[QUOTE="TIF, post: 3147536, member: 56859"]What a daring move, Cukie! COL NEMS are extremely popular here on CoinTalk (and everywhere) and of course the history and iconography are wonderful. They aren't always "winners" in the looks department and often they aren't bargain either, but your coin seems to be hitting the marks :). Well played! [USER=81887]@Parthicus[/USER]-- that's a great coin, a type I hope to get someday. I do have a COL NEM or two though...
