Congrats on what sounds like a great score!! It's a very pretty coin :)
As Zumbly said, many auction houses are surprisingly (shockingly, even) bare bones operations. When the auction involves a thousand lots, getting...

That's a fantastic zombie coin! Nice nab :)
Jeez, Steve... a little impatient today? :D I'll post my one MFB while I'm at work and have a functioning computer. I sure hope my computer is...
