Thanks, Steve. Just so you know, I work for food...especially jelly donuts.:D Bruce
I enjoy the research, Heavy, and find the history fascinating. Thanks for posting your coin. Bruce
I hear you, Dave. That's what I should have done. I'm retired now, so all's good in my world.:) Bruce
I did some research on your counterstamp, Heavy, and think I may have come up with an issuer. First though, two possible, but not likely ones....
