Well the year has started off with a bang for me ! In the past month I have been able to acquire quite a few new coins for my collection. It always seems that January is a good month in that regard. Not sure why really since the coins I currently collect are anything but easy to find, and in the past 6 months or so it seems it has gotten even tougher. But for some reason, after the holidays they seem to come crawling out of the woodwork. I hope all you other folks are having similar good luck in that regard and in the year to come ;-}

That's about it for now - I hope you enjoy this as well as future issues of - The Tarnished Truth.
