If it’s a button, where is the button loop? Both sides look too clean to have had one removed. I wonder if it isn’t some sort of membership...
Right!
Kanga: hey, it gets easier with only a bit of practice — I promise! To be sure, the system’s design is a bit — shall we say, ideosyncratic — but...
Yessss! I’ve been gnashing my teeth (what ones are left) since this site disappeared. Thanks SO much for your clue. Kanga: It definitely will.
I’m SURE he does.......

Last August I stumbled on to this string, learned how to become a supporter, and did so. My account info indicates I’m still regarded as a...
Hey, try the grading guide @ PCGS. com. I think you will be pleasantly surprised: the reverse looks like a good match for their XF40, the obverse...
You have to look really hard to see the “pimples”. They aren’t but a few, and to me look more like the occasional bits of die rust that are not...
