Awwwww, *rats*

=> that sucks, because Mat is already over-the-top about bronze disease, so this will definitely prevent him from purchasing another AE example for another year!!



=> Oki, hopefully a quick-fix and some Verdicare will stop you from hating this poor, misunderstood purchase? (I still think the coin absolutely "rocks" => good luck nursing this winner back on its feet)

 

i was very happy its from CNG

 

nice ... yah, exactly (well played)

thank you, @ancientone

Sorry to hear about the BD, Eric.

Dang straight I am. Shame too cause I have seen many Potins I have liked but few strikes from years past is enough.

Great galley coin, Eric.
