This one finally arrived after ~2 weeks, so I took pictures myself Thoughts? I had to sell quite a few coins last weekend, many of which I was greatly attached to, and it might take a long time to feel like getting into the hobby again as a buyer. So I'll just try to enjoy what I do still have, which is mostly copper and Morgans.

I kept most of my stuff but had to let about 40 coins go. I need to finish getting the hospital paid off from my COVID "journey" in 2021!

I see separation between the ribbon and curl so it's XF-40 for me. Sorry to hear of your dilemma. I was forced to part with a slabbed $20 Saint to pay for roof repairs a few years ago and about half of my collection (mostly BU Morgans and other silver series) some years before that. I have since revived quite a bit of the lost collection though some I still regret parting with.

I appreciate the kind thoughts. It's like selling your kids!

OK, I'll bump to EF-40, but just barely.

Thanks NS. I am doing ok. Some long term effects of COVID, mostly heart and lung related, but I still love my coins, and I'm still working hard to keep a roof over my head. :)
CCF is my favorite place to "hang out" when I have some time. There's no better group of folks on the Internet in terms of being friendly, accepting, and passionate about what they enjoy.

Best wishes for your health. A divorce about 11 years ago pretty well cleaned me out, so I know the feeling of putting your kids on the block. I always appreciate your thoughtful comments that are instructive to a new guy like me. I'm at XF40 as well with the slight ribbon separation.

paralyze I'm long haulin covid coming on 2 years after I thought "ahh that little flu wasn't that bad" swerving in my car, brain fog and head and shoulders feel weighted with a brick of Lincoln Cents and fatigued half the time. Only thing that helps is get up move and fight it and of course coins. I don't foo phoo covid anymore its real in my world.
XF-40 for me straight grade.
