Jack - all I can say is you better hope she never meets me. She'll throw rocks at you after that and charge ya double ;)
It may well be exactly what Gmarguli said - an error.
Gonna be a coin show in Salt Lake this weekend. Me and a couple other members so far are planning on attending on Sat. 31st. Anybody else up...
