A local teller showed me an 1836 bust half that a convenience store guy had turned in. Wouldn't fit in a roll or the tray because it was larger in...
Meh, I like underlying beauty more than makeup. ;) Members of a certain age will understand when I ask if that's from the Tammy Faye collection....
In other words, you've got a foolproof plan to make a killing; all you need is a crystal ball or insider info. :)
