It did drop, a loooooong time ago. They used to sell for $400-$500, recent sales on Heritage were $111 & $135, MS & PF.
In other words, as long as your crystal ball is working you'll do OK. I would agree that there is a chance, but a "pretty good chance", ehhh no....
I'd say a new visit is what's called for, a visit with Darek (goldducat). I don't know if you guys realize it or not but Darek has been...
