    Yes—more than I normally budget for my ancients allowance but worth every penny. I very nearly spent quite a bit more for one that was a lot more worn, scratched, and not well centered. When I saw this one become available I didn't believe my eyes—I had to read the offer three times.

    Hey, hey, Deacon Ray - your thread drew a response from Joe Sermarini! One of only two ever, since 2004!
