No, it was the one I listed on this forum under errors. Everyone said I needed to get it certified. My son brings home all coins from the till that are old and $.50 and up. I go through them and keep a few and send most back. He has my list of what to look for. I get to keep all foreign coins as they do not know what to do with them and "gift" them to me. One girl brought him a 64 dime as the "coin star" change counter and changer kept kicking it out as not a dime! Their loss!

This one I got from Teletrade. I put in numbers and forget about it. If I win fine I steal them and if I don't there will always be another coin. Scotsman, Stacks and Heritage all have awesome auctions. I can't play with the big boys, but then there are coins they aren't looking at either. So if I can live with a fair number and it wins.....great. You have to be able to resist the urge to win at all cost. One thing I have learned is there will always be another coin sooner or later, and I usually get it for less! Patience is the key!
