Anyway, thanks for the detailed explanations and opinions. I was curious what someone else thought. Oh, and my friend of 30+ years, a small business owner fwiw, said that he can buy more of both coins in lots of 500. :eek: He just bought his two for a conversation starter. They were a couple of bucks and he was told they were from China. John[/QUOTE]
