    Hey Todd , I understand completely ...
    hope both buttons show a lot of detail

    Yeah a C.B. quarter or half would be an unbelievable day Don , thanks

    Fantastic Dan. Would make my summer if I found a capped bust dime. Have to settle for the 2 in my coin collection for now, and they're not as nice looking as the one you found. Thanks for sharing.
