Scroll down to the last item, and if you're interested in offering a trade for that item, PM me!
In addition to the trades you get, there is the possibility of a year-end dividend for you.
I'll be splitting all of the year's proceeds 50/50 with one swapper from the year, selected by random drawing.
See the "OPERATION PAPERCLIP 2013" main thread for details.

I call that #7A, because he then kicked it up even FURTHER by putting in 19 MORE coins! Hence the transition of Swap #7A becoming Swap #7B.
Swap #7B will be on the table for offers until the end of February, so c'mon in and join us if you like! The more the merrier.

Swap #9 has been changed now, since the last item on the table for Swap #9 got no lovin' (to my surprise).
The new Swap #9 is a nice original 1854-O Seated half dollar.
