    I just like to read about coins. That is why these forums are so much fun. I do have to admit that I am more likely to look at an MPL posting, but I welcome all posters. Steveimage

    I love them Roosies, but MPL's are awesome too! Next coin I buy other than a Roosie will be a MPL!!! So, set one aside for me brothers.image

    I would like some Seated Dimes post or Barber Dimes post or Bust Dime post myself.

    I do like the Roosie post also and enjoy the Matties post even though I know nothing about them. They sure are pretty!

    Are you talking about those little silvery cheap looking disk that stopped being worth something in 1965????? Because if you are, my vote will be for those unbelievable first cent proofs (about 50 years OLDER than those cheap looking silvery disk) That when combined are easily worth an entire set of those cheap silvery disk!!!! AND, they are prettier too!!!image

    So no respect for the seated dollar and liberty nickel guys? image

    I voted neither but between the two i'd have to lean towards the MPL

    I like the Roosies a lot. Especially the clad.

    But then, there aren't many coins I don't like a lot.

    I collect 20-slab, blue plastic PCGS coin boxes. To me, every empty box is like a beating heartimage NOT.

    People come up sometimes, and ask me, G99G, are you kidding? And I answer them no, I am NOT KIDDING.
