    Don't laugh Dimeman as MFH doesn't look a day over 150...

    He just asked me if I wanted to split a room with him at an upcoming show, but having seen his casket filled with dirt from the motherland once was creepy enough! imageimage

  • MFH both of the coins look extremely nice. I would like to do something like this and am trying to determine a year of interest. Just wondering how you settled on the year that you did. What makes 1847 so interesting to you? Are you planning on having one of every coin minted during this year? In any event, I envy you and the start that you have.

    MFH was actually born in 1747 but opted to do a 1847 set instead image

    I'll have you know that 1847 is exactly 100 years before my birth.
