I like the commemoratives - modern as well as old. They're quite a financial challange to collect so I leave it as "liking" them.

Very nice. I have to admit these Soviet coins are tempting.

A decent percentage of my Roosevelt Proofs Registry coins are 69 DCAMs or UCs. When buying coins in that price range the DCAM vs CAM vs just proof carries very little premium and they are so very pretty.

Lot of violence in these guys lives. It's a beautiful coin. Hope you enjoy it.

Nice coins. I really like the Jeffersons. It's a great set in any condition.

Interesting notes. I like the deer the best.

Great project. I think that you'll find some of the "common" date Jeffersons are a challenge to find in truly GEM UNC condition. I'll certainly enjoy watching your progress on this one.

Great looking coin Mark.

Beautiful notes. I have a few Canadian $2 notes but nothing from that series. The colors are super. Singapore notes very nice. Colors and flowers are great.

Nice 1/2 groshen.

Nice notes. I really like the scenes on them.

Nice Roosevelts Jeff.

I know a lot of collectors credit Lincoln cents as their introduction series. I wonder how many folks actually started because of Jefferson nickels like Finn. Nice nickels everyone.

A few new Roosies for the collection. Both are PCGS FB coins. The toning on the 55D looks really unattractive in the photo but in reality is quite nice. It's a rose colored tone with golden highlights. I don't usually like toned coins and almost never purchase anything for my Roosevelts with toning but I took a chance on this because of the price. I like it. The exception to my toning rule is the wonderful overall golden hue taken on by many Jefferson nickels. I find it quite attractive and will purchase coins toned that way but I won't pay a premium for them.

Take a look at this puppy on ebay. I hope he gets his price. I have 6 or 7 of those. ANA 1962 Badge on ebay

Nice Merc.

Very nice. I have the Pike's Peak medal in my collection but none of the last three badges. I haven't gotten anything new in a long time. Maybe it's time.

Way to go!

I like the diving scene on that note.

The cityscape on that Baltimore medal is wonderful. Nice medals.

Nice Uganda notes.

Wonderful design. The strike is superb too.

Nice notes everyone.

So Al, what do you think the grade is? Do you see any flat spots from wear? Any fine lines that would indicate cleaning? This looks like a nice coin but I'd be reluctant to assign a grade with having the coin in hand.
