Just read about Silver Cops nice find with the Stone Mountain and wouldn't you know it but I get my first silver commemorative. Scored the 1920 Maine Centennial half. I always figured I'd get one up here in Maine. Can't seem to get a nice picture of it but check it out!

Thanks - yes I see that and I think it grades out pretty well in hand. The red book gives a good detail on it's release being delayed for the centennial then sold around here. Maybe it was similar with the Stone Mountain and people in Alabama grabbing these special release coins.

My photo set-up is pretty poor. No tripod and a single 60 watt light bulb ;D - My place is pretty much full of my kid's toys...we kinda spoil him a bit :tongue3: - I have all the gear but it is just stuck in boxes in my barn and getting it out would detract from my CRH hobby...
