 I think that flea markets have a lot of fakes there.

Aidan: you have a point, flea markets do have fakes, but the probably have better prices than a coin store, and some people can't tell the difference, (AKA: flea market sellers...) so you get a great deal on the real stuff!!

We need to pick up our game! A few forums have almost caught up with us!

I study early American coinage so lets either start from colonial issues or from 1792 onward!
