Yes- just the one gooseneck light ,aimed straight into the tilted glass of the top frame, angled so that most of the light reflects down onto the...
Thank ya very muuuuuch! (hard to type an Elvis imitation!)
I see I never followed up on Jason's question, LOL. 3 months later, the coin still looks the same.. I'm sure it's XF, I don't think I know enough...

This short date run of Busties appeared on Heritage not too long ago, so I put in reasonable bids (for me) and was surprised to win them all. All...
