    A 1916 PCGS PR 65 BR. Its killer.

    A few capped bust half dimes.

    Another nice 1914-D Lincoln.

    Maybe finish the FT Roosevelts.

    Lastly more Ikes.

    I did treat myself to a coin surprise this year, really!
    I made a purchase of a number of items, and received the package on Christmas eve. On Christmas Day I opened it up and found two extra items inside, representing an additional value of about 50% of my purchase price. I was stunned and had to inquire if they indeed were gifts to me, and they were! Oh happy day!

    I'm going to complete my set of cameo franklins by adding the last one- a 51 in probably a 65 cam grade. Then I can start fussing over upgrades...

    I'm trying to surprise myself with an MS65 Type 2 IKE!

    Of course I've tried this one before but you just never know!

    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!

    From the looks of this post. It looks like I will be choking on, I mean treating myself to more SHQ's that arent even states. So it wont be in the next 12 months but since it was just announced I know I'll have to buy them to complete registry set. I was really looking forward to retiring the set @ 100% compelete at the end of next year. Maybe PCGS wont add them to the registry? I'm thinking they will image

    and maybe a 1914 Liberty nickel.

    But ... Cheng Shua Li guarantees they will be waiting for me when I go to the Olympics in Beijing this summer. The coins are from the collection of an American missionary who died in China with no relatives to share his million dollar estate. Cheng says he is positive I am the only living relative.

    He is also providing special glasses to allow seeing through the smog so I can enjoy the sporting events.
