    Hi everyone!! Been offline for about a month, and have A LOT of posting to catch up on!! I'll post the highlights (and pics) for your enjoyment. Here goes!! Note: some items (such as clad and some wheats) may not be pictured. Second note: pics may have to be split into multiple posts.

    Congratulations on all your finds - especially your first seated and that Barber Half! Awesome pair of coins!

    Now that I see the electrical you told me about finding, it appears that it is actually a 1951 Museum of Science and Industry token. Here is a picture of what it used to look like.

    Welcome back Paul! You took a break from posting but not from making some great finds. Congratulations on all the silver your finding. Your arms have to look like Arnold Schwarzeneggers arms after digging that much.
