When I was a kid, and the GSA CC Morgan clearance were available for 30 bucks a coin, and that was too rich for my blood. Also, the 1972 doubled die Lincoln was a new thing, and I tried so hard to find one, but no luck. In those days a St Gaudens double eagle was about a hundred dollars, and that was out of my reach as well.
All that said, I do have a few nice coins, and even found a variety or two in unmarked slabs.
I really enjoy old US halves, esp Draped Busts and Seated Liberties.
I'm looking forward to engaging with you all. TY
