Can't blame you. I'm a sucker for neat holders, too. Nice coin. :)
Cool find. I've seen these for sale, but I've never gotten a good explanation of what exactly they were for. You'll see them with different...
@Westtexasbound, I think these three options, plus the possibility of working out a payment plan are really your only honest moves.
