wow, randygeki => you've had yourself a stellar year, eh? (I like all of this year's candidates) I love the young Geta-obverse example (a definite contender) => but yah, the fricken sweet "Camel" is the absolute jewel in that lot (super amazing coin ... I'm jealous that lil' gem) cheers, randygeki (Happy Holidays)
