I'm sorry I have not been on so much lately, here is why.

I received an email from ChildOfTheWheat a while ago saying this:

Hello Osprey!
I have a few extra coins laying around that I don't need...


You know the rest.

I was so happy! I had recently received some nice mail from Michio Kaku (shoutout)

I have been saving my 500th post for this.
So now I am a pillar thingy! And they have finally came on 10/7 (as I am writing this). Feast your eyes.

First up: An AMAZING MS63RD 1961 DD/RPM LMC:

Congrats!

COTW (Child Of The Wheat) is a generous young man, I know.

Keep us up to date on the progress of your LWC set.

I actually have finished my father's Whitman's penny set from the 60's. Little did he know that his son would complete it! Last month I bought a 33 and 23 to top it off.

It ranges from 1909-1998, yearly.

Hi Osprey -

So you have a one-coin-for-each-year set, is that right?
