The lines across the ear and hair are roller marks from rolling the strip to the proper thickness before it went to the blanking press. They're...
Got my 10 at about 12:10 and they're already sold to someone else. Pretty painful as the website was not behaving well. I'm glad I made sure I...

I was at his table that year doing photos, and he was set up right across from the Mint cashier with Alan Hager. What a freakin' zoo. We were...
