No, not at all Doug. But apparently you already figured that out as your birthday clearly shows now.
This concept and the practice of people depositing silver, and gold, at mints so it could be minted into coins that Conder pointed out is...
Far from the first time I've been wrong and won't be the last :) But at least I admit it when I am which is more than a lot of folks do ;)
Pretty sure he's not. I've run across a lot of dealers that if you judged their knowledge of coins you'd have to wonder how they managed to stay...

Gonna getcha for that ! And you too ziggy !
You missed, or misunderstood, something there that was quite important Kurt - when I said "you", I was referring to ALL collectors and dealers -...
