looking toning.

    Unfortunatly, a long bout of unemployment following a kmee injury cost me most of my collection including all my barber halves, I am only now just getting started actively collecting again.

    Les,

    Good to hear you are back and about. I remember you showing me some of your coins a while back while down at either the MOON show or Northwest show in Brooklyn Center. If I see you wondering the shows, I'll sat "Hi" to ya!

    I work nights now so the Friday session at M.O.O.N. this spring will probably be the next major show I will be at this spring. See you then.

    My name is adam and its nice to hear a fellow collector, and knee injury guy is back collecting. I too had a serious knee injury, aswell as other parts of the legs. Its ruff getting back in the game and moving forward, but its do-able. Nice to meet you and have a great Holiday season...

    Welcome back. Had a few knee injuries myself. There's nothing that will instantly turn you white as a sheet in excruciating pain like a knee injury. Well, enjoy the coins again.

    Welcome back! My knee has never quite been the same since my injury, but I'm usually thankful to not have much pain with them.... I'm glad that you were able to keep a couple of gems...
    My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable !
