@kanga, My half cent type collection is also complete and one of these days I'll post it up but not now or here. I don't want to detract in any...
Thanks. I don't get too wrapped around the axle about the AU-62 thing. The 59-O is also over-graded. As my knowledge, expertise, and...
As every security expert will tell you, all defenses should be layered since no single defense will adequately perform the job. So, how do you...
