Cheech, do you realize that the posts you are replying to are from 2008?
Welcome to the club! That appears to be a fantastic assortment of coins. Can't wait for you to teach us more about them!
That one looks familiar, but I can't remember where I saw it last. Gorgeous coin!
I think some people are under the mis-conception that CAC's business is stickering coins. It is not. CAC is an approval service which makes a...
