Now, if i can just find those old vials of "Knotts Berry Farm" gold flakes i would be in business..LOL
To Collecting Nut. You didn't, by chance, notice that gold seller laughing in his hands as you were leaving his shop ?
Internet auction but no, when I spoke with them on the after the auction they were glad I won the item at such a low price. We've never met but they really go out of their way to take care of me. I won a fine LSQ once. They couldn't find it to ship it with the other items from the auction. They called me and we reached an agreement. Two months later they still couldn't find it so they sent me a very nice AU of the same date and mintmark. That's customer service.
Collecting Nut. You are really very fortunate to have met up with such a fine dealer. Congratulations for those successes. It also looks likely there will be more similar purchases. It's like a pot at the end of a rainbow !!!
It's on a SPMA club claim, were finally down to a spot that looks more promising. It's a full on MINI discovery channel gold rush....
