well, Helder, Just got back from my Income Tax appointment. looks like I'm getting back $2800.00 from FED and State combined. I think I know what I'm going to spend it on.....


300 rolls of cull wheat cents?

There are better things to spend it on like gold or The King of Cents, but hey what ever you want to get

If you do get the 1909 S VDB from The Penny Lady, tell her I made the recommendation

Well it would be a bit of fun searching 30,000 Wheat cent coins , however, that would have been a project in my youth, these days, I would probably fall asleep after the first roll.

You are probably right on that point.

Although I enjoyed looking at all your completed sets....the photos you share that really impress me are the ones when you have your camera pointing up to the skies.....

Thanks Greasy!

Sadly no recent star pictures in a few months. I did do the moon.

Yes I do, a beautiful proof 95W along with its 4 gold sisters in the complete OGP Box.

Well that part of the rumor is a teeny bit false - that set is one of ones mentioned up above that I'll never sell or trade away. (my plan is to have them hung like military medals and added to my awards I already have and be buried with them.)

When I first joined I was really happy with my set, but this rabble rouser (Ken Kat) posts his 7070 and his LWC and then I'm like DANG, I need a better set

JUST KIDDING, but being honest, your sets inspired me to upgrade my LWC and LMC and your 7070 (along with the other trouble makers like WineSteven, jBuck, GrapeCollects and others) inspired me to start a 7070 also.

It's funny, I've looked at many of your posts and thought "wow, this dude has sooooo many nice coins" - like the completed Indian set for example. Wow. And I've seen some other sets and coins from others where you are reminded of why you like to collect. So I guess we just all inspire one another.

I've got a number of coins in my various sets that have come from other posters here and that's pretty neat as well.

Thanks all!



What makes this set so special is that I got help starting it and help finishing it. It truly makes one feel special as people wanted to help!
