Thank you very much :)
Thank you Richard. And thank's for bringing up some additional info concerning the type. I was actually unaware of the theory involving Atia and...
No worries, seeing how rare these are in this grade I was prepared it was gonna go high, especially as it was auctioned during the summer in a...
