Congrats lil bro.
I think the difference has to be the newer version. My older copy of RIC places this as RIC 17.
It's like being a kid in a candy store. The last show I went to I would think I wanted a coin but wait till I looked around. The next table I...
Nice story in images, John. How'd you do today?
Hear, hear!!
Very nice. I saw one of these for sale on Ebay last night, but it was in horrible condition. This one is in real nice condition. Congrats.
I agree with JA. This seller preys on those who don't know better. Yes, like TIF says, he will take much reduced offers, but you know he is...

I think there are still bargains to be had, even with limited budgets. Sure, you will not buy the beauties that Ancient Joe, Steve and Martin...

I will post "them" once I get "them" in hand. The sellers images are not very good. They are not pristine coins, but they are interesting.
VERY interesting pieces lil brother. Very interesting indeed [ATTACH]
From the pics, I'm not sure if that is not a silver wash rather than solid silver. However, to be honest, I'm not certain that Sev Alexander used...
Alas, Steve, it wasn't you this time (whew). But it has been lighthearted making coin collecting much less academic and much more fun. Now back...
Show us some pics. You may want to leave it as is.
