On CaveTroll's holed typeset thread, the name Lord Marcovan came up. This is a great story of a bust half with a story AND a hole in it. http://www.pdxcoinclub.org/convention2005/bustHalf.html
Great story AJ. I can't wait until I acquire enough knowledge to pull of something like that. For me, that's half of the fun in learning about coins.
The one thing that drew me to Coin Talk nearly one year ago was its' knowledgeable members and the wealth of information that was displayed and shared among the community. I've recently cultivated an interest in this series and have acquired a few of the essential reference tool needed for studying this series.....there is a lot of information and so much for me to learn. Thank you Jack for posting a great story.
