    This is my 20,000th posts on CT. It sounds like a lot, but it seems like it wasn't that long ago that I, Stevex6 and others came over to CT (I miss that guy and his posts).

    Anyway, to celebrate this milestone, I have a gift for myself. A new coin (gee, did you expect something else?). This is a coin I won in the latest FSR Auction which just arrived today.
