Sweet pick-up ... yah, I love that coin-type, yet I haven't been able to pull the trigger (yet) => congrats
Very nice example of this popular type. Looks like the same monograms as my example. I waited several years before taking the plunge and buying thie one last year. Regards, Martin
Steve, Oddly enough I found one I wanted to buy. I put in in my basket, went out for an hour and when I came back someone else had bought it. Ho hum, The search continues.
Came close to buying one twice but the first one I was a newb and couldnt stomach the price and the last was last year but I got outbid by $33. Owell, one day. Love the design though.
