Never get tired of seeing great coins, and that is an exceptionally nice one. One to be admired . . . no, coveted. Wonderful pick-up and at a...
@dougsmit Great example of this coin, Doug. Now that is what I wanted to see. If my coin was in better condition (less wear) it would look like...

Sorry, you guys, but I have another. This coin was given to me and because of it's poor condition I had to have a go at attributing it. I got as...
Agreed, Chris, but I don't like writing on the card 342 or 344. Might be one to 'sell', (when I get around to selling any). Thanks.
