Gorgeous hints of coppery red tone!













I opened the package and saw this beautiful lady in my lap, and I was thinking, “Hey girl, what are you doing?” But I already know, she is here to spend a long time with me :);)
I am very grateful to be the Winner of the Day 4 of the PCGS Giveaway contest. Thank you much. Opening this package has been the highlight of a difficult week, and this is a sure lift to the spirit.
With Gratitude
Aspie Rocco

    Lol, thank you. That is why the Free* asterisk was there, not sure how high the percentage is for prizes like this, but it is ok, I hope.

    Aspie, You've been studying Jeffersons with a loupe for some time. Your head will explode if you start looking at 19th century coins with a 20x loupe. :#

    I agree! I recently picked up some 1830-1877 half dollar types and there is so much going on. I was thinking earlier how to describe all the hand carved “imperfection” of the details I see, best term I can muster is “Jaunty”

    I worked with a guy who won a new car and all he could do was complain about how he had to pay taxes on the 'income.' Funny, he didn't want to decline the new car ... just complain about how unfair it was.
