Tell ya what - why don't you send an email to andyl@eurekatrading.com and ask. Andy is a pretty good guy - and if he can't answer the questions,...
Yup, by groups of strange, quixotic people who no one understood for the next millenium or two - known as coin collectors ;)

Based on your description it sounds like the coin had a bit more than cabinet rub :rolleyes: But I do know what ya mean, and that dealer...
