**Well, first item reported for the year 2022. Heron did NOT believe
he would 'make it' to year 2022. However, more time for this wonderful
hobby of coin, token, medallion, and paper money collecting. Especially
when sheltering at home per ORDERS of Gov Gav. Heron can also report that there are MANY new listings on eBay. Perhaps all of us
collectors can find a few more interesting items.**
