$52.98 for @PamR
I'm on the yes wagon as to a WAM. No to slabbing. In MS 65 these are around $50.00 or better if you negotiate, so the slabbing cost are not feasible.
@Kristine Garrant It has happened to more people than you can imagine. But it happens on all forums and social media. Someone will post a minor...

I remember when a nickel bought an 8-ounce bottle of soda, if you drank it where you bought it. Otherwise, there was a 2-cent deposit.

As @expat says, strike weakness in this area. I'm not in the camp of struck thru grease in this area as it happens way too much in just this area...
Not sure if anyone was aware of this but John Wexler's site is now closed to submissions pending a re-do of the site. Others are taking over the...

Separate names with a comma.
