Is there a way to block a user so you don't have to see his posts on this board? I'm done with this BNB character.
Pretty much my only proof. 1961 Franklin, raw, I grade it 65Cam.
Meh, its not as bad as some things I've seen. The coin in the picture looks decent enough, and for someone who just wants a 2-cent piece, its...
