If it's a scratch, it's interesting that it does not cross the rim. Instead, it (seemingly) makes a smooth curve and then follows along the edge...

Sorry, I was playing off of I guess the sub-types should have come in first according to date order. If that's in the rules I missed it.
Lame but it works. [ATTACH]

Yes, 2.5%. You have the option of paying by echeck (I think that's fairly recent?). Great Collections, by contrast, gives you a 2.5% discount for...

3" diameter works out to exactly correct for 16.43 ounces of gold if it's 1cm thick - I had to check if the weight was off. I scrolled through...
Finally arrived yesterday. Discussed previously in a GTG thread. [ATTACH]
