I wouldn't use that seller under any circumstances. Almost everything looks massively overpriced and they clearly specialise in nasty fake toning....

What Paddy said. That 1944 is a great buy for $4. :)
This is the only one I have, details graded for verdigris. [ATTACH] I think there are a couple of negligible spots behind Britannia's plume. I...
