No, no. It's found a good home and I'm suppose to be on the darn wagon anyway. Now, if it were Steve who bought it, that's another story.
I'm always wondering the same thing---but I'm glad some of them stay within our little 'family'..... That is a gorgeous coin and at a great price too Pish!!!!

Happy birthday, John! I really can't go buy a coin in your honor. I've got a drawer-full of coins that need photographing and attribution, and I've got that collection I'm selling for Bing. My desk has a mountain of coins on it at the moment. Speaking of Bing's collection, here is a coin that he has given me as a commission for the selling. Thanks brother Bing!
