I can try to explain. My collection is large .. but very heavy in modern coins. I feel a collector in modern coins should have three coins 1994 Matte proof nickel 1997 matte proof nickel and the 1998 s Matte proof half dollar that is my avatar. They are all low mintage coins. What makes my avatar one of my favorite coins, it was in the first group of coin that I sent into a TPG to be graded. I am very happy with the grade. SP 70 Having it as my avatar has nothing to do with it being Kennedy, it is all about the coin. I have been thinking about changing avatars for some time. It is just a hard pick for me. Now .. if I had a MS 70 Franklin ... good chance it would be my avatar Edited by GR58 02/04/2017 03:14 am Report this Post to the Staff

These Days of (name your coin) threads are fun. It is interesting to see the various types of coins that members have in their collections. Report this Post to the Staff
