OK, then given your last comments let me ask you this - if you can't get pure gold, what's the point of saying that gold won't tone ?

Just thought to check J.J. North - that R is only found on 5b & 5c. That X is only found on 5a thru c. Here's the clincher, the b has round eyes,...
You might be right jimmy. 'Course they don't have any pics of the c or the g. But I now have to agree it's not an e. To be honest, now that I...
If you saw the blow up pics I don't think you'd say that.
