Hmmm, I'm not familiar with the inverted S for this date. I know there is a large S variety. Is the invert applying to only the small S MM?
I still have that website link you sent me a while back Chris, have it bookmarked. I'm probably going to pick up my first copper hoe this summer.
Sounds good, I've done business with Emporium the year before when the Santa Clara show was being organized by PCGS. Let me know what time...
Beaver pelts, wampum and Lucky Strikes.
