You know it's early when you misspell "alarm" in your title...
and you snooze it out of habit, missing the auction, which goes for less than half of what you can sell the coin for. :banghead::arghh:
I certainly don't know enough to evaluate whether or not it was a good price, but I think that it is very attractive and well-represents the type....
