Some people here know me because of some of my winded replies
and others because I purchased coins from them, or from other forums. I feel it's important for us to share positive experiences (or negative) so others can learn and become familiar with the good and not so good in the hobby.
In his introduction thread, Ed @ ES Coins went into detail about his journey into collecting, then selling, and his journey developing high-quality photos and a very high-quality video process. Really high-quality images of very nice varieties and videos of rotating coins that really let the mint luster come through. If you haven't had a chance to see either, visit when you can find a minute (or 30).
One of the things you will find on his site is what he calls "Fun Rolls". He is very upfront about letting people know he puts these together for the enjoyment of collectors. They are most definitely not your normal roll of 1940-1950 Lincoln cents. Back at the beginning of Sept. I unexpectedly received a package in the mail from ES Coins, not long after they joined the forum. A "Fun Roll" is what he sent to me and
my only disappointment was in myself for being so busy I haven't been able to share some of the varieties that were in the roll before now. That's really what this thread is about; that I wanted to do a shout-out and say "thank you" to them for the roll.
There were four MS Red varieties in the roll, two RPMs, and two BIE's. (My images won't be able to do them justice but I'll add a few images to this post to whet people's appetite but I will also start a new thread for each variety.)

I may be repeating myself but visit the site for some great images and see if there is anything that grabs your attention.
(ES Coins is scrolling across the top of the page if you would like to visit. With Christmas coming up maybe someone loves you enough to get you a roll or something!
