Some times you can find a real good deal on ebay, Or come across some one selling something well beyond there knowledge and score big time. But NO in the case of the tooled mint mark and blurry pic.   01-27-2008, 06:16 PM   #10 (permalink) 900fine doggone it people like me     Join Date: Jul 2006 Posts: 3,806 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by Oldman But NO in the case of the tooled mint mark and blurry pic.
