Title: Finally.
Post by: markn on August 25, 2013, 08:12:26 PM
PPH and I have had very little luck getting Centennial florins for our own collections.  I found one a few months ago that I was sure was a keeper (unlike the other two I have which while nice enough are not what I wanted).  Turns out that the good folk in California agreed with me.  MS65. Common in this grade (they weren't when I started looking) but it's great to finally have one in the standard I want.

Maybe they need to go to fractional grading? MS65.1 for one, MS65.8 for the other? :angel:

Both nice, just Mark's is nicer.. :)

Probably not for long if he won't do the swap. :diablo:

Yes.  I sleep with my coins under my pillow in a locked briefcase hand cuffed to my wrist.  For some reason I keep waking up with hacksaw marks on my wrist.  PPH denies any knowledge of anything.

I could suggest alternative uses for the handcuffs that would save your poor wrists from further nocturnal attacks. :diablo:

Good luck with that.
