[QUOTE="longnine009, post: 2299105, member: 1886"][ATTACH=full]461791[/ATTACH] Thankya, thankya very much. But real nerds collect exonumia. :) I still wonder how many stackers stack because they're disgusted with the cartoon U.S grading system of a flea wagging the tail that's wagging the dog? Good news for anyone tired of that game-grading exonumia, at least as far as what I have come across, resembles the B&D grading in the 50's. Ten years ago I was winning mail bid auctions for Vietnam War club tokens that were graded as + - = above average, below average or average. ^Got that medal yesterday. It's the John Paul Jones medal from the US Mint's America's First Medals. That's the Bonhomme Richard boarding the HMS Serapis. It's was the famous "I have not yet begun to fight" battle for which I paid $4.68. And that was with buy it now. Exonumia: Geek on! :p[/QUOTE]
