Second, you might find the thread linked below of interest as it has a whole bunch of BBs posted, along with good discussion: http://goccf.com/t/288744 "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff

Pbax76 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 06/12/2020 11:42 pm Thank you for all the feedback from everyone. I'm a rookie to the coin collecting world. I apologize for my messy posts. I will try to be more descriptive and not post a decade of coins all at once. Happy hunting! Report this Post to the Staff
