I'll be danged Charmy, you're right :o Coulda swore I had this one linked in there - LINGO As for adding you - that's on the list to do with...
Somehow I knew that :secret:
It's listed right under the Support and Feedback section - it's called Testing.
I paid $1250 for the coin. But like I said, 2 examples known. What does a US coin of that rarity sell for ?
