I quite like the Brazilian. Too bad about the rim damage, but otherwise I like the look of it.
I'd buy that for a dollar, too. Totally.
If it did turn out to be a horn silver deposit, that would come with both a plus and a minus. On the minus side, horn silver is typically...
I'm really not the person to ask about horn silver. I've heard the term and have a vague idea of what it is, but it's best to read that thread...
