Can't believe I missed it so badly. I'm guessing it looks a lot better in hand.
Loved this, and I can definitely understand where you're coming from. I've definitely reached the age when I'm thinking seriously about what to do...
XF cleaned.
I was leaning toward AU50 and think the XF45 is too low unless they're factoring in the marks on the cheek.
It's nickel, not nickle.
