What was the venue where you bought it?
And then realize that it will weigh almost exactly the same if its core is tungsten instead of gold.
Yep, when I hear that line, the response that comes to mind is "that sounds like a you problem". Of course, saying that doesn't help move the...

Nah. ;)
Huh. When I had a holed coin that I wanted to submit to ANACS at a show, they weren't accepting holed coins at all. I guess they go back and forth...
Wonder if it's two people who haven't yet learned to distinguish a "3" from an "8" in the date?
