MeadowviewCollector Pillar of the Community United States 4409 Posts	Posted 12/13/2016 4:23 pm What a wonderful tribute mox. On a related note, Missouri has a soldiers' record database where you can see an individual's service card. This includes those that enlisted in the Navy. http://s1.sos.mo.gov/records/archiv...oldierSearch -MV Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 12/14/2016 09:25 am Thanks thq. Maybe you have a good reason to put a set together too. It's lots of fun. One thing I would warn you about is that the gold for that year (maybe fore all years close to this for all I know) are really pains when it comes to copper spots. You really have to look the coins over carefully and not be fooled by bad pictures if you are buying on-line. I had to look at about 70 $10's to finally find one that had no copper spots at all.
