Man... I like that coin a lot, @kazuma78! It was on my watch list but ultimately I didn't bid (completely forgot about the auction! :sorry:)....
It's a lovely coin, David. I think the reverse is open to interpretation though. ;) [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Sigh. Okay, Doug. We could go back and forth on this all day but it would only make me and others more agitated so I'll stop now.
Y'know, the rules don't actually say this and it's a stretch to expect people would automatically know not to quote certain posts.. If it's that...
I have also wanted the type since seeing his! I guess several of us will be bidding for the next one :D.
