The first 30 or so years of my life were in Delaware. Someday I will get around to replacing this crappy photo. 

 

 

Specifically, I grew up outside the state capital, Dover, in a town called Wyoming and attended Caesar Rodney High School. Caesar Rodney, of course, was on the first state quarter.

A YN friend who Ive had the pleasure to befriend sent this set to me last week. Jeff is such a nice kid....and he actually goes to school in Singapore. 

He wanted to gife me something and he chose this nice set. I removed the coins as the plastic to my knowledge has PVC in it....each coin had a very fine coating of dust like ...so my suspicion was correct... as that dust was CN medal. And yeah if your under 20 your a kid...old guys rule...lol

[Paddy54]

Minted here in the states....majority of these were crated in a hurry and dumped in the Manila bay so the Japanese army couldn't capture durring their occupation of the Philippines islands.

Amazing posts so far, coin-gang!! (yup, some super fantastic stuff has been posted)

I was born in Victoria (British Columbia, Canada)

My US Grant and some fancy photo shop..

[Paddy54]

Very cool notes Steve...guess what I also collect Canadian notes...nothing like those...but yeah Canadian and here's a curve ball I collect Cuban notes also! Wow now how does a US citizen have access to Cuban, notes, cigars, and rum?  As I hear in the background the song smugglers blues...lol 

[Paddy54]

Here's a extremely rare US fish scale.... its a 1852/2 less than 10 known examples ...and in xf details its one of the highest graded ...as none over vf that have graded straight.  What's also crazy is the term "minor variety" 

LoL....I think not... the date has an inverted 2 over the 1
