I see them at the coin shows quite a bit - so they gotta be out there, never really looked for any though. cwtokenman should be able to offer more...
You're entitled to your opinion CT, but I see nothing underhanded or shady about it. It's not like it's a surprise waiting for you at the end of...

Glad to hear it worked out for ya Nick. Must admit, since I've seen how you handle things in your shop I'm a bit surprised he was able to get away...
