    Nice FFTY. I was thinking to take a pic of mine.. but I already had that last post with the displays. There are some for the year that haven't ended up in a display. Hoping this coming year is just as fruitful. GL this coming year.
    Future goals: Capped bust coin, Flowing hair LC, Classic head LC, VT copper, MA copper, Pistareen, Two-cent pc, SLQ, GW inaugural button, Excelsior button, Civil war token, and a gold ring.

    Thanks. Yeah, for the last couple of years I've been setting ALL my finds aside and keeping them separate over the course of the season and then start to put them in displays and merge them with everything else after New Years....gives me something to do when the ground is frozen!
