2coins - My last post was made more for the benfit of others, who do not understand or know how to recognize these things. Those are some...
Just for the sake of discussion take a look at these pics. [IMG] Those are the high points for the obverse. See how these spots are a...

You're reading it right. But that is still a bit pricey IMO. Coins like that have no numismatic value to speak of, and you are paying about 1/3...
Ahhhhhh - temptation is setting in :kewl:
