With all due respect, I do not see how this prediction is based in reality considering that the 20th aniversary set has settled into the $300...
Yes that is one of the ones I am looking for. I paid dearly for a lot of 100 of them on eBay back when production had just stopped due to broken...
I am due for a session to organize my coins so when I find the CCC token I will get an image of it. I also plan to find some other goodies, some...
I think I have a CCC counterstmap but on a copper Lincoln medal of some kind. Not sure of the exact occassion being marked. I also have a few...
