Good morning and afternoon, my good friends!� Yesterday I announed the official release of my bi-monthly newsletter, Numismatic Marvels.� I am sure you are all familiar with the Loupe, a newsletter edited and compiled by Centsearcher on behalf of my personal project/organization called Numismastery.� The Loupe is to be relased the first and third week of the month, while Numismatic Marvels will be released the second and fourth.� If you have signed up to receive the Loupe, you have been automatically added to Numismatic Marvels' mailing list.� Subscibing is entirely free, and we have received lots of amazing feedback from our 200 subscribers.� If you wish to get in on the numismatic action, privately message me your email address you wish to have the newsletters delievered to, and I will be sure you are all set.� We do not use your emails for anything other than sending the newsletters, so you can have a peace of mind, knowing that your information is secure.� Like I mentioned, it is free, and you can always unsubscribe.� You have nothing to lose, and you might even learn a thing or two!� Thanks for your consideration.� As for the actual intent of this blog.� I wanted to share with you how much I loved researching numismatic resources as I prepared my first newsletter issue.� There is nothing you can do for your own numismatic knowledge like researching, and sharing what you learned with others.� By practicing this form of studying, there are so many layers of learning.� You learn from reading, then you learn even more from teaching others what you learned!� It is an amazing cycle that builds on itself.� I highly recommend that you do some research on the spesific numismatic topics that you love.� Thanks!

Afternoon and good morning, my good friends!

Hello and good afternoon, my fellow friends and numismatists! I trust you are all having a wonderful week.� Today's numismatic dive will be fairly longer and more in depth than most, so get comfortable, grab a snack, and let's dive into some numismatic marvels!

Top of the morning, my friends!� I recently was able to evaluate the numismatic collection of a family friend, and catalogue his coins.� He is a very kind and generous man, and was pleased with the work I had done.� He knew that I was very passionate about numismatics, and mentioned that he inherited the collection from his father, and he rarely added to it.� For my payment, he insisted that I accept a very large amount.� It was a relatively small collection, and I only spent 11 hours in total.� He paid me in coins, which I was very happy about.� He paid me a VG-8 (or slightly higher) 1912-S Liberty Head Nickel, an 1883 No Cents nickel in AU condition, a 1986 Liberty Proof Set, a 2007 Silver 14-Peice Proof Set, 3 Silver State Quarters Proof Sets, several Barber Dimes, several IHCs for my album, and a Morgan and Peace Dollar.� Don't worry, pictures are to come in a thread.� I am currently at school without access to my coins.� They are absolutely BEAUTIFUL, and it was very nice of him to gift them to me.� Once his son inherits the collection, I plan on buying it in its entirety.� Thanks for letting me tell you about my new coins!� Do you all think I should send in the 1912-S to NGC?� Keep me posted!� Catch y'all later!� -NM�

I shall waste no time getting into the topic of today's blog.��
