Wicked nice pickups. Keep that steel cent set in that holder, at least to preserve the story of how you acquired it!

Thank you for your very nice story, Hordfest! I agree with you, that WLH is worth every penny.

I definitely will. I am going to need to pick up a separate steel cent another day but it was worth grabbing this just to see that old guys face light up at having met a need.

Thank you everybody for the kind words! I was nervous about this thread but the positive encouragement is really appreciated. As a relatively younger guy in this hobby (33 years old) it's a bit daunting surrounded by the old guard but this forum is full of great people!
