    Nice. Be careful not to pay too much for modern coins as they usually come this nice raw.

    Nice coin. Follow insider2's advice. (Never liked the "Hanging Bat" reverse very much.)

    Now that is one of Roger's good attempts at humor. :p

    Nice first piece. My only words of advice are to not get caught up in the hype around the Proof 70's. The Proof 69's are wonderful pieces priced at a small fraction of the Proof 70s.

    Agree with Cameonut, don't buy the 70's make the 70's...

    It is stuck in my head I will now see every Washington quarter as a hanging bat variety. :D

    One extra advantage is that now you have a confirmed 70 to use for comparison to other coins you might be looking at,
