Sap,

Congrats on your acquisition. You know if you would have mentioned to us that this was on your list, folks here would be coming out of the woodwork to help out.

What other "unfulfilled" desires are on that list?

Whoop whoop!

Nice looking coin! These are hard to find in nice condition no matter where you are. Spent quite a long time looking for the one in my 7070.

I did.

It's always been in my forum wantlist, both the old thread and new thread, and I even posted a separate want thread here, in case any helpful American forum members didn't notice it buried there in the main list.

I'll be putting a new wantlist out in the next week or so (please don't use either of those old wantlists; they're out of date). The only other US coin denomination I don't have and would like a representative of is the half-cent.

Alright, you got me. I did see that list but failed to see that entry 3/4 of the way down the page.

I shall pay more attention henceforth.

Very nice!

I lost a chance to get the perfect Twenty Cent coin for my 7070.

Well, perfect for my collection.

And I did not lose the chance and much as I gave it way.

I love the 20-centers! I wouldn't mind getting the one year 20-center from Canada!

My old scanner doesn't work as well on my new computer as it used to (it's a HP - they refuse to make their products future-proof) so this 2400dpi scan is as close as I could get:

1875-S-Twenty-Cents---Mine-At-Last!

It's still better than what I could get with my current camera. Does it show what you're looking for?

SAP if you ever run into any problems where they will not ship to your country just let me know, I will get the coin for you and send it to you myself. That way you will not have to wait so long to acquire one.
