    This gorgon always bugged me since the purchase. I think I only paid $30 so it doesn't qualify for Doug's $100 coin request. It bugs me like a $100 coin.
    Gorgon Anchor Collage.jpg We always say that if there is any question, then there is no question about it. I questioned this one so it sits in the dark..... cabinet.

    Next is still Doug's request for the $100+ never refunded black cabinet coin.

    I'm thinking that it has a little test punch on the reverse.
