A satin 22D the majority of these have a smooth mirror surfaces. This is the first in a while that I have found with more satin like dies....
I really enjoyed reading his posts he will be missed.
Fun experience, I was wondering though where is the coin that you argued with @Insider over? Fantastic coins as always Messy.
Definitely, I hope that this was a folder or bunch of tubes, a small collection that a dealer passed on and told the customer to just spend them....
