    Cardinal's coins are filthy. Others are too, but his resonate with me more than others.

    Cardinal - haven't seen you in a while, but glad to see your coins!

    Is this our version of the Academy Awards catwalk?

    Sorry, I meant the red carpet.

    I had no idea that such an innocuous thread would have generated so much interest, but I'm absolutely enjoying every image and every story. Wow!

    Wow! When I clicked on this thread I had no idea I was stepping into the stratosphere of collector-owned, (as opposed to museum-owned) rare coins. Beautiful pieces everyone. image

    For the weekday folks who may have just seen this thread for the first time:

  • << <i>I have a single IKE which is unique and I guess would be in the Top 10 fir IKE's IMO.

    image

    Of course, evaluation of a top 10 coin need not be grade dependent since grading is relative to a specific opinion at a specific time. Those opinions, as we all know, are subject to change and then the thread would simply degenerate into who has what Pop 1 or Pop 2 coin. >>



    Wow, you were finally able to get this in a PCGS holder!
  • cameron12xcameron12x Posts: 1,384 ✭✭✭
    Cardinal--all of your coins are utterly amazing! image
