Post by: Seed_Of_Evil on August 12, 2002, 09:36:10 AM: Well, i got today morning this coin, but the problem is that I cannot guess what president is painted in the coin. Do you know who is he? My candidates are Jimmy Carter (according to the year) or some Kennedy, according to the photo.

John F. Kennedy (shot heard \'round the world, well maybe not in spain)

Post by: Rya on August 12, 2002, 08:06:04 PM: A new quarter came out...don\'t know if everyone knows. It\'s Louisiana. Their theme is the Louisiana Purchase.
Title: USA residents, do you know this coin?
Post by: Seed_Of_Evil on August 13, 2002, 08:44:02 AM: Yes Rya, i\'ll try to get the entire collection of quarters when it\'s finished (i don\'t know the exact date or year).

By the way, anybody knows what the hell means this status in a shipment? --> "IN STOCK AND RESERVED". This is because the silver dollar i ordered on 30th June, it isn\'t shiped yet, and the message I recive everytime i check my track order is that.

If there are in stock, why they don\'t ship?
