Wow, that portrait, and the strike on the obverse...
Just beat up, I'm afraid.
And now the fifth (non-consecutive) day is here. Lot #5. On the fifth day of COINmas, @Penny Luster gave to thee... Five Buffalo nickels: two...
The random number generator has spoken again, and chosen the winner of Lot #4. The number it selected was #162. [ATTACH] And Post #162 was...
