We&#039;ll all make a fortune &amp; the Mints will end up with egg on their faces!&quot;&nbsp; (Did you here about the lawyers who went out fishing &amp; their boat capsized.&nbsp; They swam 2 miles back to land through shark infested waters &amp; non of them was attacked!!...professional courtesy! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie57" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />)&nbsp; (Insert expletives &amp; comebacks here!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />) </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, it&#039;s a hell of a story &amp; is worth the read if you have time (CoinsWeekly.com)</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh &amp; btw, congrats to NGC on their grading of their 40 millionth coin, apparently the first TPG to reach that level.&nbsp; Think about that a moment...40 million slabs...by only that one TPG!....OMG!!!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie39" alt=":cyclops:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
