Do we have an urge to buy coins Steve would like so we can be cool like him or is it just an attempt to keep up with the X6's? I bought three...
There seems to be several minor pose variations here and some will differ as to which need a separate number and which are just a deer. Few zoo...
The next step is to count bumps and see which ones remain possible. Lacking IVN before NOB C eliminates Constantine II etc. My best guess using...
