Ian, let's say being up on the computer at 2 in the morning isnt' too helpful. [img] Moderators, will it be possible to merge this thread and...
You HAD to grab my attention didn't you De Orc? The best one that I can recommand personally is Greg at http://www.chervonets.com Yes, I bought...
Probably a good example of "buy the coin, not the slab". I don't care whatever the slabs say. As long as you know what is better, that is all is...
It might be although I really have no clue. It's unfortunately a token not a coin, as it's not legal tender other than the company that is issued...
Well how else would you want me to type Keemo and Ian. All I know is, it's just not a coin - If it's not a coin, then it must be a token or medal....
