I Took the CRO Plunge! (Photos Posted)

At the suggestion of RYK, I recently signed up for CRO's Early Bird List. I have also been enjoying their very entertaining Road Reports. Today, after scanning the just issued Early Bird List, I called John and he is going to ship me the beautifully toned (in blue, sea green, and golden hues) 1876-CC Quarter. The piece is in a PCGS AU55 Green Label/CAC Gold holder and is for my PCGS Green Label Carson City Type Set.
John is also sending me my first CRO hat. I may not be as dapper as RYK on the bourse (even with help from the CRO hat), but it's bound to sharpen my image!
Update: I picked up the coin and hat today at the P. O. and am very pleased with both! The CC-quarter will add a real touch of class to my Ponderosa Green Label Carson City Type Set. Kudos to John for snaring such a lovely coin! For your convenience, here are photos of the piece.

Please post a photo...of the hat. Does it have Georgia Tech colors?
Congrats!!
<< <i>Congrats. I hope that you and CRO connect on more coins in the future (so long as they are coins that do not interest me

Tech's colors are Old Gold and White, with Navy Blue as a seldom-used third color. In any case, I chose the Black w/Gold hat (see below).
I may have sold all my coins, but I still have my CRO hat collection!

I can't stop laughing at the XL sized hat!

My first CRO hat was also Black w/Gold, but I have the rare "No CRO" variety.

There is also a size Small, but it is elusive, and seldom advertised. Seriously.

GeorgeKellogg, Guess your now forced to purchase a gold piece from CRO too!
<< <i>Why does that hat picture remind me of something on the Jumbo-tron at a baseball game??
Good one!
I look at a few others as well, but I watch for both of those. They have great eyes, great quality products, and price reasonably for what they have.
George, when you get it, post a picture
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

Does the XL size cap have "MAGNON" on the right side?
