I received my trade yesterday and my trading partner. George in Arizona sent me a "cooked" New York Statehood Quater by Ed that has beautiful coloring. He also sent a real nice 1949 Franklin Half that will fit nicely into my book and a misstruck 1999 Lincoln cent that is off center by about 50%....

(You know what I mean -- when dark brown , the detail is somewhat difficult to...
