I decided to put my last weeks buys on the Modern Coin section because most of them are Modern Coins. So do not get mad admins or moderators, I apologize in advance. I got my first Sacagawea 200 P $1, my first SBA 1979 P $2, and my first Mercury dime 1935 P $5. Pictures will come later.

The pictures don't do the Sac or SBA any justice. They have a great luster and are extremely pleasing to look at.

When you used the image optimizer, leave the New Size field at 600 while changing the Image Quality lower until the size (in green, under left side of the photo) is below 100k.

Even with small images, they still look like good purchases.

Nice coins! They cover a ton of history too. From Lewis and Clark's adventure 100+ years ago to women's right to vote and then the Mercurys from WW1 through the depression. ( I'm into history at the moment because the coin I was given earlier today was from the French Revolution. )

Also just saved this one from circulation today. My sister got it from a guy who was paying for some food at Dairy Queen. I bought it from them. Its my first Presidential, a John Adams 2007 P.

Great coins you have there, YN! Love the John Adams. Thanks for sharing and I hope you'll keep us apprised of your progress. We love pictures and you're doing a great job of it.

Nice coins. You can even ask for the modern coins at your local bank. You'd be surprised what they have and you might even get some BU ones, if asking for rolls. And you will get them at face value too!
