10 Feb, 2005

So I’ve been hearing about the Wisconsin quarter issue and how some are worth big bucks. So I looked it up on the internet and came across this forum thread and found something interesting. The quarter I picked up off our dresser has no up or down leaf. Is that normal? What am I missing […]
